                               Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
«Arcadium were a late 60's psychedelic band fronted by songwriter, 
12-string guitarist and lead vocalist Miguel Sergides.Sergides was joined 
by Graham Best on bass and vocals, Allan Ellwood on organ and vocals,John
Albert Parker on drums and Robert Ellwood on lead guitar and vocals. Like
many, they played the clubs until a small label by the name of Middle 
Earth - who released a whopping total of five albums - finally approached
them. In 1969, "Breathe Awhile" was issued on an LP, the only album the 
band ever recorded. It has lately been reissued in cd format by German 
label Akarma.»

«Arcadium's ominous, cathedral-like organ, distorted guitar and anguished
vocals are clearly derivative of bands such as the Doors, Iron Butterfly
and Vanilla Fudge - very much in the 'downer-heavy' school of the genre 
that was popular at the time. Their album is something of a bad-trip 
soundtrack that relies on minor-key melodies, ghostly harmonies and 
anguished vocals. What with all its flaws - bad production, sloppy vocals
and doomesday atmospherics - its historical significance is immense. The
music's intensity and sense of urgency, the blazing acid-drenched guitars
, the tortured vocals and heavy nightmarish sounds all perfectly convey 
the late 60's atmosphere.Fans of heavy psychedelia in search of a genuine
dose of 60's nostalgia will love this band.»
