Surely one of the greatest bands to come from Australia! Mario Millo has got to be one of the most under-rated guitarists around. He out-Akkers Jan any day of the week! Windchase were also fantastic.
Awesome, I have had this song in my head for over 20 years and have whistled it to my son whilst getting him to sleep. He is 22 months and loves Moody Blues and Sebastian Hardy although he has never HEARD my sister's RECORD hehehe.... Glad I found it, gonna go look at Oop Oop A Doo (Aztecs) now..... Cheers to ALL the 45 to 55 year olds, our pasts ROCK!
Fell in love with these guys after seeing them in black and white on GTK on the ABC. Four Moments remains one of my fav and most played albums. Still also have Windchase and Symphinity (their first album under the name Windchase). Saw them live a few times in Melbourne including a great set at Dallas Brooks Hall. Under-rated and and barely remembered these days
Toivo Pilt on keyboard was from Picton and his first band was Witches Chant .Back in those days I had the pleasure of helping him carry his heavy Lesley Speaker Box from the back of his Ute and onto the stage at Camden High dances .
Mario is the most underrated Musicians in Australia best Bands I've ever heard Live absolutely Brilliant and Sebastian Hardie one of the Best Bands I've ever heard Live
Great stuff.....I have long admired Mario's excellent approach to the melody line. Saw the band support Carlos Santana at Sydney's Hordern Pavillion (eons ago) & they were magnificent.
Wow! I remember this from when I was 15 - such a beautiful piece of music - haven’t heard this in over 40 years & remember this like it was yesterday - thanks for posting this! 😁❤
Hitched out to Belconnen in the rain one Sunday afternoon to see them play back in the day, and they were sensational. I particularly love this and 'Openings'.
God I used to have this album and used to go and see them all the time when I was 14/15 used to be Jon English's backing band .. where this record went to I have no idea but I want it back..
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this! Their name kept slipping from my memory, but the music remained. So sad we know names like Mark Knopfler or Moody Blues, but not these. (And how about the gorgeous album graphics, picture and writing!) Great work.
I been searching for this for ages. I managed to remember his name but not the band. I saw them as a support act for Santana in Sydney in the late 70's. I always liked that thing he does with the volume knob on the guitar
Fabulous - this brings back so many memories when I was a teenager watching Countdown! Do you also have the video for "Glad To Be Alive" by Windchase? I loved that song & cannot find it anywhere on line - Mario has to be one of the greatest guitarists in the country!
saw them in Melbourne a couple of years ago, supporting Yes with Rick Wakeman. Extraordinary arrogance from the English guests - their Roadie pulled the plug during Rosanna, believing SH had gone overtime by a few minutes, leaving the audience stunned and ready to boo the main act.
kama, bad interference in steve Howe;s guitar, Roadie on stage mid song and couldn;t fix. we heckled the pr#ck. Got home, googled SH, emailed to get it out of my system. Next day got a lengthy nice reply from Mario! Still can;t believe it. After show Yes told them they were unaware of the unplugging. Time started at lights down not start of song as they thought. Disagreement on length of set. Mario could have done acoustic of "six ribbons" and brought Jon English up from the audience to sing.
@joeninetyjoe mario might not be a household name ,but heis highly by his peers and i think that would be more important to him,the man is a true genius.
Beautiful track, never heard of this band before! To me it sounds like an Australian Focus!
Oh, My God! I still remember the first time I heard "Four Moments" when I was a teenager... Killer music by the best Australian prog rock act ever.
Surely one of the greatest bands to come from Australia! Mario Millo has got to be one of the most under-rated guitarists around. He out-Akkers Jan any day of the week! Windchase were also fantastic.
Greatest Australian Band they blew Focus away in Melbourne many years ago prog Rock at its best
i loved those albums!!

This is my most haunting band...Four Moments album, Windchase...always haunting!!. Very under rated musicians and composer Mario Millo!!
Absolutely!
magnificent...why wasn't this an international hit. There really is no justice...

He wasn't really into mainstream commercial but wrote and performed some the most beautiful music ever written in Australia
...some the most beautiful music ever written in the world.

Oh man. That was soo beautiful. Brought back lots of memories. Thanks for posting, all those years ago 🙂.
Brilliant piece of music!
Just awesome to find once again.
i love it. no words to say- awesome
Hitched out to Belconnen in the rain one Sunday afternoon to see them play back in the day, and they were sensational. I particularly love this and 'Openings'.
Memories of the early 70s when Sebastian Hardie played at our school dance, i think it was 1974.
Karl0010 I
Did the lighting for them
In 1975 at Sceggs Redlands !
Not heard thid since the 70s. Thanks heaps !!!
just picked up the cd on ebay brings it all back what a fantastic album and gr8 band
I just hear them for the first time on Spotify with Openings. What a fantastic band, never heard of. It sounds a bit like Focus and Ekseption.
Openings is brilliant.
very good.................
Fabulous.
awesome band.
They sounded great live , awsum musos !
Thanks for this. Peter Plavsic was an old mate from Uni and I haven't seen him for 40 years.
Great memory!
God I used to have this album and used to go and see them all the time when I was 14/15 used to be Jon English's backing band .. where this record went to I have no idea but I want it back..
BRILLIANT BAND ... Just Brilliant!

Muy buien!!

i think the cd you are talking about is deja vue its online here and in the shops i think
Absolutely loved this album (still have it) played it until I almost wore it out
at times I thought, it's Focus !!!
Not sad, melancholy. Heavily influenced by Dutch supergroup Focus.
They backed up Focus in Sydney circa 1974. Sebastian Hardy was by far the better band.
Millo's Gibson L-5(?)....smooth as honey!
The RX looks alright...
Any idea whether I can get in touch with Peter P? I lost track of him after uni...
Who is on Bass?
Sad, Sad, Sad song... :-/(

At the time I thought it was boring. These days I know it's well played, well recorded and still pretty boring.
Sounds very Dutch, whatever that is.
Good song but the video does not match up.
Thank you.
too bad the music is out of sync on this, one of my most favourite Instrumental songs ever
Never forget that rhythm section Alex and Pep they created that sound and of course Toivo on Keyboards and Steve Dunne who wrote half of the material
