Kit Watkins - Labyrinth

A tribute to the maze theme, a great music full of suprises and metamorphoses from Kit Watkins, on his album Labyrinth from 1982

Still to this day, raises the hair on my neck and arms. Kit Watkins is a Keyboard God. I’ve been obsessed with Happy The Man and most of Kit’s solo music and wrote to Kit regularly back in the Azimuth record days. Seen HTM twice in later years without Kit. It’s depressing that a band like this couldn’t have continued longer for the world to see. Beyond Amazing and most Prog bands would walk out of their live shows, literally shaken. This band really made an American statement with all the Great music we had in the Prog 70’s.

You are perfectly right, sad he is so unknown. But in a way he certainly inspired a lot of who have listened to him

In my opinion this was some of the greatest and overlooked music ever made: Kit Watkins "Labyrinth." I'm glad other people are finally posting it because that will lessen my workload of trying to spread the word by myself. It's good to see. Thank you!

[@charlesnolan7602]

Agreed! Bought in 1980...fabulous!

First presented in demo 1979 album later released as 3rd Better Late... by Happy the Man, but this version is superior; unlike "While Crome...", that track I prefer the HTM version

I'm a huge fan of "In Time," but I think this is one of Kit's finest works. Absolutely stellar.

Looks like this is going on the list lol. Love what I'm hearing. :-)

If you a fan of HTM then you're cool. I happen to be born at the ight time, around the right influences with the right sensibility and in the right city to see them Live. THANK GOODNESS FOR BLESSINGS

[@adventdude]

One of my favorite pieces of music, made even more special by my mom feeling the same way.

[@dkba52]

pure genius. Kit is.

[@FranzenPetra]

I reminder it was hard to find the vinyl of HtM in those days here in Holland. Nowadays i own all albums of HtM and most of kits solo ones. Still play them alot. Simply great, up there with the best...

[@kuujjuaq58]

Keep on playing, effortlessly! Holland's a locale i'd like to encounter, any moment now. Cheers!

Excellent Markusmala and thank you for sharing. Kit Watkins work needs much more distribution . We need more state university radio stations.

Here's what i 'saw' when I first listened to it. You are a creature diving in a dark green lake with light-blue and yellow luminous algae, and then a lime green sun begins to rise above that lake on a colorful sky. Suddenly you find yourself rising with the sun, and you realize that the sky is actually a lake of ultramarine populated with red and pink glowing fish. You continue to go up and up and you discover that the lake has many colorful layers filled with wonders.
