McDonald & Sherby – Catharsis(1974 USA Acid Rock)Full Album

One of the best heavy guitar driven psych/prog albums from 1974.!" The album consists of six long tracks with a decidedly heavy guitar-based vibe. Here's an interesting obscurity that mixes two really long moody songs and some shorter hard-rockers. The long songs have definite anthemic quality, and there's some cool guitar, organ and synth soloing: plenty of wah-wah and freaky noises. Most of this is blues-based, most of it riff-oriented. Neither the short or long songs are structured in a particularly complex way. Both are vehicles for jamming. It's a pretty cool record, and more distinctive than the description would suggest. " A guitar-based progressive album recorded at Sound 80 in Minneapolis. Though undated, the record sounds of a mid-seventies vintage, not dissimilar to fellow Great Lakes prog rockers «Kopperfield».
