Very limited press of this Hawaiian folk/psych masterpiece from 1973. A truly magical record! The original vinyl press goes for $300+, and not a single copy has turned up in years! -
Reissue of the lone LP from 1973 by a Hawaiian folk-psych group, that was privately pressed at the time and largely unknown until recently. This CD appears to have been legitimately reissued by the band. Mixing fragile female vocals, guitars of an acoustic, electric and slide variety, dulcimer, tabla, recorder, sitar, and synthesizer this has a soft, wavery edge that could easily pinch you if it sounds like a desirable cup of exotica. - Forced Exposure
This is an excellent album of folk-psychedelia with male female vocals from Hawaii (musically it is reminiscent of The Incredible String Band and C O B with dulcimer, tablas, slide guitar and sitar) The creative force behind the album was Margaret Morgan who composed most of the tracks - Hemisphere Music
This is the lone LP from 1973 by a Hawaiian group that was privately pressed at the time and largely unknown until a few years back. Mixing frail female vocals, a variety of string instruments, and synthesizer this has a soft, delicate sound that was beautifully recorded. Clarity rings throughout these earthy, organic, spacey, and nearly gothic songs, and this record will most likely leave you wishing there were more albums like this. - ProgNews
Heard this quietly-but-unanimously-touted record about a half-a-year after EAS formed and was terrified and thrilled by the kinship I felt to their music. Unfathomably evocative and technically and emotionally complex. One of the most beautiful records I’ve ever heard. As a testament to their timelessness, Ellen once suggested we play some shows with this band, not having any prior knowledge of their history, other than hearing the record. These Trails could be from a million years in any direction. - Eyes and Arms of Smoke
