RARE UK PSYCH/PROG ROCK ALBUM,
'MAINHORSE' BY MAINHORSE
THE BANDS ONLY UK RELEASE LP.
OVERLOOKED ON RELEASE AND LOST IN THE SHUFFLE OF TIME...
...AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC, TOP PROGRESSIVE ROCK ALBUM,
FEATURING KEYBOARD SUPREMO, PATRICK MORAZ,
FUTURE 'YES' MEMBER.
This was one of the very first bands with Patrick Moraz, the Swiss keyboard-wizard that later would join Yes, and finally The Moody Blues. The one and only album of Mainhorse is very typical, rough edged early 70's prog dominated by Hammond-organ and exceptional aggressive guitar playing. Powerful with Moraz' excellent organ-playing in front and the vocal-melodies sometimes takes some unexpected turns.
Moraz' playing is mostly rocking and almost bluesy on some passages, he also turns out some clearly classical-influenced melodies. "Pale Sky" is basically a melodic and symphonic track with a long, experimental, and amazing percussion-dominated instrumental-break in the middle.
"Basia" and the epic "God" are the most ultra-progressive tracks here,
while "Passing Years" is a nice, simple and symphonic song. "More Tea Vicar" is an atmospheric instrumental-theme with a cool early 70's atmosphere and with some excellent glockenspiel played by Moraz.
An essential Album of early 70's progressive rock.
