Finding a copy of "Childhood's End" is so rare and it's artist so elusive that it has achieved near-mythical status in the recent world of record collecting. Little is documented about Phil Sawyer, and this is believed to be his only album, but it's scarcity combined with the artist's mysterious and enigmatic nature, makes this record feel almost like a legend. Sawyer put his heart and soul into every note of this record, and his influences and inspirations are displayed with pride. The range and depth here is reminiscent of artists including Procol Harum, The Moody Blues, Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, The Grateful Dead, Graham Nash, and Gary Higgins, with each track sprinkled with his unique and alluring Tasmanian touch.
