COGWHEEL - SIGHTSOUND
Guitarist Paul Vincent Gunia of Missus Beastley,Subject ESQ,Niagara, Motherhood and Hallelujah.
Great foc art hinting at Middle East-sound. So...i had high hopes for this.
Big letdown though.
No Middle East -sound.
Pedestrian compositions.
Maybe think Sky or Blonker -no, not Blonker.Wouldn't wish Blonker on anyone.
'78 private press (Hastings). This lp was never commercially released, but was put out as a promotional vehicle for a glasses company called Optyl. (One of the three figures on the front cover is sporting glasses suspended off the edge of his hat!)
First track is promising with backwards drum and what sounds like mellotron. Sort of Harmonia-ish.
Some strings on the lp. Dual electric guitars. Acoustic. Flute. Keys. Dismal, robotic drumming. 10 short and simple tracks.

BIB SET - IT WASN'T MEANT TO HAPPEN
Where have you been all of my life??
This has just been propelled to the top of my wantlist.
Good luck in snagging a copy though - its one of the three rarest Swedish 70s prog lps .
Sounds like Hansson & Karlsson (only the drummer is more interesting than Karlsson.)
'69 lp by a trio.
The name comes from one of the members: Bjorn Ingvar Bjornsson.
Mainly lazy vocals are in good English.
Insane drumming spills over churning, wailing organ mayhem.
You can hear this music is coming out of R'n'Bs. The organist does those jerky organ jabbing moves like Bo, or Spencer Davis Group.
Just a touch of guitar -not much.
Invigorating. Indispensible.
Why lick a toad's back when you can get instant high off this?
