Phish - Junta (2012) [Hi-Res]

With great sound and better playing, Phish's debut Junta is highly recommended whether you're starting to discover Phish or are backing up to the beginning. It may be a bit long-winded and unfocused, yet it establishes their dedication to musical exploration effectively - not to mention the typical wild and woolly Phish humor spilling out all over the lengthy tracks.

Phish's first studio adventure, this amazing double-album selection takes you on one wild ride and is a perfect introduction to such a talented band. It showcases their diverse influences. This album progresses smoothly back and forth between more difficult progressive and jazz fusion sections to laid back funk and rock jams. An unprecedented work at the time of its release, this cemented Phish as the centerpiece of the newly emerging jam scene, as well as bringing live improvisation to a wider audience.
