Northwind (Last Day at Lokun). 1972 private
Northwind (The Woods of Zandor). 1974 private
Distant Shores. 1977 unreleased
Northwind were a Detroit area progressive rock band that is another fantastic representation of the Midwest music scene of the era. Hints of commercialism abound, but the group cannot resist the tricky compositions, while wailing on all that fat analog gear. Bands like Surprise, Starcastle, Ethos, and Albatross are all good reference points. These albums are available for free on Bandcamp, but I for one would love to see a full blown CD production with liner notes, photos, and a more detailed history.

I haven't heard the 1972 album yet.
