Jayar's Foreign Soil from 1980






Here's a highly in demand rare release from the US, by artist Jayar, called Foreign Soil.  On the back the following blurb:

"The heavens call to you and circle around you, displaying to you their eternal splendors, and your eye gazes only to earth."

--Dante

The style is squarely in the late seventies American style of AOR, think Styx around their "Come Sail Away / Suite Madame Blue" period but a little less nuanced and/or bombastic (can something be both of those at the same time?).

One Turn Left is the only progressive instrumental, not written by Jayar:






Unfortunately as such it's not representative of the remainder here.
