The Invisible Leader

Crocodiles age well.So it comes as no surprise that the band, named after the primeval reptile with the killer instinct, is, once again, back in the game. Over 50 years after forming the group in Zurich, and 45 years after their break-up, Düde Dürst, drummer, band leader, graphic designer and archivist of the first Swiss “supergroup”, decided to take another stab at it. In the midst of working on a rerelease of Krokodil’s psychedelic masterpiece «An Invisible World Revealed» (1971) he couldn’t help himself but get inspired. His latest vision? Recording an album that unites Krokodil’s pioneering creative spirit with the zeitgeist of the 2020s. Together with the two founding members Walty Anselmo (guitar, sitar, vocals) and Terry Stevens (bass, vocals) as well as two younger and gifted musician friends, Adi Weyermann (guitar, vocals) and Erich Strebel (keys) Düde embarked on his latest, bold undertaking.

Invisible are from Argentina and they released 3 albums in the seventies before calling it quits. Luis Spinetta was the leader and an incredible talent. He played lead guitar and sang on the first two albums, but on this the final record they brought in this virtuoso to play lead guitar while Luis sang while still adding some guitar.
With respect to the players they are all excellent with the guitarist being a true virtuoso. Tomas Gubitsch uses clean tones on his guitar and emphasizes an almost jazzy approach to his playing, which can get very fast, especially on the instrumental piece. The eight tracks on the album range in length from 3'24" to 7'08" and more or less consist of extremely interesting and thoughtfully arranged songs with "proggy" interludes scattered throughout. All in all, this is yet another fantastic and creative album from the Argentinian progressive scene.
