Haze (Heavy?/Germany 1971)

   Some bio from youtube: The single album released by Haze had another of those extraordinary 
artwork sleeves designed by Walter Seyffer of Nine Days' Wonder fame. It
 was made to look exactly like a slide picture, complete with frame and a
 transparent picture of the group Haze. Hazecolor-Dia was a Hauke & 
Dierks production, recorded during April 1971 at the Clerks Studio. All 
five tracks were written by Dietmar Low. Slow, cleverly-arranged heavy 
progressive numbers with a faint blues tinge, featuring humorous lyrics:
 "A Way To Find Paradise" told about a hippy's struggle to get his 
hashish to smoke! Scherler really had a strange and wild voice (he 
usually screamed as loudly as he could), adding much to their gutsy 
freak rock style. Several tracks also featured flute (the flute player 
is not identified on the cover). Haze were probably inspired by The 
Edgar Broughton Band, Arthur Brown and Captain Beefheart.

	Heavy prog for sure. In the vein of Atomic Rooster, Uriah Heep.
