A desert island LP for some guys I know and a splendid time for just about everyone else, this emotional LA folkrock/psych/r'n'b blowout rips throughout with ten strong tracks. Heavy macho postures mix with transcendental folk-psych and you can tell by the sleeve photo this guy already was a star in his own head. Unfortunately few agreed back then. Uncredited backing by session pros also in label-mates Goldenrod. The unreleased material that appeared in 2002 ("Darius II", World In Sound 11) was more in a soul/nightclub direction, with a few good tracks. Some copies of the LP came with a bio insert. There was also a non-LP 45. [PL]

Darius sounds something like Tommy James with a messiah complex. These are basically pop songs, but they're great ones, and more importantly are chock full of drama and elaborate arrangements. He easily could have crossed the line to parody, but he holds it all together, and the results are powerful and compelling. A great one. [AM]
