Absolute eye-gouger of a cover by HR Geiger makes you think this one'll be a symphonic prog record about aliens, but actually very neat & rockin' psych with heavy organ & fuzzed out bass. They were Swiss, & won a couple of Zurich band battles on their way to making their sole album. Lyrics are sometimes in English because their singer was from the UK, and their keyboard player was clearly way, way into Procol Harum. Drummer definitely also loved his soul records, and he leans heavily on the crashes. Tracklisting: Repent Walpurgis, Ode to the Salvation Army, Leave This Man Alone, What's Wrong About the Blues, Hey Mr Holy Man, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, No Time, The Peddle, You Don't Love Me, Hear My Plea, Repent Walpurgis.
