Lethe (6)

After the break up of the band Mirror (11) after only one album (1976's Daybreak) and intensive touring of Holland, three of the core members of that band - Philip de Goey (piano, oboe, flute), Kees Walravens (guitar) and Johan Saanen (bass) - formed Lethe in 1978. Lethe also featured Thuur Feyen (organ, piano, strings) and Hans Lambers (drums, percussion, xylophone, vibraphone, strings). Like Mirror, Lethe too was to be short lived. The band recorded only one self-titled album that was released in 1981. The album consists of four lengthy instrumental tracks whose sound has been compared to that of Camel. Saanen, Walravens, and Fransen has since played together in a cover band called Looking For Clues. De Goey is active in a large number of musical projects. Anton Fritz (SouthSideoftheSky)
