Facedancers - The Facedancers (us 1972),Folk Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Prog Rock<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Early prog crossover album from 1972 with some psyche influences. Produced by Teo Macero of <br />Miles Davis fame. Creatively designed songs that show thoughtful experimentalism. The lead <br />singer claims he hits the highest note ever recorded by a man on a rock record. True or not - <br />the girly-sounding vocals work well in this context. Interesting album that rewards a few close <br />listens.<br /> ~ by freakemporium.<br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Early crossover album headed in a prog direction but before the ground rules for that genre had <br />been established. Some uninteresting solos, but mostly creatively designed songs that show <br />thoughtful experimentalism. The lead singer claims that he hits the highest note ever recorded <br />by a man on a rock record, and it’s hard to dispute that claim. Indeed, the girly-sounding <br />vocals work well in this context. A few songs are pretty creepy, with one called “Nightmare” <br />being a stand-out. Interesting album that rewards a few close listens.<br /> ~ by AcidArchives.<br /><br />Formed: United States <br /><br />Members: <br />Barry Armour (bass, guitar), <br />Dale Armour (flute, guitar, keyboards, vocals), <br />Scats Bloom (harmonica, percussion, vocals), <br />Michael Loy (percussion, drums), <br />Kelley Moko (guitar, vocals) <br /><br />Engineer: Captain Eddy Corvin;<br />Executive producer: Marty Thay for M.A. Productions Inc.<br />Recorded: Blue Rock Studio,Soho,NYC<br />On cover date are 1972, but on label 1973<br /><br />Track listing:<br /><br />A Side<br /><br />01.
