AFFINITY was a short-lived band that released one album and one single in 1970 and then spilt up. They were a highly regarded band and looked upon with much promise as the one of the earliest inventive underground bands of the time to play progressive jazz-rock. With an effective blends of folk, jazz, soul, blues, and rudiments of modern-day psychedelia and progressive rock with lots of nice Hammond organ, it simply was not fair to put them into any one classification of music. With the powerful vocals of Linda Hoyle leading the way, it looked as though the band had quite a future ahead of them. It was not in the cards unfortunately. What they left for us was a superb achievement by any musical standards, and that includes the most important factors such as sound, production, and musicianship.
The original LP renders a gorgeous sound and highlights Ms. Hoyles' excellent vocals.
Formed from the ashes of forgotten sixties act Ice, the quintet was fronted by the powerful and ranging vocals of Linda Hoyle, who runs the gamut between from heavy rock (“Three Sisters”) to the smooth 'n' cool lounge grooves of “Cocoanut Grove” to an early version of a peppy girl-band sounding “Eli's Coming”. Her voice suits the music very well throughout, although the one place it is nearly absent she isn’t necessarily missed; on the clearly improvised cover of “All Along the Watchtower” -- the albums real surprise, it runs for over 11 minutes and it stands as one of the very best versions out there, and that includes Jimi HENDRIX's classic version.
This is very progressive music for its day; in fact, logic dictates that it was more than likely considered a little on the extreme side in 1970.
