FULLY INTERLOCKING

I could not agree less with my namesake, Dieter Fischer. Fully Interlocking is one of my favourite albums and evey bit as good as the wonderful Cordon Bleu. Dreamy keyboards, great sax work and an inspired rhythm section with some wonderful interplay between instruments. The vocals are just OK - never a Solution strength, but most tracks are instrumental except the first and last. The recording quality (on my vinyl copy) is outstanding - the drum intro to Carousel is the best test of a hi-fi ever - and this adds to the spacey feel. Give Me Some More is particularly excellent (poppy? I don't think so!) and Carousel is marvellous but no track lets the album down at all; it's very consistent and excellent. Jass fusion at it's best and, oh yes, DEFINITELY prog!!
