Namaz for Software Germany from 1980. Bass - Alfred Henning Drums - Ralph D. Dietze Guitar - Werner Goos Keyboards - Joachim Essig Percussion - Ralf Moufang Vocals - Rachel Gould Does what it says on the tin - 300mph latin bangers spliced up with a few funky cuts and one stinker.Big at the Electric Ballroom for Mr.Murphy back in the day where we threw ourselves around to "Mystic Latin" to the utter disdain of the decent dancers.Amazing the mess you could get yourself into at that shithole with the watered down lager,smuggled in vodka and a few spliffs. If you think you recognise some of this a couple of tunes were comped on Glucklich 1 & 2 years ago. Another wallet basher if you fancy a copy - check out the eye watering prices at popsike.com. All killer no filler not quite!

Here's a review lifted from a thread on Japanese progressive rock over at ProgArchives.com put together by DamoX(Jap.Psych Specialist) which really captures the essence of the album: A borderless creation by borderless musicians. One of the matchlessly eccentric sound kaleidoscopes - even in Japan every

Jorge Lopez Ruiz for Chango Argentina from 1980. LEW SOLOFF (trp), FRED LIPSIUS (sax), JEREMY STEIG (fl), EDDIE GOMEZ (bass), ANTHONY JACKSON (el.bass), RAY BARRETO (congas), JORGE DALTO (p), "POCHO" LAPOUBLE (dr), JORGE LOPEZ RUIZ (bass) Another first in blogland from OIR with this quality slab of latin fusion from Jorge Lopez Ruiz who also arranged and produced the album.A glittering all star line up produce a somewhat understated set of tunes three of which are penned by Ruiz and one each by Franzetti and Lapouble."El Candombe De Bolita" is a funky clavinet driven work out but overall the lp has a quietly exhilarating subtlety that provides a rich framework for the soloists. This album is a real grower so give it a few listens and your patience will be well rewarded. All Killer No Filler !
