Flied Egg
Dr. Siegel's Fried Egg Shooting Machine
1972 Debut album by cultish japanese combo ! This unbelievable psychedlic/progressive rock band came together the same year after Shigeru Narumo and Hiro Tsunoda shelved their project Strawberry Path (they had a sole album release in 1971 and eventually a 7 inch). Their sound is pure adrenaline, a stormy hard blues kinda thing, with heavy Hammond organ riffs and more than a freakbeat influence. Partially informed by contemporaries british bands like Deep Purple or Uriah Heep, they opened to more gentle and sophisticated arrangements in the soulful ballad I Love You with an epic string section. The hypothetical single Plastic Fantasy could have been an alternative dancefloor classic with that Traffic/Brian Auger feel in the end.
