EXPERIENCE - Experience - EU Magic Potion Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RARE

Released in 1971 by French Vogue on a double vinyl, the only album by the enigmatic band Experience (at the time that was a 'skeleton key' word), reportedly formed by musicians of the progressive groups Martin Circus and Triangle. The record was filled with 76 minutes of early-progressive playing (with strong influences of psychedelia, but also heavy rock and a pinch of jazz) based on the interplay of dominant Hammond organ and electric guitar, a juicy rhythm section and flute and saxophone parts. The whole was modelled on the work of Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, Procol Harum and Jimi Hendrix and sounded more like British rock of 1969-1970, but inevitably France was a little behind... The whole is great to listen to (even despite the weak vocals in Gimmie Some Lovin') and I recommend especially the last part of the record, where the band presented an instrumental cover of 'Let There Be More Light' by Pink Floyd (from their LP A Saucerful Of Secrets'), strangely titled here 'Let's Be More Light' and supposedly composed by... Nick Mason! Roger Waters would not be happy! A MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL)
