Review by Mellotron Storm
PROG REVIEWER
3 stars LABORATORIUM were or are a Jazz band out of Poland. They released 6 studio albums over about a 10 year period ending in 1986 before releasing a new studio album in 2018. A five piece band with some unique sounding synths. He plays a Micro Moog and a Roland Jupiter 4 both of which I never heard of before. He also plays piano and electric piano. We also get sax, guitar, bass and drums. And there are some vocals often sounding processed except for the song "Blues For The Lady Graduate" where they are quite upfront. "The Celler Suite" has a lot of vocal expressions and atmosphere early and late. Some experimental bits and piano too.

The opener, the title track is OREGON spelled backwards and a nod to that American band which is pretty cool. I'm not into the festive mood here with whistles and percussions. Catchy with sax and some guitar. Nice depth to the sound to start "Duck's Furcoat" as synths join in. Piano over top around 1 1/2 minutes in. Synths are back then vocal expressions and percussion 3 minutes in. "Bee- Flight" ends it and it's the jazziest piece with some walking bass and it's the longest at 11 minutes. Light synths to start then it builds. Kind of funky here. Sax, synths and thankfully some electric guitar but not a lot.

I'm not big on the synths and the sax is hit and miss. I wish the guitar was leading instead of the sax or synths. I have the previous album by them called "Quasimodo" which I do prefer.
