Vocalist Carmen Maki was once called the 'Japanese Janis Joplin', and although many people are outraged by such a comparison, in my humble opinion Janis never made such a wonderful (as a whole) album as Carmen did with the heavy rock group Blues Creation (in 1971)! In any case, in 1974 the vocalist founded the group Oz, and her debut (sung in Japanese) album came out in January 1975 - dominated by long, extended, heavyish progressive tracks with keyboards (mainly a combination of Hammond organ and piano), modelled on the sound of Deep Purple and Blues Creation, but not free of moods à la Pink Floyd or Barclay James Harvest. Lovers of classic playing will certainly be very pleased with this record, and Carmen Maki herself sang superbly! The CD was mastered from the original vinyl and sounds superb! Very highly recommended!
