Abel Ganz ‎– Gratuitous Flash (1991)

From the huge amount of bands participating in the rebirth of UK prog rock in early-80's,ABEL GANZ can place themselves among the best ones.Formed in 1980 in Glascow,Scotland under the forces of bassist Hugh Carter and keyboardist Hew Montgomery,they started playing live around Glascow,having Malky McNiven on guitars and Kenny Weir on drums…

Abel Ganz is a band from Scotland that has been active since 1980. Most people know that former Pallas lead singer Alan Reed used to sing on their albums, however they never really got the attention which Pallas got in the media. Too bad, because all of their five previously released studio albums contain excellent progressive rock music. The same can be said about their 2014 release, which they simply titled Abel Ganz. The band's mix of several styles throughout the entire album, works very well on Abel Ganz. The sometimes folky, slightly jazzy and playful classic ingredients certainly enriches the progressive rock this band makes. Everything is done very tastefully and therefore the album has to be heard in one go.

"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a song by English rock band the Rolling Stones, released as a single in 1968. Called "supernatural Delta blues by way of Swinging London" by Rolling Stone magazine, the song was perceived by some as the band's return to their blues roots after the baroque pop and psychedelia heard on their preceding albums, Aftermath (1966), Between the Buttons (1967) and especially Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967)…
