:::Guitar #5:::

Top jazz rock ensemble with one of Germany's leading guitarists (Toto Blanke) and great jazz musicians in the band (Charlie Mariano, Joachim Kühn and others). The only drawback: it lacks originality. This could be a John McLaughlin & Mahavishnu Orchestra record.

Amazingly excellent heavy fusion or instrumental hard rock. Charlie Mariano is underutilized.  Great grooving playing from Blanke, John Lee on bass, Joachim Kühn on keys and Gerry Brown on drums. Very heavy.

Elegant prog fusion laced with latin touches. Recommended.

    Thanks for sharing this fairly rare album. IMOO, Toto Blanke was (and probably still is) a gifted guitar player but not in the same league as Volker Kriegel or Philip Catherine.

    Thank you so much for this excellent album.
    I have got it at a lower bitrate.
    There are some mistakes in the titles.
    Toto = Rocbaron 2:45
    Spider's Dance = Toto 6:22
    Prelude = Spider's Dance 4:33
    Slight Touch Of Hepatitis = Prelude 0:58 + Slight Touch Of Hepatitis 14:28

    Thanks again.
