A classic marriage of disco and progressive rock – served up in this mini "opera" of sorts by DC LaRue! The album's got a very odd feel – almost spare and thoughtful at times, yet always moving in an uptempo disco groove throughout. Michael Zager plays organ on the record, and arrangements are by Aram Schefrin. Titles include "Deep Dark Delicious Night", "Cathedrals", "I Don't Want To Lose You", and "I'll Still Be Here For You". LP, Vinyl record album

A really great look at a scene that was incredibly strong in the 70s, but almost a secret to the rest of the world – given that most of the records here got wide distribution in Australia, but on labels who had no connection to the rest of the global market! Australian jazz had already gotten going well into the 50s – but during the time in this stretch, local musicians were really coming into their own – embracing modal jazz and more open-ended soloing – but also in a way that wasn't slavish to American or European trends either – which makes so much of the work here such an amazingly fresh discovery! There's a majesty to this music that you wouldn't expect if you didn't know the scene that well – a sense of pride and power that's amazing, and which makes this collection stand together wonderfully as a testament to this great moment in music. Titles include "Circles" by Allan Zavod, "Valley Of The Tweed" by Bob Bertles Moontrane, "Kuri Monga Nuie" by Bruce Cale, "Whirlpool" by Charlie Munro, "What The Thunder Said" by Out To Lunch, and "Number One" by Ted Vining.
