Sixty Nine-Circle Of The Crayfish-'72 German Prog Rock,Hard Rock-NEW LP
Sixty Nine – Circle Of The Crayfish
Label:
Long Hair – LHC198, Long Hair – LHC00198
On their sole studio album "Circle Of The Crayfish" Sixty Nine played a mixture of symphonic, organ-driven Progressiv- and Krautrock dominated by Armin Stöwes keyboards, supported by Roland Schupps powerful and technical drumming. First title "Ballast" is a dynamic instrumental rocker with incredible heavy organ playing and steady drumming. "Kolibri" is more in E.L.P. and Brian Auger vein with alternating jazzy and classical-inspired themes.
Good organ und piano through out along with impressive drumming. "Becoming Older" is the first track with vocals. Actually the vocals are supported by melodic organ-driven rock, soon to be replaced by hard jamming parts, very closed to Frumpy but also reminding Atomic Rooster or Beggars Opera. "Journey" is very similar, a cross between The Nice, Deep Purple and Frumpy.
The 15 minutes "Paradise Lost" opens with a long intro, featuring synths and gongs to be followed by another very long fast organ/ synths/ drums jamming with repetitive rhythms to the end. The closing "Crayfish" is dominated by the pounding organ and rocks really hard. “Circle of the Crayfish is a great album with interesting Hammond B-3-driven seventies prog rock. This release is a must have for organ fanatics along with other bands like Odin, 20 Sixty Six and Then, Amos Key and others, as well as for lovers of keyboard-and-drums-oriented duos like Hardin & York, Hansson & Karlsson or Twogether. Album comes with bandstory. Recordings are remastered. Don`t miss it!
