Haven’t listened to anything by Mystery for a while. This Canadian outfit has become one of my favourite prog rock artists.

Nice album, HH. But why is he standing on that cat?

Perhaps a bit overlooked band?

Patricia Barber, a distortion of love. I am after her signature song My Girl which is the second last track in the album (track 9). This album is proving to be interesting. :relaxed:

Thanks @seakayaker for mentioning her.
