    East of Eden - Snafu (1970) (New Rip) 24-bit/96kHz

    This music is probably the great-grand-daddy of today's avant garde progressive music. It is an eclectic blend of psychedelia, jazz, blues, folk, celtic, eastern, and various forms of world music. Instruments include bass, flute, tenor and alto sax, trumpet, drums and guitar. Keyboards are largely dispensed with in favour of Dave Arbus's electric violin which provides plenty of texture and background, as well as taking the lead in many passages. There are long sections driven by a jazzy bass guitar playing with almost loop-like repetition, while solo spots are taken in turn by guitar, violin, flute and sax, vocals are sparse.

    With song titles like "Xhorkom","In the Snow for a Blow", "Nymphenburger" and "Leaping Beauties for Rudy", you can imagine that this is an off-the-wall piece that isn't meant to be taken too seriously. It's fun, it displays some stellar musicianship, and it's adventurous. This was released in 1970 when experimentation was peaking - and this LP was at the forefront of that movement. The 1970s listening public was more receptive to this kind of music and SNAFU made the British Top-30, "Ramadhan," made number 2 in France, and the Celtic novelty song "Jig-a-Jig" hit the Top-10 in England. Despite that brief success though, East Of Eden remained something of a cult act, and - like all avant garde music, it never really took off in even the progressive music circles. rockasteria.blogspot
