Bermuda Triangle Band's wild psychedelic and delicately nuanced electric autoharp and transcendental vocals grew out of the late 1960s folk rock scene. With an independent attitude, eccentric style and highly unusual instrument lineup, the group was unprecedented. Psychedelic rock autoharp was then-unknown, and at the time there were very few women playing bass guitar. Since the formation of the band in 1967, its only constant members have been Roger Penney and Wendy Penney.
It is a special recording which does not reveals itself after one listen. Most of the album sounds as if this is a Christian or otherwise spiritual inspired item, in a hippie fashion, with driven soul in the vocals, and with speeded up rhythms heading for the light, using rock rhythms, covers or originals for enlightenment…
The second studio album by early and historically important French progressive rock band. This album suffers somewhat from the dreaded "sophomore slump". Triangle branch away a little from the progressive elements found on their debut & begin incorporating a more mainstream approach into their sound.
Debut by early and historically important French progressive rock band.
A Parisian combo Triangle were founded in mid 1967 originally as a trio by Gérard "Papillon" Fournier (bass, voices), Pierre Fanen (guitars), and Jean-Pierre Prévotat (drums). In 1968 Alain Renaud replaced Pierre as a guitarist and vocalist, and in 1969 they released the debut single, that could not get any success. Alain in despair has left the combo and François Jeanneau (keyboards, saxophone) and Paul Farges (guitar) joined soon. In the following year they published the second single titled "Elégie À Gabrielle" (named after the suicide of Gabrielle Russier, a high school teacher falling in love with one of her students), and via a French label Pathé their debut eponymous album, featuring a smash hit "Peut-Être Demain".

The first of three CDs featuring tenorman Clifford Jordan and his "Magic Triangle" (pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Billy Higgins) has fairly lengthy versions of "Pinocchio," "That Old Devil Moon," Walton's "The Maestro," and Jordan's "The Highest Mountain." Recorded live in Amsterdam, the musicians sound inspired by each other's presence, and there are many strong solos from Jordan and Walton. Well worth investigating.
