Heat Exchange
Reminiscence
Formed in Toronto, Canada, in the late '60s, Heat Exchange is known for three fantastic 45s for the Yorkville label (early '70s) that mixed hard rock with psychedelia, heavy progressivism and funk-rock sounds. It was a major surprise to discover that in 1972 the band recorded more stuff with the intention of releasing an album. But in the end the deal fell through and only four of those tracks were released as single sides. Soon after, the band disbanded. Luckily, the band members kept a copy of the master tape all these years. So here, for the first time ever, are the group's complete studio recordings, including their three 45s plus the previously unreleased recordings. Musically this is fabulous, UK sounding heavy prog blended with psychedelic hard rock. Top level musicianship, well constructed songs, powerful vocals, sax, flute, wah-wah, organ and a solid rhythm section are all part of the deal.
