Bad Heads And Bad Cats is the 1976 album by Embryo, who receives some help from American saxophonist Charlie Mariano. This is taken from a CD pressing released in 1999 on Disconforme SL and features a bonus track not on the original album.
'Bad Heads and Bad Cats' marks Embryo's first release on April Records, an independent label which the group founded along with members of Missus Beastly, Checkpoint Charlie, Ton Steine Scherben, and Sparifankal. The label was started with the intent of allowing the individual bands to record creative music independently and without the constant interference of a major record company. The music here, while staying somewhat true to the groups avant garde nature, is a combination of funky jazz rock and ethnic influences. Embryo was now led by the duo of Burchard and Bunka, resulting in longtime member Edgar Hoffman's demotion to guest. 'Bad Heads' leads off with 'Layed Back', an average jazz rocker with a funky beat. Things pick up with 'Nina Kupenda', a 12-minute excursion into funky jazz tainted with ethnic percussion containing numerous solo sections. Following this is 'Bad Heads', an off the wall jazz rocker with a psychedelic flair. This track features some unique guitar work, a great ethnic percussion solo and a nice vocal performance from Maria Archer. 'Road Song' returns to a light jazz rock sound comparable to 'Layed Back', however, 'Road Song' is highlighted by simultaneous guitar and keyboard solos. 'After The Rain' is a fast paced jazzy instrumental featuring solid bass playing underneath catchy piano and flute solos. This is followed by the instrumental 'Klondyke-Netti'. Driven by a moody bass and awkward minimalist electronic sounds, 'Klondyke' sounds like a predecessor to the quirky electronic instrumentals heard on Eno's 'Music For Film Vol. 1'. Finally, the album closes with the short experimental 'Tag X'. As a bonus, the CD reissue contains the 17-minute 'Human Contact', a free flowing jazz number with Eastern influenced saxophone and organ sections.
