Steve Linnegar
was an accomplished songwriter, musician, painter and martial arts disciple. A legendary figure from the South African '60s-'70s underground music scene, the "hippie king of Cape Town" formed the
Snakeshed
band in the '70s along with top guitar-player
Martin Kopelowitz
and keyboardist/producer
Peter Hubner
. Refusing offers from some record labels who insisted they should go "commercial," they decided to record and release their first album,
Classic Epics
, all by themselves. Released in 1982 on their own private label, this record is one of the South African prog/psych crown jewels. Features layers of acoustic/electric guitars,
Gilmour
-alike guitar solos, ultra-melodic vocals, effects, and cool Tao-inspired lyrics. Culminates in the haunting 14-minute long "Desert." Remastered from the original tapes for the first time. Includes an insert with rare photos and liner notes by
Aaron Milenski
(
Acid Archives
).
