Troyka on CD

Digitally remastered edition includes one bonus track. One could say that Troykas self-titled 1970 Cotillion album came out of left field, but that wouldn't t quite do it justice. It really belongs on it's own planet. Though there are strong elements of Hard Rock and Psych that have made it a favorite among collectors, Troykas mad concoction also stirs in elements of Folk, traditional Ukrainian music, Polish spoken-word bits, Prog and even Funk. And in spite of the musical aptitude required to achieve such diversification, the Edmonton, Alberta trio manages to do it all with a sense of humor - including a few double-entendres underscored by horny gruff vocals. It is, quite simply, a singular achievement in the annals of music history that's unlikely to ever be remotely imitated, let alone duplicated. After a number of shoddy bootlegs, this first-ever legitimate reissue offers remastered sound from the original tapes and detailed liners by Doug Sheppard of Ugly Things magazine, plus pictures and a bonus track supplied by the band. A cult classic extraordinaire, yours from Real Gone Music!
