Mainhorse

 Mainhorse would probably be a footnote in rock history and still be residing in the section of record collectors shops were it not for the inclusion of Swiss Keyboard player Patrick Moraz. 

Mainhorse signed originally to Polydor Records in 1970 and

released their self-titled debut in 1971. The album whilst

showing immense promise enjoyed only limited success

commercially and the band disbanded shortly after the

album failed to catapult the band to worldwide stardom.

Along with Patrick Moraz the other musician of note was

Bryson Graham who would go on to play with Gary Wright

in Wonderwheel and then join Wright in a re formed Spooky

Tooth in 1972.

The Mainhorse album is an unabashed progressive rock

album and over the years has built up a sizeable fan base

although its scarcity ensures that the price it commands

puts it beyond the casual listener. Tracks featured are Pale

Sky, Passing Years and the extended God which is

considered a highlight of the album and a good showcase

for the style that Patrick Moraz would go on to popularise

in Refugee, Yes and his solo work.

The album has never been commercially available on CD

making this release its debut in that format. Strong demand

in the collectors market will ensure sales for this release

allied with demand from the large and dedicated Patrick

Moraz fan base and fans of progressive rock for which the

album has long been a cherished release. The album has

been re mastered personally by Patrick Moraz for this

release.
