•Historical liner notes

Recorded by this Alberta, Canada three-piece in their own home studio in 1968 and 1969, Troyka is a superb and utterly unconventional collection of hard psych-tinged rock, with some surprising ethnic flourishes. Though it fell between the tracks on its release in 1970, it has gone on to be acclaimed as one of the better obscurities of the era, and is presented here complete with a band history.
‘Wonderful, distinctive album that follows none of the rules and is better for it... Despite being a power trio, they have surprising musical grace and dexterity... a mix of psychotic pre-punk zaniness and anti-prog instrumental creativity’
– The Acid Archives

‘Though there are elements of hard rock and psych that have made it a favourite among collectors, Troyka’s mad concoction also stirs in elements of folk, traditional Ukrainian music, Polish spoken-word bits, prog and even funk… A singular achievement in the annals of music history, that’s unlikely ever to be duplicated’
– Ugly Things
