Progressive-rock: a fist-fight between John McLaughlin and Jimi Hendrix at the base of the great pyramid.
Editorial review
This is the debut release by this band, and the title alone shows that they have a definite grasp on being clever. The album combines diverse influences, ranging from Pink Floyd to Hawkwind, Rush, and even Genesis, with minimalistic chord patterns. The picture is completed by covering a good deal of those patterns with tasty guitar soloing. The result is a fine album in the mode of other albums which draw their dynamics from instrumental meanderings more than from intricate chord structures. Most of the tracks on the album are instrumental, but when vocals do show up, they are quite strong and well arranged. The production on this one comes across a bit harsh on early listenings, but after repeated exposure, it seems to be simply a nice flavor. Anubis Spire is Bill MacKechnie, Michael Leo Brothers, Tim Costley, and Mick Loher. They are joined on this album by a backing vocalist and a bagpiper. ~ Gary Hill, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
ANUBIS SPIRE is a guitar-heavy post progressive-rock/world fusion band with a decidedly Middle-Eastern flavor. Formed new years day 1998 after a chance jam session the night before, the group is made up of musical veterans who wanted to write and play music in the mid-seventies style of such bands as Led Zeppelin, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc.. From the beginning, they set about melding their various influences, adding a heavy dose of world and ethnic sounds and a few new twists to the mix.
