Rick Eddy of A Triggering Myth is a huge fan of Area. Since his knowledge of the band is far deeper than mine I asked him if he would provide a brief write up on each title. Here goes:

"Area are basically a smoking jazz/rock band using a mixture of jazz, rock, middle eastern folk music and avant-guarde experimentations. Unlike most fusion bands, they are led by an extraordinary vocalist, Demertrio Stratos, whom I would describe as Pavrotti meets Robert Plant meets Meredith Monk. If that sounds unique, it is and thats how I would describe this band. A very unique sound of their own and one of the best bands of the 1970s. . This, their first album is the closest thing to a straight fusion album. This is also the only one with a reed player in the band and also had Patrick Djvas (later with PFM) on bass."
