This very rare 1973 private press hard rock record in that Primevil, Magi, Wedge vein but even more primitive and down and dirty with filthy acid guitar like you love.

Euphoria formed Wiscons round 1973, showed amazing songwriting talent plus musical ability Classic midwest American heavy psych with somewhat biker vibe Raging agressive Fuzz-guitar leads with great echoey-reverb effects ,true sledgehammer bass ,crunching drums ,very melodic tunefull vocals. A Must for all 70 s heavy psych enthusiasts.

This is a heavy rock album with lots of fine guitar work, particularly on the title track, Lost In Trance, the most psychedelic cut, and Enchanted. All the songs on the album were written by lead guitarist D. Walloch.

This one is a very good heavy rock record from 1973. It was originally a private pressing and nowadays it's a rare collector's item. The musical style on this album is guitar driven hard rock with clear psychedelic influences.

The album is a damn consistent totality because the obvious stand out tracks are missing. All of the songs are highly enjoyable here. The only thing I could criticize is the vocalist who could be better. Also the album cover is pretty unoriginal and lame.

But all in all this only LP by Euphoria does it's job very well and I like it quite much. If you're into heavy psych you should give this one a try. It's worth it.
