In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

RARE MELLOTRON & HEAVY GUITAR DRENCHED PROGRESSIVE CLASSIC
Kyrie Eleison
The Fountain Beyond The Sunrise
\ Austria - MERLIN RECORDS
RARE mid 70's original first pressing, by a very talented Austrian progressive band -- their only album, (now very hard to find) is a private press on the "Merlin" label...
Contains the scarce lyrics insert
For fans of progressive 'art-rock theatre' this is your baby ...filled with dramatic flowing qualities not unlike the early 70's Peter Gabreil led Genesis ...lots of keys includig mellotron ...a full saturation concerning the Organ sound, driving the composition...
This is rock theater stuff, every bit as pretentious and naïve as anything that was released in the same period. The shortest track is the nearly nine-minute “Forgotten Words”, and all the rest are considerably longer. The use of mellotron and synths is as heavy as you could expect for the time, and the arrangements have the mark of classical leanings. One thing that strikes out is the heavy guitar and bass throughout, more like heavy rock than European symphonic (except for the keyboards), which is certainly okay with most collectors. The ranging “The Fountain Beyond the Sunrise” is the best example of this. The KYRIE ELEISON works could very well pass quite easily for being "The Lost Genesis (1971-2) Album". Style and composition is strikingly similar but there is also the odd hint of Yes/Pink Floyd/King Crimson/Van der Graaf Generator in places.
AdmittedHighlights are immediately felt in the first two awesome tracks, with the full on assault of martial drums, organs, rough cut yet harmonic vocals, booming bass, synths, and circus feel in the "Reign" part of the title cut being the hands-down highlight. It's like something we could have imagined from Genesis but not a direct copy of anything they did do. But each part segues into the next like a disturbingly tight dream sequence. .
The remaining two tracks including some blistering lead guitar and mellotron on the latter, the pieces seem more cobbled together, and they throw in a few direct Genesis quotes, like "Musical Box" and "Battle of Epping Forest".
Overall this is a superb mellotronic symphonic album. If you love the best GENESIS, you'll love this one.
