There are several bands called Chimera:
1) Chimera are a contemporary pop/rock/alternative band from Žilina, Slovakia. The band was founded in 2004 and since released a self-titled EP in 2006. Its first album “Paralelné svety” was released in late 2009 on the EMI / Monitor label.
2) Chimera are a band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Formed in 1990 the Band revolved around the extraordinary voice of Eileen Henry. Sounding like a cross between Cocteau Twins and Cranberries this band should have gone on to be as big as either of these bands. Other band members included Steven Emerson on bass, Willie Vincent on drums, and Ted Laverty on guitars. The album “Lughnasa” (the Celtic God of Harvests) was released in 1993 and had two spin off singles - “Ellis Bleeds” and “Cyan Daze”.
The band supported many stalwarts of the alternative scene at the time including My Bloody Valentine, Pixies and Throwing Muses. Had the band signed to 4ad, things might have been very different. The band released a 2nd album “Earth Loop”, which had a lighter sound than “Lughnasa”, and Eileens vocals slightly more reined in.
3) The oldest is a UK Acid Folk/Baroque Psychedelia group which recorded a self-titled album in 1969-70.
“Legendary lost masterpiece of late 60s acid folk/baroque psychedelia, the unreleased 1969 album by Chimera – featuring future Fleetwood Mac guitarist Bob Weston – was partly produced by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason who, like Rick Wright, makes a cameo appearance.

<Oh> these tags are so painfully screwed up, it just makes me want to kick them until they're just a useless jumble of letters. Ouch! (And Irish Chimera wins, as it happens.)

After reading the other comments in the shoutbox, I feel the need to step up to (the Irish) Chimera's defense. Chimera isn't an original name no matter WHICH band used it first; it is derived from mythology. That said, I first heard Night Song and Catch Me on an obscure sampler back in the 90s, and found a copy of Earth Loop shortly after. I still listen often, and love every track!

Hey I don't care about the Irish band that are so creative they can't even find an original name...Sorry this is total crap and It should not be confused with the original 70s Psych-Folk Chimera whose album with the same title is awsome!

The original Chimera, and the one with most tracks here, were a late 60s/early 70s Folk-Rock group.

I bought Earth Loop at a used music store, thinking it was from Chimaira. I was horribly, horribly disappointed. I actually went back to the record store to get my $7 back. Lesson. Learned.
