MARS EVERYWHERE - Industrial Sabotage (1980 / Random Radar)
En un principio, Mars Everywhere fue concebido como un dúo electrónico en los finales 70, allá en Washington D. C. Y editaron una serie de cassettes, típico formato marginal perfecto para las inquietudes vanguardistas de aquel tiempo. Poco a poco, fueron sumándose músicos al proyecto, hasta llegar a los ocho miembros de su único álbum, "Industrial Sabotage". Salió en el sello Random Radar, que era algo así como la antesala a Cuneiform Records. Y, dato importante, de los ocho, seis tocaban algún teclado, a veces compartidos con otros instrumentos. Podemos comprobarlo viendo su formación: Carlos Garrazza (teclados, sintetizadores, voz), Doug Hollobaugh (teclados), Greg Yaskovitch (bajo, trompeta, sintes, autoharp), Robin Anderson (percusión, teclados), Tom Fenwick (teclados), Tom Scott (bassoon, ignoro si era el famoso Tom Scott), Earnie Falcone (guitarras) y Barney Jones (percusión, clarinete y electronics).

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.
