Cat Nº: GUESS234

Beyond rare private press album from 1974, a fantastic mix of progressive rock with acid-folk, spaced-out psychedelia and cool conceptual / soundtrack vibe.

Pete Fine is a virtuoso acoustic and electric guitarist and also a self-taught composer and orchestrator. After playing with psychedelic hard-rock trio FLOW in the early 70s in New York, Pete, influenced by classical composers like Anton Bruckner, started to focus on his 12-string guitar, composing music in a symphonic style.

“On A Day Of Crystaline Thought” was his first solo album, self-released in 1974 as a private, home-made edition of 100 copies, now impossible to find.
It was recorded using classical / rock musicians plus a chamber Orchestra from Harlem. It features 12-string guitars, electric guitars, timpani, string sections, French horns, flute, piano, organ, drums with early digital delays, female vocal harmonies.

"Great early 70´s guitar concept album with little progressive touch to it. Only 100 copies released at the time this is a very rare and sought after collectors piece. Beautifull vocals, great guitars, strings, horns, sound-effects, an amazing studio production. Pete Fine is a master on the electric and accoustic guitar. An electric Psychedelic Concerto "

"Finally out on CD! Recorded in 1971 by the leader of The Flow, this very rare US album album is a beautiful mixture of psychedelic rock music and classical composition with exotic percussion, assorted vocal harmonies etc. The mix of rock and orchestration is a very personal experience that predates a lot of the "band meets orchestra" projects that were to follow in the '70's."
