Hi all, Elfhouse is a symphonic prog band from 1978 that wasn't allowed into the PA database because the only recording is a 15 minute EP. I played bass on this recording made at Ayre Studios in San Jose which consists of 2 songs (both with vocals). "Lifting the Veil" is a 5 minute piece while "Mad Meg" is much more explorative at 9.5 minutes. The band has been most often described as sounding like a mix of Camel, King Crimson, and ELP. I think symph prog fans might enjoy this so if anyone is curious, they can check it out on Soundcloud (downloads allowed): http://soundcloud.com/dennis-m-366105599/sets/elfhouse-1" rel="nofollow - https://soundcloud.com/dennis-m-366105599/sets/elfhouse-1 In 1979, Dennis Pearman the leader of the band (guitar, keyboards and primary songwriter) moved from the San Jose area to Eugene OR and Elfhouse continued on for a couple years (though no other studio quality recordings exist). Always curious to hear anyone's impressions of my first prog band

^ It's excellent, like a prog Spinal Tap. And I mean that in the very best way. Love the break at 1:58 in 'Lifting the Veil', very U.K. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |
