Józef Skrzek – Around The World In Eighty Moogs (2018 / Viator)
Desde los primeros 70, revolucionando con sus teclados el rock progresivo polaco, bien con Czeslaw Niemen, bien con el trío SBB ("Search, Break-Up & Build" en inglés). Un músico completo, de influencia Mahavishnu en el portentoso trío, pero con perspectiva de Polonia. Esto es, otra cosa. Siempre a la sorpresa, con una imparable energía, realmente abrumadora. Cerca de una treintena de discos en solitario. El primero de 1979, "Pamietnik Karoliny". Todos interesantes. En este más reciente de 2018, no baja la guardia. Dos únicos temas de media hora. Álbum grabado en vivo, ojo. "South to North" (26'00) exhibe sonoridad analógica en estado de combustión nada espontánea. Su estilo al Moog tiene parecidos en sus arranques solistas con Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Gusta también de elegidos "fat sounds", llenos de calidez y fuerza emocional.

I sometimes wonder what it was like to be a music lover in the seventies. So many bands with so many records and so many of them obscure…was it as big a treat as it is today to find something incredibly rare. Blackwater Park "Dirt Box" [Spalax]
ResponderEliminarTheir lone (only one album) with 1972 this German hard rock outfit with an English vocalist,combined elements from multiple extant and budding rock subgenres to construct their complex sound: hard rock, blues-rock, jazz-rock, acid rock, prog rock, and even proto-metal.
Blackwater Park is an obscure band that emerged from the Berlin underground scene. They released their unique album "Dirt Box" in 1971, published on BASF in 1972. The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
