The former Modern Folk Quintet member and voice of Zodiac Cosmic Sounds recorded these solo albums in 1971 and 1973. Cyrus was recorded in Los Angeles with the help of the members of the jazz group Oregon, David Crosby, Cass Elliot and various sessionmen. It's mainly composed of introspective folk rock with some oriental influences and very religious lyrics (Softly Through The Darkness, New Beginnings, Kingdom). Springtime Bouquet is an electronic score composed by Alex Hassilev. Recorded in 1973, Islands is presumably in the same style.

Faryar can also be found on recordings by Fred Neil, Mama Cass and the Stone Poneys and he sung one track for the soundtrack of "Last Summer" produced by John Simon. He even produced some albums by the Firesign Theater. In the early seventies, Faryar moved to Hawaii where he produced some local groups like Country Comfort.
