CMU - OPEN SPACES (TRANSATLANTIC 1971) Japan mastering cardboard sleeve



Cambridge based CMU were a sort of folky bluesy progpsych outfit,like so many at the turn of the '70s,and they managed a couple of albums. Their debut, Open Spaces (1971) is a stunning, complex, melodic progressive album with exceptional female vocals, great fuzz guitar and strong keyboards.By their 2nd album, Space Cabaret (1972),CMU had moved away from their bluesy roots into a more folk/psych direction,although they could also rock out when the mood took them. Original LPs on Transatlantic Records are now rare...[net]

Contemporary Music Unit (CMU) - Open Spaces: A fantastic recording, in pretty much the same vein as Affinity, or the Linda Hoyle album. Belongs to the best pages of UK Progressive Rock. Beautiful female vocals, and very atmospheric arrangements...
