These were one
of many obscure Swiss symphonic progressives, typical of such Teutonic
styled bands who originated in the mid to late-1970's. Derivative, yet
also quite inventive, Agamemnon had a distinctly Pink Floyd type cosmic
symphonic edge, akin to earlier albums by German bands like Eloy,
Pancake, Jane, or more so, often close to Faithful Breath's similarly
otherworldly debut album FADING BEAUTY.In keeping with the title PART I
& II, Agamemnon's sole album had just two lengthy tracks (one per
side), with vast instrumentals, and seems to be some sort of strange and
fanciful concept opus. An obscure privately issued relic, it's an album
that is worth seeking out by fans of the late-1970's indie progressive
style. Line-up / Musicians Urs Ritter/drums Erich Kuster/vocals,guitars,organ Walter Rothmund/bass,keyboards Werner Kuster/piano,keyboards,guitars,flute Discography Part I & II 1980
