The Tea Party - The Master & Margarita

Yeah, I know, another Canadian band. You may know them for their #1 hit Heaven Coming Down. That CD brought them full circle in their style and influences. Labelled as blus and progressive rock, Jeff Martin (lead singer) brought a sound to the band, heavily influenced by Indian and Middle-Eastern rhythms and sounds. Still, they had their roots in 70's rock such as Led Zeppelin. This is most evident in the album Interzone Mantras. This album was released to mixed reviews. The international sound was more subdued than in earlier recordings, but the music was much more mature. The Led Zeppelin influence is quite evident in the song The Master & Margarita which is quite reminiscent of the song Achille's Last Stand from the Presence album.
