Alcatraz - Vampire State Building (1971)
Artist: Alcatraz

Released: 1971

Genre: Krautrock
"Set up in 1969 this Dutch/ German group toured with The Pretty Things, Ekseption, Neu, Wind, Jane etc. This album was recorded in 1972 and covers all bases! It has mellow prog jazz touches like Soft Machine, Caravan etc. blended with lengthy instrumental acidic jams featuring sax, flute driving percussion as well as effect laden mayhem and some biting wah wah fuzz guitar that is reminiscent of Faust ! . Experimental stuff. Highly rated by the writers of Crack In the Cosmic Egg."
