Snail-Headed Victrolas by Amber Route (Feat. Walter Holland), released 01 January 1980 1. Snail-Headed Victrolas 2. When Cries are Photographed Finally as Ravens 3. Martyrs 4. Asteroid Joiroid This is the 1980 debut album from the cult prog-rock, electronic band Amber Route. The band featured Walter Holland and Richard Watson. The original album features songs on one side, and an extended electronic piece on the other side. This is a cult classic!

Amber Route, Holland's first band before he went solo, released two highly sought-after albums that have become something like cult objects among the electronic/space prog congnescenti. Relic, an offshoot of the Projekt label, has finally committed to the digital domain Amber Route's singular debut. Both Holland and t Richard Watson have created a series of perplexing, oddball works that resists easy categorization. Amber Route tilts the axis between organic rock and cosmic space freakout-to often jarring effect

AMBER ROUTE were founded in 1973. Spiritus movens of the band was Walter Holland, a synthesist from California. The band was born when he joined with Richard Watson - the band released two sought-after albums named 'Snail Headed Victrolas' and 'Ghost Tracks', from 1980 and 1983 respectively. Their sound is a mixture of space rock in floydian style and electronic soundscapes reminiscent of Tangerine Dream sequences. The release of the band are highly rewarding - namely the 'Asteroid jorioud', the side-long suite from their debut album. Archive opens the vaults with 1980’s Snail Headed Victrolas. Analog electronics and stirring guitars, the first American independent album to catch Sam’s ear. Acid-hazed mind-trips, ripe with sounds and emotions few have been able to capture. Hippy space rock revisited.
