While SDT, at first, could be labeled a prog-folk group, but by the time they became fully electric, their sound became
darker, harder-edged and the lyrics full of existential black humor. In this sense, they stood out like sore thumbs in
the UK prog scence; no tales of elves and Tolkien here. "Dischotomy," while not essential to casual fans, is more than
some stripped-down, dog-eared demos. On the contrary, several could have made the official releases. This makes
"Dischotomy" essential to listeners drawn by their two Charisma albums. In later incarnations with Chris Adams, SDT
became more less distinct; gone was the edge, replaced with melancholy Americana. But, hey, you don't think the
same at 65 as you did at 25. Tragically, Chris Adams died a few years back, cutting off any possible resusitation of
earlier SD.
