I've been after this LP for a while. Well, not really after this one here. David Wescott's "Musical Evocation Of The Old Testament" originally released on french library label MTS. I was so darn happy when I found this affordable copy in the depths of the web because I only had an mp3 of "Across The Jourdan" which really blew me away. When the record finally landed on my player I was quite astonished to hear these great progressive sounds on side A. Quite different from what I knew. Then quick to Side B to finally hear Jourdan in high quality. Hmm, where is it? ........IT'S NOT THERE!
After my disappointment settled a bit I listened to the whole album again and again and I liked it! mmmmh..... maybe just another recording session or a modern version as the cover says, I thought. Recorded the whole thing and when I got to naming the tracks I realized the info given on cover and label do not match the track lenghts at all. I suppose this has nothing to do with the Wescott record but imho it's an amazing record.
The tracks are now named A1, A2, etc as I have no Idea what these are really called nor I do know who is responsible for the music. Maybe Wescott, maybe someone else. If you do know more than I do please enlighten me. If you're curious about the music - a link will appear soonish.
Cheers!

...you're making me curios about your share here...Thanks for posting...
I'm enjoying plenty of bits of this.
Many thanks for the intriguing post -- whatever it is!

The music is excellent. Reminds me of Blue Phantom. So how far off are the printed track durations? Whatever it is, it must be an artist from the same label. I have a few records with labels for completely different sets pasted on them but still from the same label. This is 70s. The more I listen the more it sounds like Blue Phantom. That would be a very nice score . . .
this site is like tina, S.T.B.
thanks basso, there is an mp3 copy of the MTS album floating around if you need it
what a beauty!!!
thank you
this album as I downloaded it is a classic of french seventies progressive music, asia minor, I think the first one, is it possibly you ripped the wrong record?
is it possible I ripped the wrong record ? Hmmm, I think not as I have been wondering about this oddity a lot and I have been hearing this record quite a few times before I have recorded it. I am cut´rious about that Asia Minor... you have mp3s?
Mystery solved. Anonymouse jogged my memory. This is from the first Asia Minor record though it is not the same. The track durations on Crossing the Line were longer and there were a few vocals. The tracks were reissued in the late 80s as "Landscape Pictures in Rock" which was intended to be a 'library' record. The track durations were shorter and the vocals were removed. And the last crucial piece of info: it was released on Master Plus . . .
Here's the track titles and looks like the durations match what you ripped. http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=15318
stil love to hear this if you have it :)
thanks
So let me get this right, this album has been released in three versions - an original and two modified versions:
1) The first Asia Minor album (without the vocals and the tracks shortened) which is called ???? and was released in 19?? and is on the ???? label
2) David Wescott - 'The Old Testament Nature Fiction' Released in 197x on the Master Plus label
3)Asia Minor - Landscape Pictures In Rock Released in 1988 on the Master Plus label and the tracklisting is as follows:
1. Preface (3:37)
2. Mahzun Gozler (5:00)
3. Mystic Dance (1:42)
4. Misfortune (3:08)
5. Landscape (2:33)
6. Visions (2:37)
7. Without Stir (1:48)
8. Hayal Dolu Gunler Icin (2:32)
9. Postface (2:02)
Or am I hopelessly confused !?!? Its such a splendid album that it would be good for me to know what to label it as definitively!

Thanks a ton!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought all tracks to be as good as "Across The Jourdan". Now hearing the LP is a wonderful mythbusting experience. There's many calm and moody ones. Really nice but totally different from the Jourdan track. I am so happy that I found the Asia Minor Instrumentals instead : )
sorry u didn't really dig it basso as i've dug the living chit out of so many of yr fine posts over the years. this was the first palace of wisdom i linked to from my modest fledgling blog. i came here specifically to let u know eyed posted it, but seems house303 has beaten me, which is all good. there may be a few other things of interest to you, but u may hafta dig ;D blessings unto u & yr luv'd ones. happy i could satiate yr curiosity at least. i think its a grower.
