Chakra ~ USA


Chakra. 1979 Brother Studio

Commercially oriented progressive rock album, very typical of the late 1970s American scene. The sound is more commonly found in the Midwest, but there were traces found on the left coast with bands such as Jester, Bounty, and Harlequin Mass. Plenty of complexity to satisfy most progressive rock fans, but there's a distinct AOR song craft at play here. Going For the One / Tormato era Yes was a major influence on these bands. 

Priority: 3
