The Invisible City Of Kartesh
"Seelie Court unearths The Invisible City of Kartesh, the 1969 lost-album sessions by Portsmouth’s Heaven, the earliest known work by a band later famed for their CBS album Brass Rock 1 (1971). Long before their shift toward jazz-inflected rock, Heaven were immersed in the crosscurrents of late-60s psychedelia, blending their beat and soul foundations with the heady atmospheres drifting in from the American West Coast. Think Spirit, Moby Grape, Love, and other groups whose sounds inspired the burgeoning British underground.
Â
Heaven’s music sits comfortably alongside those influences, yet remains unmistakably British, viewed through a distinctly English lens. Lovingly restored from the original sources, these long-lost recordings offer a rare glimpse into one of the most imaginative moments in British psychedelic history."
