Copious – Neo-Fusion – 1986

We have about 100 or 200 albums in reserve for this project. This is one of those albums that I have NO idea why or how we have it. I see it was on Fortress/Refuge Records so my best guess is that I grabbed it because of that. Of course the next step is for me to actually listen to the album and I have no idea why I chose it but I did. This is a one album group out of the U.S. or South Africa. I’m not really too sure as I’ve seen it both ways. The album was recorded and mixed in South Africa, we do know that. They have this Jazz Fusion Progressive Rock thing going on and to be clear this is NOT my style of music. In fact I really dislike this style. That said this is a spectacular album that I should really dislike but I loved it. Now let me tell you about the band. They might be from South Africa. That’s it, that’s all I could find. This is their only album and I can’t find that any of the band members were involved in any other Christian projects. I’ll be honest wasn’t even sure this was a Christian project as it’s instrumental and the song titles aren’t very descriptive but the Thank you on the back cover settled that issue for me, it is. Anyway if you like your Rock Progressive and with a bit of Jazz Fusion this is a MUST listen.
