Another short-lived American Prog band, Infinity was founded in 1977 by Pianist George Gregory, and guitarist Lance Swing. Apparently they had a lot of friends, as the bands album lineup has one of the largest rosters I have ever seen.

With five of them contributing to vocals. They recorded several tracks during the initial years, but disbanded before making a proper release. As is the story with many bands, interest in their music resurfaced in the '90s. This led to a reunion, and compiling recorded material. The result was the self-titled 1996 release.

The usual comparisons are to Gentle Giant and Starcastle (which then leads to Yes), and a hint of Canterbury. However, they have the distinction of being praised in their own right. The album itself may seem disjointed, due to it being a melding of '70s and '90s tracks.

The compositions do stand up individually, with strong instrumentals, and themes running from mysticism, to outer space, and contemporary issues.
