Axiom

Quite simply, Axiom was an Australian supergroup whose time was far too short-lived, due to a number of personal circumstances and career mishaps. The band was fronted by future Little River Band lead singer Glenn Shorrock, whose early roots and development of a distinctive vocal style are prominently on display here in full throttle, along with a band whose sound could easily appeal to fans of Traffic, Blind Faith, and the Faces. Much of this stuff has remained out of print or hard to find since the advent of the compact disc, so Raven had the good sense to compile nearly their entire released legacy onto one disc. Their debut album, Fool's Gold, the follow-up, If Only, and a scattering of B-sides provide not only a thorough and definitive look at a band whose fame never fully came to fruition, but an excellent resource for fans of this style to discover yet another one of Australia's long-lost rock gems. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
