Some consider this album from the ethno-jazz-group Embryo as an early masterpiece. Why not, after playing with Mal Waldron on Steig Aus and Rocksession Christian Burchard found a competitive working partner in Charlie Mariano who graces this album, released as their first on the german BASF label with his remarkable soprano and alto sax playing.
Their free-flow rock-jazz improvisations are equivalent to any international fusion group you may try to compare but they were absolutely freaking out on eastern and ambient sounds here.
A great record anyway and if you are interested in more session recordings engineered by legendary Dieter Dirks you should get the CD version released by Disconforme.
They were restless and acoustically striking up to international fusion bands in 1972.
As Miles Davis said here: "That german hippy group (Embryo) where Mal (Waldron) used to play; They are doing interesting things. You know, man? They are creative, good musicians, just playing good shit".
This is it.
