KALAHEN

Impressive and gloomy proggy Psychedelia, like the band heading to the past instead of walking into the future, which was propably a good reason to never release their album and force them to disband. The material ranged from Kraut-spiced Folk Rock with flute, acoustic guitar, something like a Farfisa organ and raw vocals, accompanied by a mysterious mood, to keyboard-laden Psych/Prog grooves with some shaped Klause shulze like electric moves and occasional sax, sometimes recalling of Van der Graaf Generator.The eponymous suite is quite fascinating Heavy Rock with tons of Mellotron, organ and split Classical/Jazz influences it almost reminds me of Jon Lords Hammond organ from his work with Deep Purple.Close to a classic, seems this was released for the first time in 1986 in a limited run of vinyls. I also love the medieval theme on the cover as well.
