ALBUM REVIEW
The self titled album "Salem Hill" is the bands first release and has now been remastered to CD for its Cyclops release. This song orientated album has a sound that is somewhere between Kansas and Blue Oyster Cult with touches of guitar influence from Jan Akkerman. The instrumentation is more guitar based than their later albums, with some interesting dual guitar solos, but the album really highlights the strength of the band - the close harmonies of a band with three vocalists. This is a band where all the members can not only sing but their voices blend so well together. Reflecting some of their influences this is an album full of 4-5 minute songs on the progressive side of American mainstream rock. (Cyclops)
