Nazca Line - Outer Space Connection 1979 (USA, Hard , Psychedelic , Progressive Rock)

Nazca Line was a late '70's progressive hard rock band from Lima, Ohio who released only one album. The liner notes say the album was recorded at St. John, Ohio's Emersonhill Studios, Emersonhill. Allegedly these "studios" comprised a barn with some basic recording equipment crammed into it. "Outer Space Connection", "M.I.B. (Men In Black)" and "Stranger" are based on space and alien topics but this is not a space rock album. Vocals are often weak. There are no outstanding tracks and very few hooks but musicianship is quite good, especially Dave Emerson and Don Smithey's twin lead guitar work. It has been said that “Stranger" copies the main guitar riff from Greg Kihn’s “Breakup Song” and Television’s “Elevation”, but not having heard these tracks, it is hard to comment. This band definitely could have done a lot better with some decent financial backing. The album was self-produced, and given the reputed recording venue and studio equipment the album is an above average progressive/psychedelic hard rock album. The volume on this disc needs to be cranked up a bit.
American rock band from (Ohio) . Named in honor of a group of giant geometric and curved on the Nazca geoglyphs in southern Peru . Only album was recorded at "Ohio's Emersonhill Studios" in 1979. Overall a very good album with two guitars soloing , something reminded a number of British hard rock groups of the early 70 's.
