Search - Jan Dukes de Grey :: Strange Terrain

Import release of the long-lost unreleased third album from the Acid Folk outfit. Responsible for two of the strangest, most beguiling albums of the early 1970s, Jan Dukes de Grey have long been a legendary name on the Prog/Folk/Psych collector circuit. Jan Dukes had actually gone on to record this third album that had failed to appear at the time, largely due to the emergence of punk and the ensuing Collapse of Western Civilization As We Know It. And here it is, complete with a handful of bonus tracks cut during the same timeframe (including the novelty single 'Standing In A Little 'Ole', issued under the band's Punk-era pseudonym Rip Snorter). Recorded across 1976-77 under a production deal with Pink Floyd (Roger Waters produced and mixed two of the tracks), Strange Terrain reflects Derek Noy's desire to approach each album as a separate project rather than endlessly remake the same record. Dark, somber and mysterious, Strange Terrain retains the boundless spirit of adventure and idiosyncratic approach to music-making that characterized their earlier albums. Cherry Tree. 2010.
