A very underestimated UK early progressive band,EAST OF EDEN were formed
in 1967 in Bristol by musicians Dave Arbus,Geoff Nicholson and Ron
Caines,who had known each other from some past underground groups.The
original line-up featured also Steve York on basses and Dave Dufont on
drums/percussions.Arbus, after seeing some performances of Jean-Luc
Ponty,decided to use the violin as a dominant instrument in the band's
sound.In 1968 the band moves to London and signs with Deram Label
(responsible for the early prog releases of Decca Records).The next year
EAST OF EDEN debuted with ''Mercator projected''.
How this album is so unknown is much of a question.EAST OF EDEN blended
Classic Rock with jazz solos,psychedelic movements,Classical hints and
bluesy riffs to create one of the most rich-sounding albums of the
time.In ''Mercator projected'' the fuzzy guitars of Nicholson and the
complicated bass work of York are battling with the obscure violins,the
harmonica solos,the jazzy saxes and the pastoral flutes of the
Arbus/Caines duo.The psych vocals,handled mostly by Nicholson,are great
as well,but the strong ace of the band are the fantastic
dark,improvisational instrumental passages and the nice interplays of
the musicians.No keyboard attacks or organ orgasms in here,this is an
obscure yet magnificent blend of different styles and instruments,always
in a rock basis.EAST OF EDEN remained a cult act among UK Prog fans,but
their debut should be heard by many more people than this closed
circle.Highly recommended! (apps79/progarchives.com)
