ALBUM REVIEW
1st album by British Prog / Jazz-Rock band Marsupilami, one of the best kept secrets of the burgeoning local scene form the late 1960s / early 1970s. The band was a sextet, which played only original, highly complex music strongly Jazz influenced. All the musicians were excellent instrumentalists and the long instrumental passages are all very interesting. A female flute player, who also sang backing vocals, completed the bill, which adds another interesting layer to the music. Altogether it is pretty amazing that this group is almost completely unknown, even by the hard-core Prog fans, as this stunning debut album is as good as any of the debuts released at the time by groups that turned into legends. After being lost for so many years, now the new generation of Prog fans is able to rediscover and enjoy this band, as it surely deserves a much wider recognition. (Jazzis - Rate Your Music)
