SYNANTHESIA Synanthesia (Very rare 1969 UK 11-track Stereo
vinyl LP, the debut [and sole album] from this London based act
who played a unique blend of acid folk, rock and jazz with a
distinct Comus-esque darkness. Housed in a front laminate
pinched spine picture sleeve. This one previous owner copy was
obtained from the private collection of a former '60s record
producer and is in superb condition, apart from a tiny nick at the
top, the sleeve and vinyl both grading a wonderful NearMint.
Please see below for more details on the band SF8058)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
Synanthesia were a hybrid of The Incredible String Band , acid folk, Comus-esque darkness and jazz. These styles/genres combined to make for quite an original sound with sax and haunting flute to the fore.
Formed in London, England in 1968 by guitarist, Les Cook, Synanthesia were a trio with an 18 year old, ex-soul bassist, Dennis Holmes, who switched to guitar and vibes. The trio was completed by jazz sax and flautist, Jim Fraser.
They performed in and around the London area and garnered interest from the newly formed Chrysalis record label. One of the venues that they would frequent was the infamous Three Tuns in Kent, home to David Bowie's Arts Lab.
It is rumored that Synanthesia were briefly Bowie's backing band, before he recruited the Hype and, subsequently, Hull's Rats, who became the Spiders from Mars.
Synanthesia recorded their sole, eponymous album Synanthesia in 1969 for RCA. Unfortunately, RCA weren't interested enough to promote the band. Without RCA's backing and the lack of airplay on the radio, Synanthesia split and the threesome went their separate ways.
