The band's leader was Jean-Yves Labat de Rossi, better known as M Frog, the synth and keyboard maestro on Todd Rungren's early Utopia albums and coincidentally, the founder of the Ad Vitam label. Only three copies (acetates) of 69 were made, but the album's cult following lasts to this day. Often compared to the work of King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, and Gong, Baba Scholae's 69 is truly a 'lost and found again' masterpiece with music that was years ahead of its time. For a gem like this to have been buried for 43 years. <br /><br />The music found here is an excellent psychedelic / folk rock / proto-progressive album recorded in London with primarily English musicians on board, though Labat himself was French. The first track '1984-Melancolia Street' (8:40), in particular, will send fans of the progressive rock genre into a swoon, with its multiple theme and metric shifts, recalling cutting edge UK outfits such as Cressida and Web ("I Spider" era). Some excellent guitar, sax, bombard (a reed instrument primarily used in Brittany), and flute define this advanced work. Perhaps not mind-blowing on the whole, but given the 1969 date, certainly one to two full years ahead of its time. Fans of the psychedelic infused progressive genre will most definitely want to own this. It's a professional recording preserved for the ages, not some muddy demo that you have to endure to fully appreciate. For something like this to be buried for 43 years is quite extraordinary. Do not miss it!adamus67https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035959023698485029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-56739033013906275872013-06-30T23:59:33.063+03:002013-06-30T23:59:33.063+03:00Great surprise.

One of the best records in progressive rock vein. It is in the same league of quality such as King Crimson's In The Court of the Crimson King or Colosseum's Valentyne Suite or If's Second Album. True, rich and high musical quality progressive rock.<br />Excellent. Outstanding. Highly recommended!!!<br />Thanx Marios!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-45529466156044412022013-06-29T14:46:46.678+03:002013-06-29T14:46:46.678+03:00Thank You very much, Marios !!!Thank You very much, Marios !!!soroganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15346683121484416905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-77613652495418919322013-06-29T14:13:50.663+03:002013-06-29T14:13:50.663+03:00Thank Marios.
