Amos Key is another one of those obscure, one-album gems. It is keyboard, bass, and drum, with emphasis on keyboards. There is some sparsely used guitar, but you’ll have to listen closely to find it. The obvious influences are Deep Purple (they even do a little homage in the middle of “Got the Feeling”) and especially Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Where ELP would lighten the mood with an occasional novelty song, this band is able to maintain a bit of lightheartedness throughout. This is not to say it isn’t serious music.
