In The Darkness of Night 8. The Sound of Younger Times Incredible mid-70’s Houston hard rock, progressive, psychedelic rock band (yes, all that and more) that featured mellotron, vox jaguar, crunchy, heavy guitars, flute with echo effects, and lots more. Mike Williams This album is an amazing discovery. Good on Riding Easy for getting this gem out into the public's hands after 40 plus years. The psychedelic sounds oozing from this album are infectious, all the experimentation really paid off for Spiny Normen on this record. I had previously mispoke and attributed this album to Ripple Music, I apologize for the error.
Spiny Normen is a prog-psych hard rock band from Houston that existed almost solely within a few years in the late 1970s. Fronted by then 19 year old Steve Brudinak, Spiny Normen recorded their only album at a community college in 1978, originally to be part a part of a Brown Acid compilation series. Spiny Normen was left unreleased until one single was discovered, and it was thus decided that the rest of the project would be released as well.
