  FREEDOM'S CHILDREN is One ofA tiny numberof groupsFrom South Africa knownTo haveRecorded and performed progressive rockMUSIC , their history going as far back as 1966. There are folk proggies Hawk and A few artists as Robert Calvert and Manfred Mann, but documented ArtFromThe nation is sadly lacking dueTo political issues. It was also difficult FOR bands ToThe country, which makes this finallp that much moreA treasure. FC really knew how To record with limited means, though, and A presumably tight budget. Oh, this is prog alright, it just tends To be spat it in your FaceFromThe schoolsof Sabbath, Creedence and Zeppelin with only hintsofThe Nice and Tull. But these guys had visions of ArtATime when it was usuallyOne orThe other. And they could play like mutherf*ckers. 'Sea HORSE ' is AA storm with drummer Colin Pratley and Barry Irwin (Ramsay MacKay only appearsOnTheLive 'Home Coming')OnHEAVY bottom. Evidently they had lost their keyboardists and On this night only Laxton plays synthesizer. Pratley takes A mammoth and very jazz drum solo in 16-minute stomper ' The Homecomming'. A Taste of Zep in 'That Did It' and A good OneThe right places, just like those English rockersOnA goodnight . Acid folk of 'Fields and Me' is more than it seems, with AA Trip through an Arabian desert at sunset. A remarkable piece. Brief ' The Crazy World ofThe moment with electronic warbles, hokey country-psych bit '1999' doesn't quite work, and 'AboutThe Dove andHISKING ' shines with more Eastern mystique and makes ample useofThe strings.

Good MUSIC FromAband denied its part in progressive rock history till recently, andA rare treatFromThe truly sparse South African prog scene. (Atavachron/progarchives.com)
