TWENTY SIXTY SIX AND THEN (see also: Kin Ping Meh) - TWENTY SIXTY SIX AND THEN - Reflections On The Future +4 - EU Eclipse Remastered Expanded - LISTEN - VERY RARE
price: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
FOR THE FIRST TIME ON CD AS ON THE ORIGINAL VINYL EDITION, WITH FIVE TRACKS - TWO COMPOSITIONS IN THEIR ORIGINAL VERSIONS! The previous two CD versions (Second Battle and Prog Temple) did not include the 1st and 5th tracks from the original record! Now there is the complete set + four great bonus tracks known from earlier CDs. As for the music... It is probably the best German record from the circle of heavy, progressive rock and one of the best in the history of heavy, progressive playing! Released in 1972 by German United Artists, the album is a mega-dynamic and fantastically produced combination of the style of Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Out Of Focus (without the horns) and Beggars Opera - with a strong and very thoroughbred, British vocal. Wonderful, strong sound, plenty of organ passages, sharp guitar solos, plenty of flute, lots of changes of rhythm - simply sensational! Two tracks from the original LP have been REPLACED here with alternative (perfectly performed), longer versions from another session; besides that, two bonus tracks are included - including the superb, 13-minute "Spring". This title had been released earlier in 1991 (in a paper digipak) by German Second Battle as "Reflections". Excellent sound and nice artwork! An absolute must! (JL)
