"Markheim was formed in 1972 by Andreas Wyden and dissolved the same year duo to lack of money, leaving some curious demo tapes behind. These guys lived in Paradiso, in the canton of Ticino, the Italian speaking part of Switzerland. Andreas Wyden and drummer Enzo Geninazza are Swiss, but little information can be found about pianist Phillip Reeves and guitarist Trevor Thoms. The band traveled to Venice during the summer of '72 in order to record their freshly composed songs. The demo tapes were later on remastered by the poet from Lugano, Dubravko Pusek, who also financed the whole project. The music itself is a mix of crazy progressive, folk, and psych rock. Some tracks are rather experimental as well with a progressive touch. Overall it's a very well-produced studio recording. Ten demos of a hidden treasure from Switzerland, released in 1991 on a private label in for the first "ever" in a tiny edition of 200 LPs. A good friend of the label described the special atmosphere on this album as: "rustic, back porch strumming with precious stones humming and a mind for the instant chopping of original wood".
