Byzantium

Moving along the shades of early psychedelia and contemporary progressive rock, Byzantyum launched the careers of Mick Barakan (later of Lone Justice), Robin Lamble, Chaz Jankel (future member of Ian Dury AND The Blockheads) and Robin Sylvester. The guitarists are the band's fulcrum, giving free rein to rocking riffs and fiery leads as well as moodier 12-string passages. A very eclectic set indeed, from baroque oriented pop numbers to soaring majestic tracks.
