Hear & Now - Hear & Now - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Seelie Court - the world's premier tag for rare and previously unreleased archive recordings of underground folk, rock, proto-metal, and psychedelic music presents After the Races. Marvelous Kid. Gigged across Great Britain in the early 70s and played the first ever Glastonbury Festival, performing stunning Canterbury-esque extended Art Rock tracks. Their name originates from an American edition of Kipling's Just So Stories, and is spelt with one 'L' causing mass confusion and misspellings from day one, even amongst the band themselves. These studio tracks were for a planned 1973 LP that never was - and it's some of the finest complex Prog Rock of the era. At times there's a hint of the great Robert Calvert in the vocal. File with Caravan, Soft Machine and Yes.

Emerging from the restless creativity of New York City's late-1970s music scene, 'The Now' stood as a fleeting but unforgettable blip on the New Wave radar. Here is a band that burned brightly-playing the gritty Max's Kansas City circuit-before fading almost as quickly as it arrived. Comprised of Jeff Lennon (Geoff InchLipInch Danielik), Mamie Francis, Robin Dee, and Bobby Ore (Bobby Orefiece), 'The Now' was as eclectic as the city they hailed from, blending power pop, retro '60s vibes, punk energy, and even a splash of Jamaican rhythms into a single electric package. This album is the quintessential New Wave time capsule-vivid, fun, and surprisingly ahead of it's time.
