The debut album from this band from Romania.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, organ and vocals.
This is the only album this now disbanded band has released. It is also a concept album about probably the most famous man from Romania ever..... Dracula. He lived in the Transylvania province of Romania and has been the subject of fascination for the last one hundred year.
This album is three quarters of an hour long.
First of all, the music sounds like it was written and recorded in the late 1960s/early 1970s. The music has the feel of a proto-psych rock album, one of the early psych rock albums in the scene.
The music is indeed eclectic psych rock with some folk rock influences. The music is really, really weird with female and male vocals and narrations in their local language. Hence, is is not possible to follow the Dracula story on this album. It is a story everybody knows so that is not a problem.
This is one of the weirder, most bizzarre albums I have reviewed in this blog during the twelve last years.
The music is working though and this is indeed a decent album. It scores pretty high on originality too. Check out this album.
