Our Take

BYZANTIUM's "Halfway Dreaming - Anthology 1969-75" is a whimsical journey through the experimental minds of this oft-overlooked band. With a sound that defies categorisation, BYZANTIUM effortlessly weaves together elements of psychedelic rock, prog, and folk to create a truly unique listening experience.

The album kicks off with the infectious grooves of "Flower To Flame," setting the tone for what's to come. Swirling guitars, ethereal vocals, and unexpected tempo changes keep the listener on their toes, never quite sure where the next track will take them.

Tracks like "Something You Said" showcase the band's ability to blend catchy melodies with complex arrangements, while "Into the Country" transports you to a pastoral paradise filled with shimmering harmonies and dreamy instrumentation.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Halfway Dreaming." Tracks like "It's All taken Care Of" delve into darker, more introspective territory, with haunting lyrics that linger long after the music fades.

Overall, "Halfway Dreaming - Anthology 1969-75" is a must-listen for fans of experimental music looking to expand their horizons. BYZANTIUM may not be a household name, but this anthology proves that their innovative sound deserves to be celebrated. So sit back, relax, and let BYZANTIUM take you on a musical journey like no other.
