cd - T2 - Early 70's Psyche & Prog

T2 were an early British psychedelic prog-rock band that really would have benefitted from the internet. The story goes that T2 opened for EVERYONE between 1969-1970 and was destined to be the next Cream, or at the very least the next Deep Purple. But, alas, there was a problem printing the album and it wasn't released on wax until six months after it's schedule release date. The moment had passed for T2 and nobody paid attention to their eponymous effort.

It's too bad, because T2 is great psyche album that sounds like what would have happened if all the good parts of the Moody Blues went and got baked with Traffic and Cream. I don't name-check these bands lightly. They pull off every trick in the psyche book, from a mix so atrocious it must have been deliberate to unintelligible high-chanting vocals that trail into the guitar's tremelo.

I first heard T2 on a CD... here is the track cd from T2.

Listen to cd (zshare) by T2.
