Described by We Are Busy Bodies label head Eric Warner as a "found recording" more than a reissue, Stefan Gnys "Horizoning" is another absolute gem of previously unknown music (coming only a week after the post of Penny Carson Nichols).
Gnys (pronounced G’neesh) was a Hamilton, Ontario musician who recorded this album in April 1969 with his good friend David Van Duzen. He ordered 12 acetate copies of the full album (these recordings are taken directly from the acetate versions), and 300 7"s were made of Horizoning/Evangeline. That's it - Gnys went to unversity, got married and had a family.
Warner met Gnys daughter about 14 years ago, and now we finally get this album. The cover looks like some hokey recreation of either Bonanza or Big Valley. But the music has more in common with both The Moody Blues (Justin Hayward's vocals) and Love (think of both Arthur Lee and Bryan MacLean).
