SYN "CAST THE FIRST STONE" SEALED ORIGINAL PSYCH

Description: SYN"Cast the First Stone (u.s.private label) 1980 SEALED ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS.RARE LYRICSHEET IS HERE Rare album of the underground US Prog scene, this Syn, propably from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, operated with a five-piece core of multi-instrumentalists Marc and Phillip Britton, lead female singer/guitarist Gloria Giarrusso, keyboardist/violinist Duane Loeper and drummer Randy Paxson.Through the liner notes it seems they were active already from the 70's, but ''Cast the first stone'' (1980, Cheap Plastic Records) is the only document they left behind.And what a weird name for a label to use.Neither cheap nor plastic, the music here is so flexible and varied you'll hardly get bored.Basic rock instrumentation with lots of keyboards and piano and occasional flourishes of sax, flute and violin in a semi-Prog, semi-Pomp Rock, semi-Art Rock contenxt.Everything here is cut in the middle, otherwise this could have been a really fantastic, overlooked Prog album.Elements of US Prog like Kansas-like pounding rhythms and Hard Rock vibes, Sunblind Lion-like melodramatic arrangements with standard Rock components and the effortless influence by Classic acts like Genesis on the Moog synth leads.Strong songwriting, some beautiful atmospheres, nice interplays, I would wish there had been more of them.And a great cover too for an overall pretty solid package of music and illustration.
