Vinyl-Reissue of
German/English/Dutch formation ODIN. Their one and only album on famous German
label Vertigo, originally released in 1972, is a truly gem of the golden age of
Progressive Rock. Four excellent musicians show their great talent, especially
organ player Jeff Beer and guitarist Rob Terstall, driven by great rhythm
section Ray Brown on bass and drummer Stuart Fordham. The album’s highlight is
opening track “Life is only”. This is an absolutely great 12-minutes number with
raging, dissonant Hammond B-3 work, refined song constructions and very good
guitar and vocal work. Another highlight is a 8-minutes version of Quartermass
classic “Gemini” with features also a long and impressive B-3 organ solo.
“Clown” closes the original album out with some heavy instrumental firepower
from Jeff Beer keyboards and strong vocals. LP comes with a reproduction of
original poster (60x60) and a comprehensive insert including personal liner
notes by Ray Brown, press reviews and many rare photos. The special remastering
from a digital copy of original tape guarantees a brilliant sounding. Hot stuff
and highly recommended. Don`t miss this limited
edition! (Long Hair)
