US Fusion Band, The Awakening in 2 albums [Hear, Sense and Feel 1971, and Mirage, 1972]

Pretty ordinary US fusion with vocals, but I wanted to highlight the amazing cover art of the third LP which is a compilation of tracks from the 2 earlier releases.  That butterfly Nefertiti is just crazy, isn't it?I saw it a vinyl store and was blown away by the design, so classic.

Sparse info on discogs on this page.  From the first album, the Awakening Prologue:

From the second and last album, Mirage:

Back to the University of Miami Band, Part 2: Estramos Ahi 1983, and My Ideal 1987 [WAV files]

 

These 2 are not quite as compelling as the preceding Seventh Sign.

From 1983's Estamos Ahi, In a Fashion:

From 1987's My Ideal, Beckon Call:

Back to the University of Miami Band, Part 1: Seventh Sign 1977 [WAV limited time]

 

I wonder if people remember the 2-LP I ripped from this univ. band, long ago called Halcyon Days.  Here is the 1977 release, called Seventh Sign.  Note the 2 different covers, hard to say which one is more attractive-- both are.

The title track is quite enjoyable:

Henry Now - Then Again, by request, limited time only

 

Henry Now:

The name was chosen by producer Max Marchini in occasion of the Henry Cow reunion in 2022. It consists of Fred Frith, John Greaves, Tim Hodgkinson and Chris Cutler.

This time discogs is right to describe it as improvised, avant-garde.  There is no composed music, so far as I can discern.  Recently released, therefore uploaded only limited time with no reups please.  First track sample:

Back to the HUJE band, part 2: the rare 1979, and 1982 LPs

 

From the 1979 album, databased here, a track called Myles Dream, written by Marsvyn David:

From HUJE 1982, the lovely and ingeniously winding melody of Outside my window:

Written by Grady Powell.  What happened to him, I wonder?
