Third Quadrant, England


Seeing Yourself As You Really Are. 1982 Rock Cottage

One of my favorite titles ever, the philosophical Seeing Yourself As You Really Are was released just a few months prior to the New Wave of Progressive Rock movement (aka Neo Prog). It arrived just a tad early to receive the press and distribution it needed to survive. It's considered one of the major rarities from the era, along with the Airship label groups like Protos and Gemini. Musically it's fairly under produced, but does possess a strong mid 70's Genesis to late 70's Pink Floyd feel. 

Mellow Records reissued a later cassette called Layered many years ago, but never did tackle this one. 

Third Quadrant have two earlier cassettes that I will attempt to hear at some point.

Priority: 3
