EAST OD EDEN \ MERCATOR 1969.
East of Eden was a progressive rock band, who had a Top 10 hit with the single, "Jig-a-Jig", in 1971. The track became something of a stylistic albatross around the band's neck, since it did not resemble their usual sound or anything else they normally played. Although some might consider this group as being a symphonic progressive band, others state that their style is mostly jazz oriented. Combining flutes, violins and tape loops to folk, gypsy and psychedelic music, the East of Eden style was always heavily supported on a pure rock base; strong and experimental also regarded as one of the lost GEMS of early prog.
Few Violins in the world could sound at that time like DAVE ARBUS.!!
All the posted albums are HIGHLY RECOMMENED.
