OUT NOW – 1970 the year prog rock broke! A Time Before This was the sole album of British cultish band Julian’s Treatment. Fronted by sci-fi author/ keyboards player Julian Jay Savarin the band became an extra-cult because of their lyrics and arrangements extravaganza. In June ’70 the label Youngblood released their first album “A Time Before This”. Based after a survivalist concept the album still stands as an original artefact of the time, still maintaining a sort of baroque feel. Leader Savarin keyboards maybe all over the place (with that sort of proto-hard church organ feel), but a virtuoso rhythm section and the vocal performance of Cathy Pruden (imagine a crossing line between Julie Driscoll and Grace Slick) give the record an embraceable feeling overall.
