IKARUS - Ikarus( 1971 German Eclectic Prog )Full Album

Ikarus biography IKARUS played progressive rock that sometimes was in the vein of VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR. The sound is dominated by emphasis on guitar and organ interplay, but the use of flute, saxophone and clarinet add more color to their compositions. Far from perfect, but listenable enough for fans of 70's prog. A solid, but not essential album. Tracks: 01. Eclipse (Manfred Schulz/Jochen Petersen/Lorenz Köhler) - 00:00 including: a). Skyscrapers b). Sooner Or Later 02. Mesentery (Jochen Petersen) - 15:18 03.
