Blat Brut
Blat Brut
Amazing previously unreleased 1976 recordings by psychedelic progsters Blat Brut. Strongly influenced by the works of Jimi Hendrix, Traffic, John Mayall, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull, the band melted all their influences into a unique sound and delivered extended heady instrumental jams with a tight, ferocious drum and bass basis, far-out guitar pyrotechnics and psyched-out flute arrangements. This band was not only formed by its four musicians, their line-up also included two sound engineers who built their equipment and created the sound effects heard on the instruments. They where also responsible for these recordings from 1976, which are unearthed here for the first time ever. Think of a mindexpanding instrumental version of Pan & Regaliz, add some spicy bits of the early Jade Warrior's fuzz guitar, some elements from Skin Alley's first LP, or the Canterbury way of deconstructing instrumental passages, and you'll get a close idea of what these young kids were doing in their small rehearsal room in Barcelona's mid seventies. For the joy of all mindexpanding progressive jam lovers, here's a beautiful vinyl reissue with a paste-on cover and a gatefold insert moffering plenty of photos and notes by the band's flutist Anton Serra. Pressed in a very limited edition of 400 copies.
