4.0 out of 5 stars Guitar Drenched Psychy Proto Prog, November 3, 2008

Late 60's early 70's NYC power trio with experimental ambitions.

I don't know why this is not better known.

Lots of great guitar playing snaking around very modern sounding songs, not dated sounding. Instrumental guitar remake of Bach's "toccata" is excellent, not a novelty. Sixteen songs nothing longer than 6 minutes, guitar driven with great finese. Psych is the flavor with musical boundary exploring the ambition. Very tasteful musicianship.

Some of it even sounds like a harder edge Vini Reilly/Durutti Column.

A definite must for the adventureous listener, particularly of psych and proto-prog.

4.0 out of 5 stars Power-trio, December 3, 2009

The Flow is another power-trio from USA, NY,(not in the same league as Blue Cheer or Grand Funk, but still...) which was strongly influenced by Black Sabbath. Although Pete Fine on vocals cannot compete with Ozzy, the band is very interesting and convincing - two tracks of flirting with classical music (Toccata, Third Movement) show the skills which are well above those of the better established musicians. Basically, this compilation covers the whole history of the group,albeit not so successful - there is enough studio work (sometimes unpolished) on the CD. A good purchase for every fan of 70s fuzz-guitar sound, and a real collector's item.
