Third Ear Band Third Ear Band Import LP

Magic Box present a reissue of Third Ear Band's self-titled album, originally released in 1970. Eerie, dissonant, and hypnotic, Third Ear Band sounded like no one else on the British underground scene. Their second album - often referred to as Elements - was released in June 1970. Spanning classical, jazz, and folk, with clear original influences, it's a lost avant-garde prog classic. Reissued here in its original gatefold artwork and with an insert offering images and background info.

[Third Ear Band's] self-titled, second album is probably their definitive statement, consisting of four lengthy tracks devoted to the primary elements ('Air,' 'Earth,' 'Fire,' 'Water'). The feeling is one of improvised (though well-conceived) pieces that build up from initial drones to multi-layered ragas built around the same initial patterns. Their strong debts to both Indian music and contemporary experimental/minimalist compositions are evident.
