Jenghiz Khan – Well Cut (1971 / Barclay)
El estallido mundial de fenómenos músico-sociales como Deep Purple o Uriah Heep dieron pie para que cada país tuviera su propio reflejo autóctono. Aquí claramente tuvimos (y tenemos!) a los sevillanos The Storm . En Bélgica, Irish Coffee o los que hoy traemos, Jenghiz Khan. Ambas formaciones con un único álbum de 1971. De espectacular y comiquera portada, el álbum de Jenghiz Khan, al igual que sus directos inspiradores, basculaba entre el hard rock y el prog del momento. Y ha pasado la barrera del tiempo tan alegremente, que hoy existen bandas recién creadas con un estilo muy similar. Basement Saints, sin ir más lejos.

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.
