| | Mason Harbour CD Mason Discography of CDs
Originally from Virginia, Mason was another example of an American hard rock band that took its influences from the British underground and 1960s' psychedelic scene. This heavy rock album was initially released in 1971 through a tiny homemade pressing but through the years it has gained collectiblity and originals have fetched high prices as the band's reputation has spread among collectors. The album has been bootlegged a number of times over the past years with various covers in both CD and LP format. Mason's music combines the keyboard work of such bands as Deep Purple and the acoustics & complexity of Jethro Tull together with strong vocals, songwriting, and excellent instrumentation. All eight tracks on the album are originals, with six of them written by Jim Galyon and the other two co-written with Steve Arcese. Gear Fab legitimately released this album and included two bonus tracks written by Galyon. Digitally remastered and containing a brief history of the band, Harbour is a must for any heavy rock fan. Although Mason only lasted from 1968 to 1974, the band's musical legacy will continue this excellent reissue and will give fans of American music a chance to experience some of those long lost legendary albums that were, until recently, out of many music collectors' reach. ~ Keith Pettipas
This Virginia Beach-based rock band released this album in 1971 - It's hard rock in the style of early Jethro Tull, featuring acoustic instruments and flowing organs. Contains 2 never before released Alpha Studios tracks. (Previously deleted: 7/1/05. Ori Mason Harbour Songs | 1. | Let It Burn |

Purchase Harbour CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Christopher CD (1970)
Harbour album
$13.99 From the psychedelic tribal blues opener "Dark Road" through to the end of the album, Christopher shows just how strong the second-level psychedelia of the late '60s could be. There was no shortage of great musicians hailing from Texas during the era, and the ones who remained in the state were forming some of the most idiosyncratic bands of the swirling, inventive times: top-flight bands such as Thirteenth Floor Elevators, Lost & Found, the Golden Dawn, and Christopher. Christopher, though, cannot exactly be lumped together with those peers. They had to leave Texas for California to make their mark, and indeed, Christopher owes a good deal to the music of that state -- songs such as "Magic Cycles" and "In Your Time" are informed by the dreamier qualities of ...
| | Douglas Fir Hard Heart Singin' CDs (1970)
Harbour CD music
$11.59 By the sound of Hard Heart Singin', Douglas Fir must have been a smoking little blues-rock combo. They may have existed purely as a bar band, but the Pacific Northwest dives where they honed their sound must have been some pretty trippy little establishments, as evidenced by the brooding, ominous, mildly psychedelic (depending on your definition of the genre) nature of their rock & roll. Everything about the music is coated in a dense, smothering atmosphere (in a good way), as if it is all emanating from a small box rather than the band at the front of the room. The recording displays the same ponderous, cloistered, roadhouse blues edge of the Doors, and they share some of the Band's interest in old-time ambience, evident in the wonderful, rolling Ray ...
| | Blues Train CD (2000)
Harbour music CDs
$10.75 If most people's appreciation of Canadian rock during the late '60s and early '70s begins and ends with the Guess Who, they are missing out on a host of great lesser-known bands. One of the most intriguing of those bands is the Blues Train, a sensational psychedelic blues combo that, like the Crazy People, put out an album on the Vancouver exploit label Condor. That immediately brings into question who exactly played on the album, since one theory holds that the same studio house band was responsible for all the label's product. Regardless of band makeup, though, The Blues Train is valuable on its own considerable merits. It houses some truly excellent music, and if it is not a proper band, it certainly comes across as the work of a legitimate unit -- and a pretty outstanding one at that.
As the band moniker implies and in keeping with perhaps the primary influence on the rock & roll scene ...
| | Ivory CD (1973)
Harbour songs
$11.59 Ivory may be the finest Jefferson Airplane album not by Jefferson Airplane themselves. It is not quite a masterpiece on a par with Surrealistic Pillow, but it easily holds its own with many of the second-tier albums from the band's prime era. Ivory -- and producers Les Brown Jr. and Al Schmitt -- definitely knew how to get the most out of their relatively minimalistic setup. It would be difficult to over-praise the abilities of Kenny Thomure and Mike McCauley, who exhibit a near-telepathic partnership on their instruments, while Chris Christman's full-bodied vocals are room-filling powerful -- all that plus a really first-rate studio drummer. Lyrically Ivory mostly dispensed with topics of amorousness, instead concentrating on far-out, cosmic concerns ranging from the stars to such nebulous ideas of the inner dimension as "infinite realms of ...
| | Day Blindness CD (1969)
Harbour album
$11.69 A typical description of Day Blindness involves references to the theoretically similar but inherently antithetical West Coast bands the Doors and Iron Butterfly, and it does in fact play something like a cross between those two groups, though with none of the musical nuance and aesthetic vision -- and none of the existential considerations -- of the former and with all the unrelenting bombast and sonic pretension of the latter. What it does have in common with the Doors is its organ-heavy, acid-touched moodiness and its dense blues underpinning, though it is unable to do anything significantly innovative with either element. And like Iron Butterfly, Day Blindness draped their music in a sometimes smothering, cerebrum-numbing blanket of quasi-metal guitar. The band, ...
