-- gt Obscure Canadian rock band Mantis released their eponymous debut in 1973.It brings together a rather edgy collection of pop/rock, giving it an interesting synth sound in parts making for an interesting early crossover addition.
Their one and only album was released on Sweet Plum Records.
One former member, Mark Bajona, contributed these memories about his old band: I auditioned for the band in Toronto and passed the test, I was 19 at the time.
From there I was flown out to Montreal to practice with the band before recording songs at RCA studios in Toronto, which at that time was on Mutual Street.
We also used Moe Koffman and Guido Bassa for our orchestrated parts.
Martin Swehdlow conducted the orchestra with his musical stick just like any big time conductor.
We played a few gigs in Montreal and Toronto but then broke up and I ve never seen the guys again.
I went on to do other projects but not prog.
