TROYKA - Troyka (1970 Canadian Heavy Prog Psych Bluesy)

ALBUM RARÍSSIMO DESSE POWER TRIO CANADENSE QUE MISTURA HARD ROCK, BLUES ROCK, PROGRESSIVO E PITADAS DE PSICODELIA!! HÁ MUITO TEMPO NA OBSCURIDADE DO ROCK ESSE CD FOI RELANÇADO PELO SELO ALEMÃO BLACK ROSE E MAIS RECENTEMENTE SAIU UMA EDIÇÃO MUITO LIMITADA DE 450 CÓPIAS EM VINIL DE 180 GRAMAS!!

A progressive rock trio from Edmonton, Alberta, though local collector Tim Holden tells me no one can remember much about them now. The album was recorded at Round Sound, Edmonton, Alberta. The band took care of the arrangements, words and music themselves. Most of the tracks - Early Morning, Life's OK, Rub-A-Dub-Dub Troyka In A Tub, Dear Margaret (Malgasia) and Troyka Finale are progressive rock style instrumentals. Another Rolling Down The Back Road has a sorta guitar freakout and Go East Young Man Beautiful Pink Eyes culminates in a sorta guitar jam. Certainly not for everyone but if guitar-driven instrumentation is your scene this could be for you. Certainly an unusual album. Often compared to Gun and Warpig.
