Additional information
British avant-garde rockers Third Ear Band's album MAGUS was recorded in 1972. Third Ear Band: Mike Marchant (vocals, guitar); Simon House (sitar, violin, piano); Paul Minns (recorder, oboe, Hammond b-3 organ); Ron Kort (piano, percussion); Glen Sweeney (drums). Falling giddily between the cracks of psychedelia, prog and free-form jazz, Third Ear Band baffled the best in the late '60s/early '70s, then cemented their reputation by providing the soundtrack to Roman Polanski's film Macbeth, which was also to be the band's third and final album. A fourth one, however, was recorded in December, 1972, under the aegis of Ear's soundman Ron Kort, who also supplied percussion and piano to the set. But with their deal with Harvest Records at an end, and no new takers for the album in sight, the band faded away, to surface a handful of times in later years. The tapes, meanwhile, were carefully preserved by Kort, until finally Angel Air offered them a home. Magus would have defied description at the time, and the musical progression over the intervening years has only highlighted the problem. Today a song like "New Horizon" with its gloomy electronics and militant beats would probably be tagged goth, a genre that didn't even exist back in '72. The title track, too, could fall into that same category with its insistent rhythm and moody melody, at least, until the organ swoops down in all its pompous, early-'70s glory. And what of "The Phoenix," a spoken word piece accompanied by recorder, twittering bird effects, and a low rumble-like aural wave? Beat poetry or improv jazz? The tribal drums that accompany "The Key" also sound thoroughly modern, while the violin that sweeps overhead in muted gypsy fashion pushes the number towards world music, although club crowds might prefer to claim it for their own. Elsewhere, the more electronic "Cosmic Wheel," with its rousing rhythm and Indian flavor, calls to mind the more intriguing electro-sounds of the early '80s. The song reappears as "Kosmik Wheel" at the end of the set, Mike Marchant's harsh vocals industrial in tone, the music itself now giving way to total abandon, and only the time-warp sound of the organ betrays its actual belated date. A shocking, but masterful, album for its day, and no less so three decades later. One wishes store staff good luck in the thankless task of choosing a genre bin for this set. ~ Jo-Ann Greene

BEWARE. OBSESSED RECORDS ARE COMPLETE LIARS. Ordered a CD box set and paid $63.17AU. Received notification after 2 weeks that CD was damaged, out of stock & waiting to be repressed by supplier. After refund was received, same box set was listed on 3 of their sites with a new price of $251.10AU, 4 times the original cost. They also listed the reason as Buyer asked to cancel. Complete lie. Never again with this sketchy business. Found a copy on Discogs anyway. This company has broken eBay policy.
