BLUES/ PROG ROCK - WHIPPING POST - So We Are - 1980
Pérola vinda da Suíça, ativa na segunda metade dos anos 70 e começo da década seguinte. Pouco se sabe sobre a banda Whipping Post, apesar deste ter lançado três álbuns entre 1978 e 80, todos pela Musk Project. O líder C.B. Busser teve alguns LPs solos na mesma época.
So We Are, o último disco do grupo de 1980, traz 9 faixas (maioria curtas) que fazem uma mescla "fora de época" entre blues e prog rock. O trabalho de Busser na guitarra é o grande destaque da obra, proporcionando excelentes momentos em todas as canções, o instrumental ainda traz passagens espaçadas de teclado, sax e flauta. Já o vocal é o ponto fraco, "apagado" e destoando da parte já citada, sendo todas as letras em inglês. Para as faixas, destaque em "Freedom In Me", "So We Are" e "Pioneers".
Não tão consistente, mas merece uma chance para fãs de blues e até prog rock.

Whipping Post was a band from Switzerland, active in the second half of the 70s and beginning of the next decade. Little is known about the group, despite they have released three albums between 1978 and 80, all for Musk Project. The leader C.B. Busser had some solos LPs at the same time.
"So We Are", their last album released in 1980, brings 9 tracks (most short) of blues rock with some progressive touches. Busser's guitar is the highlight of the work, providing great moments in all the songs, the instrumental passages also brings keyboard, sax and flute here and there. The vocal is the weak point, with all lyrics in English and "breaking" the good instrumental part. For the tracks, best are "Freedom In Me", "So We Are" and "Pioneers". Not so consistent, but deserves a chance to blues and even prog rock fans.

Hi Congratulations,
ResponderExcluirI like this sound with fiery mellotron and great guitar. The melody and the singer go perfectly with !
When you' ll find Rhea also from Switzerland and also from 1980, you'll have making a killer work !
Switzerland in this era (late's 70 and beginning of eighties) had fantastic bands (Circus, Dragonfly, Flame Dream, Welcome, Blue motion, Elysium, Sicher, Waterfall, etc etc...)
Thank you very much and see you soon.
Hello, I'm looking for "Rhea", but it's a really rare album. Thanks for the comment!
