Could someone please reupload track A2? It is corrupted. Thanks!
Although I was one of the producers of this album (at the age of 22), Jim Jacobsen was the mastermind behind this project (with his college U of Wisconsin-Madison friends). My (then) Electric Fantasy Productions business partner, Paul Berolzheimer, did a brilliant job with the engineering/audio production. Obvious Influences were King Crimson, Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, Steve Reich, etc. I believe we pressed 1,000 LPs on Jacobsens "Touch Records" indy label.
Eardance was comprised of the most talented and eclectic group of musicians we had the privilege of recording during that era. Jacobsen taught himself Fripps style of guitar playing and he also mastered the Chapman Stick in just a few weeks (leading up to the start of "Seek Opposites" recording sessions.)
While we were mixing some of the tracks for this album (at Pierce Arrow Recorders in Evanston, IL), Cheap Trick was laying down tracks (in an adjacent studio) with legendary producer, Roy Thomas Baker for their "One On One" album. including the recording of their smash hit "I Want You".
What are some of the reasons this album didnt receive more attention, sales and distribution? 1) It was produced & released independantly in Chicago by newbies in our early to late 20s. 2) Prog Rock was out of vogue in the early 80s (new wave, punk, power pop & hair/glam metal ruled the charts & A interest. 3) Eardance was too eclectic for mainstream interest. 4) In 1982, there was no: MySpace, Facebook, the Blogosphere, iTunes, Rhapsody, uTube, AOL, live365, jango, AOL, Napster, livewire, Kazaa or imesh to find its core audience.
Eardance had the guts to play freely ... disregarding geting a'hit"for the radio. Give it up to them and alo get it released on CD - there are enough people to buy 500-1,000 copies if placed in a search engine.

Kudos to that gang, including mharkins. So nice to hear coolness such as this... copy I saw had 'demo' sparked on it, so was not a distributed one. pity, this would have lit up all of the folks I was hanging out with at that time.
It would be fine with me if this corner of the Prog world returned more deeply into the likes of Spock's Beard - who are into the Great Wall of (Prog) Sound and only sometimes get down into the reeds where this is thriving.
There's a hint of where math rock was headed towards here, too (Battles? Gordian Knot?) but there just isn't enough. Thank you, Ricsi, for sharing it!
