SIMPLY SAUCER- Cyborgs Revisited
For many of us in Canada at the time, 1974 meant only Wayne and Schuster, thick moustaches, a not yet insignificant manufacturing industry, Pierre Trudeau, and brown velour v-necked sweaters. Believe it or not, however, innovative rock and roll was also being produced in humble little Hamilton, Ontario. Inconceivable? Read on. Simply Saucer were perhaps Canada's first proto-punk band, making forward-thinking music way out of step with the 1974 Canadian radio status quo of Terry Jacks and BTO. Sounding more like a masterful mixture of the Velvet Underground, Stooges, Modern Lovers, Can, Neu, Hawkwind, Pink Fairies, and Syd Barrett, both with and without Pink Floyd, than MOR rock, Simply Saucer quietly became deservedly legendary. At long last, their music is again re-released on CD, this time to an informed Canada (and the world, too) better able to appreciate their expansive and innovative genius. Well worth the wait, Cyborgs Revisited is everything it's rumored to be. Highly recommended.
