Somewhat mysterious but eminently worthwhile quartet from Indianapolis,IN,Anonymous was active in the mid-to late '70s but sounded like they came from a decade earlier.The group's acknowledged antecedents were the Beatles and the Byrds,but from such familiar trappings,Anonymous created a richly textured version of classic psychedelia that both adheres to and ignores the common precepts of the genre.The mellow,wide-ranging but never aimless results sound like a cross between a far more structured version of Quicksilver Messenger Service and an American equivalent of the fluid,jazz-tinged progressive rock of Curved Air.The 1976 original is hyper rare (depending which reference you believe,either 300 or 500 copies were pressed and at least some of them are apparently pressed slightly off center) the 1981 reissue is only rare.
