Spooky Tooth (1974) The Mirror

Possibly the most underrated of the British Blues scene of the 60's this band managed to have psychedelic creativity and hard rock chops and some of it's lineups features Gary Wright, an American who would strike out with his own solo career, cough Dreamweaver cough..
Though never becoming as well known or having a famous hit they produce some stellar albums in the late 60's and early 70s probably culminating in The Mirror (1974) though it didn't feature the voice of the band Mike Harrison's scorched wail. The Title Track features a hypnotic verse before the entrance of choral backing vocals and a bright layerings of Moog synthesizer and flourishes of ARP String Ensemble to create a dreamy, reflective texture.
