Dark - "Artefacts From the Black Museum" 1996

From Prog Archives: "Crafting a musical skeleton that has as much in common with British folk bands as it does with California jam bands, Dark wouldn't be unlike a lot of other psychedelic bands of the late 60's/early 70's. What made them different was one thing: a solid understanding of fuzzy guitar. Rather than use a fuzzbox to show off, Dark incorporated it into the build of their songs, laying it across moody, heavy tracks that approached sprawling."
With Round the Edges their sole release, this album is comprised of demo tracks and outtakes that had come to light in the early 90's to coincide with the rejuvenated interest in the genre. This album from 1996 remains one of my personal favorites of the lot (others include: Teenage Angst (The Early Sessios) (1994), Dark & Tarsus - A Min-Album (1994) Anonymous Days (2001), and The Jam (2007).
Pretty good stuff, and will satisfy the hunger of those who want to go deeper.
