Odin was a British band, but all the members lived in Germany. Their self-titled
debut and only album (1972) is one of the many obscure gems released on the Vertigo
swirl label. Odin's style was organ dominated progressive rock with influences
from hard rock, jazz and some folk. Tracks like "Life is only" and "Clown" are
stuffed with lengthy organ passages and good melodies. "Be the Man you are" was
an airy acoustic track of the kind that most progressive rock groups would have
one or two of on their albums. "Eucalyptus" was an atmospheric instrumental with
some nice use of string-synths. "Tribute to Frank" (probably Zappa) was a bit
quirkier, with some quite interesting and unusual chords. And the guys used
their voices as instruments in the cheerful "Turnpike Lane" with good result .
They also did a decent, although not very creative cover of Quatermass' "Gemini"
with a slightly longer organ solo than the original. Condition of the cover EX+! The condition of the disc is M-! Includes the ORIGINAL POSTER , also M-!
