The hidden masterpiece that could rewrite Australian Progressive Rock history Aragon's "The Suite."
In 1975, a strange album that pressed only 50 copies without even an outer sleeve was released quietly. It was the only album by Snakes Alive, a band with a unique combination of guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, woodwinds and trumpet.
