Loosely planned around a concept of primitive (i.e. acoustic) culture clashing and then merging with modern (i.e. synthesizer) culture, Patrick Moraz could more accurately be said to track the keyboardist's descent from the rich acoustic diversity of his '70s releases into the synthesized tones of his '80s albums. While heavily processed vocoder lines show up in "Primitivisation," this album is largely instrumental. The result, though, is less a satisfying album than a interesting demo of Moraz's future work. The appropriately cheery "Temples of Joy" makes its debut here; with Bill Bruford's fine drumming added, it would reappear in an otherwise identical form six years later on Flags.

Patrick Moraz is a Swiss musician, film composer and songwriter, best known for his tenures as keyboardist in the rock bands Yes and The Moody Blues. After playing a role in the success of Yes' Relayer album in 1974, Moraz launched a solo career and became one of the more celebrated keyboardists of his age. During the '70s, when Moraz reached his prime as an artist, the keyboard was still a new and complex instrument. Technology was still evolving in the age before the personal computer. For this reason, Moraz's trailblazing keyboard work startled his audience. He practiced a new and exciting sound that was ahead of its time, owing a bit to the era's prog rock sound…

With an impressive list of artists such as Yes, Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, Ian Anderson, Tangerine Dream, Caravan, Soft Machine, Premiata Fornería Marconi and many more, the Progressive Rock Trilogy provides the very best of this extensive genre in an organized fashion. This is without a doubt the most important compilation in the history of progressive rock. It is a must have for both novices to this type of music, which is one of the richest within the rock spectrum, and also for informed listeners who will be drawn to the classic hits and artists as well as hard to find gems like the A and B side of the single Ultima Thule by Tangerine Dream.

Former Yes and Moody Blues keyboardist Patrick Moraz mixes numerous Latin and rock rhythms together via his lively synth work, resulting in a full-flavored, energetic album. Not typical sounding to say the least, there are hints of funk and marimba, Caribbean and South American styles, and even flamenco, all guided by Moraz's whirlwind keyboard playing. Inspired by the Brazilian ballet, each song dances with piquancy and flow, never repeating the same rhythms or sounds while at the same time introducing a wide variety of percussion instruments. Andy Newmark's drums add dimension to the fiery patterns conjured up on "Dancing Now" and "Incantations," raising the musical temperature of both tracks…

This album is very original because of the the new keyboards technology approach. It concerns atmospheric polyphonic memories and brief, fast & discrete keyboards notes. Some of the Moraz's keyboards sound very similar to the synclavier; there are not many Latin elements, but there are many dark ambient parts. The often atmospheric sounds and styles remind Tomita, Yanni, Tangerine Dream and Eddie Jobson. Moraz worked hard on the way keyboards sound, giving a wide range of "how can sound discrete & atmospheric keyboards". The album is full of interesting futuristic sounds, but the style is maybe a little too "clinical" for many listeners: it sometimes reminds video games sounds of the 80's.

It's now half-a-century since British folk rock became A Thing, with the early practitioners breaking new ground and inspiring an entire scene that peaked in the late Sixties/early Seventies. Earnest young post-Dylan singer/songwriters moved away from the intimacy of the folk clubs in favour of the nascent college/university circuit. Counter-cultural iconoclasts The Incredible String Band became a seismic influence on a whole raft of bands now categorised as acid-folk, Pentangle's use of acoustic instrumentation within a nominally rock framework attracted many emulators (though arguably no real equals), while Fairport Convention graduated from their initial American West Coast-indebted sound to explore their own country's musical heritage, thus establishing the concept of indigenous English folk rock (a baton that would be picked up by the likes of Ashley Hutchings' post-Fairport venture Steeleye Span and many others).
