Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	BTR 023CD

This is the first-ever CD reissue of this 1976 folk obscurity from The Seventh Dawn, remastered in a 24-bit remaster, with four bonus tracks. Here's a strong U.S. eclectic folk album that calls to mind The Moody Blues or even Trees, but with spookier, more fragile feeling, with male vocals and female vocals that sound like Vashti Bunyan gone American. There is also a totally bonkers synth-fueled rocker that defies rational explanation. Sunrise mixes light progressive vibes with a unique mid-Atlantic folk sound. These recordings were made between 1970 to 1976 at the Virginia Commonwealth College, with just 200 copies released in 1976 on the Fantasy Worlds Unlimited label. This mega rarity was also released by Project Aquarius back in 1995 in a long-gone edition of 275. Comes in a handsome paper gatefold sleeve that precisely reproduces the original LP sleeve in miniature form. Includes liner notes, lyrics and rare photos.

Title:	Dreams
Label:	RIVERMAN MUSIC (KOREA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	BTR 030CD

This is the first-ever CD release of The Seventh Dawn's Dreams, originally released in 1977, the follow-up to Sunrise, their 1976 debut. Now remastered in a 24-bit remaster, including six bonus tracks. Seventh Dawn recorded their second album at the Virginia Commonwealth University's electronic music department. It has a more ambitious, emotionally-driven energy that unexpectedly bursts forth on the first two tracks. Moody amplified guitars, bits of reverb on the vocals and second guitars, the male, female and dual vocals, the keyboard arrangements, and the minimal use of drums. The conceptualized, fragile creativity brings to mind the Ithaca album, and the beautiful analog, sometimes mellotron-like synthesizer arrangements recall Emtidi's Saat. The songs on Dreams move beyond the innocence of Sunrise, but a sense of optimism remains. Housed in a paper gatefold sleeve, including lyrics, original cover artwork insert, and liner notes written by member Heff Munson.
