Seventh Wave - Only the Beginning(From the Album Psi Fi). Formed by Kieran O'Connor and Ken Elliott after the dissolution of the British progressive band Second Hand, Seventh Wave is an early example of a synth duo, a pop configuration that was to loom large in the 1980s. They released two albums in quick succession in the mid-70s, on which they showed a certain instrumental fecundity. Elliott's tools were a veritable catalogue of 70s synth technology (ARP, clavinet, Moog, Crumar strings, Mellotron), while O'Connor showed a distinct orchestral bent in his array of perucssion instruments. While their debut struck an uneasy balance between pop-rock and prog synth, they cultivated the latter influence more successfully on their next release. Both albums have been rereleased on CD, allowing a glimpse at an interesting, if lesser known, stab at early synth rock. (minder)

Ken Elliot and Kieran O'Connor after more than30 years I'm still waiting to hear more of this beautifull music, please don't let me wait any longer
Tried to get their "Things to come" and "Psi-Fi" albums on CD., alas not easy, only Japanese imports at stonking high prices. Going to digitise the Cassette of the LP (TTC) I used to have.
See my "The spectre on the Tor" vid., to hear it. Alas, I had to shorten the track a little.
I would have made it a response here, but I'm peeved at so many rejections of other videos that I haven't bothered on this occasion.
Mike.
´ve got both albums, and this reminds me on my earlier days, when no one of my bones hurts. Thanx for posting this treasure
This track excels with it being in stereo, something they use well on both albums.
excellent stuff.
