Finch - Mythology (Remastered) (2013)

Founded in 1974 and derived from the legendary group Q65, FINCH is still regarded as one of the most leading of the second generation of Dutch instrumental symphonic Prog bands. Complex and harmonic orientated long compositions with lots of space for guitar and synthesizer fills take up three albums and one seven inch single.
The ‘live’ reputation of FINCH is often especially remembered as legendary - 'Nuff said for those who were eyewitness to these events. Others can now enjoy ‘Mythology’, a 26 track Deluxe Triple Disc set that not only re-launches their three studio-albums: ‘Glory Of The Inner Force’ (1975), ‘Beyond Expression’ (1976) & ‘Galleons Of Passion’ (1977) and their ‘Colossus’ 7" single, but also presents three recently unearthed pieces that were recorded by Dutch radio station VPRO: ‘Paradoxical Moods’, ‘Pisces‘ and ‘Register Magister’ which all captured FINCH on stage shortly after the release of their debut album, featuring the first definitive line up of: Joop Van Nimwegen (guitar), Peter Vink (bass), Cleem Determeijer (keyboards) and Beer Klaasse (drums).
The recordings were made in December 1975 in De Tagrijn in Hilversum. Also included is: ‘Necronomicon’, a ‘live’-only track recorded in late 1976 in Berkel en Rodenrijs. The set is completed by eight demos from the pre-production of the 3rd FINCH album: ‘Galleons Of Passion’.
