Psopho, Belgium


Sheer Profundity. 1982 New Sound

Psopho were an obscure band from Belgium that were part of the first wave of neo prog bands, without probably realizing they were part of any kind of scene. One can hear similar sounds emanating from fellow countrymen such as Isopoda and Now. In addition, the same mindset Germans come to mind here like Tibet or Ivory. As is often the case, the vocals are a bit of a weak link as is the production. But in reflection, the compositions are quite adventurous and hold up well on multiple listens. This one still has room to grow in the rating column. I think fans of the early NWOBPR movement will find much of interest upon hearing Sheer Profundity.
