South African progressive rock group formed in Durban in 1968.
Founded by young brother and sister team of Ron and Dawn Selby who previously played alongside bassist Mike Sauer in a Durban band named It's a Secret. The arrival of Maurice Saul, a guitarist who had lived in what was then Rhodesia (later Zimbabwe) before moving to South Africa, and Robbie Pavid, a drummer who doubled as the percussionist for Abstract Truth, another Durban-based progressive outfit, saw the band morph into Third Eye. Their music is a blend of progressive and psychedelia which can refer to the music of a band like The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown (on the 3rd and final album they covered "Fire"). One of the top acts of South African rock ever.
