PROG/ JAZZ ROCK - DIABOLUS - Same - 1972

Pérola formada no começo dos anos 1970 em Oxford, na Inglaterra. O grupo lançou apenas um álbum na Alemanha, pela Bellaphon, em 1972.
O disco Diabolus traz um rock progressivo misturado com jazz rock, com muita improvisações. Destaque para a bateria e algumas boas passagens de flauta e saxofone. O som lembra bandas como Gentle Giant e Jethro Tull.
Pérola muito boa, recomendado!!!

Music runs from folk tunes to excessive instrumentation, including flute, sax and chorus sang by three of the members of the band, passing through jazz-fusion and complex time composing. GENTLE GIANT's choruses run similarly to DIABOLUS'; flute sound takes them close to JETHRO TULL. Sax prefigures later PINK FLOYD sound, but while in PF sax is "invited" in DIABOLUS it comes as part of the whole. Some of the tunes approach electric jazz through the use of broken times and an open drumming, with moments of total free improvisation.
