Phylter was a band from the northern part of Belgium, who’s selftitled debut album was recorded in a small studio in Brugge and released in 1978. It was a concept album that told the story about sailors who’s vessel hided in a deep-sea cave for the storm.
The entrance (can be seen on the beautiful cover artwork) soon closed down by blocks so they had to go down and climb from cavern to cavern, until finally they stepped in a new world who was hidden under the sea. This story did correspond quite good with the monumental symphonic rock (Camel, Yes, Pink Floyd) Phylter was playing.
The album is mainly instrumental and the vocals in very good English are simply delightful but their highest point is Patrick Phillippe, an incredible keyboardist from who there's also rare info.The album has all the ingredients that would make it desirable for any Prog collection, strong and dramatic changes and beautiful melodies, specially in the closer, the excellent 15 minutes epic "Down and Mood for Change".
For their first and only self titled release in1978 and upgraded to CD the year 1993 by the French Spalax label they counted with Jean-Marie Aerts playing rhythm Guitar ad guest.
