#81 - The Beyond


The Beyond was a little-known band from England, whose debut album from 1991 was loaded with energy and quirky, jazzy riffs and feels and is one of the most unique (but not in a weird way) and enjoyable albums I know.  They're really a wide-ranging band, with elements of prog, jazz, funk and alternative metal all fused into a sound that, while somewhat unorthodox, never sounds forced, fake or stilted.  Below is the opening track from the opening album, which is representative of the album as a whole.  Give it a listen for a taste of one of the highest ability-to-fame ratio-ed bands around.
