Australian trio QUASAR was originally formed in 1974 in Brisbane with a few line-up changes after moving to Melbourne for a short while. The band released two albums, in 1979 and 1981 with some of the material composed earlier while the band performed in the 70's. Obscure music of QUASAR can be very psychedelic and avantgarde, and the ground that the band covers can be in part be compared to MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA with guitar playing of Robert FRIPP or polish SBB which also mixed fusion in a very experimental rock package. Recommended to fans of jazz rock bordering on eclectic and avant-prog genres. (progarchives.com)

A very unique band to present, QUASAR was an Australian trio recording and performing from mid-70's to early-80's. Information are hard to come but to my knowledge they were formed in 1974 in Brisbane and featured a keyboard and trumpet player in their early years along with the standard bass/guitar/drums instrumentation. Sometime after their formation they moved to Melborne for about a year, before returning in Brisbane now as a trio with brothers Trevor and Barry Tiplady on drums and bass respectively and Len Henderson on guitars.

''Nebular trajectory'' came out in 1979 on ACR Records in a small amount of 500 copies and this was a very hard listening for the time. Actually it still remains one of the most complex stuff I've ever heard. A totally instrumental complicated release, offering trippy jazz/prog with ultra-complex guitar work and a freaky rhythm section. While I am often reminded of KING CRIMSON listening to this album, this is even more experimental music to my ears using KING CRIMSON's influence only as a guide. Henderson is the man here, delivering obscure soloing and heavy parts with his guitar with Trevor Tiplady being a monster behing the drum kit, often having his solo moments .His brother Barry plays the bass in a more varied style, flirting here and there even with funk. A few keyboard effects can also be heard at the starting moments on a couple of tracks. Compositions sound sometimes too abstract, but the overall performance is very professional and could be a nice example for the trully technical side of prog.
For anyone who wants to explore what trully experimental prog means, I recommend this album warmly. For the non-mystified, prepare for an unmet painful experience...(apps79/progarchives.com)
