Malachi - Malachi (Digipack)

Progressive Rock (UK)

Original release 1971
Re-issue Picar Records 2008
Digipak-CD !

Combines the feel-good groovy instrumental organ rock of Eden Rose with the more measured introspective UK scene like Cressida or Still Life. Sounds a bit dated for 1972, more like 1969 - probably due to the ‚"carnival‚" sound of the organ, which is the dominant instrument. Flute is put to good use as well. No guitars, which is unusual for the era. Also pick up some Julian Jay Savarin in places. Yet another creative version of ‚"Eleanor Rigby‚". A good one.
