Claude Engel, France


Claude Engel. 1972 CBS

Engel is most known to fans of underground rock as the first guitarist for Magma. He also played in Omega Plus, Troc, Univeria Zekt, Lubat / Louiss / Engel Group, and many other notable groups in the early 1970s. This album starts as a relatively generic singer-songwriter piece (as the LP cover suggests), but gradually evolves into an innovative guitar fronted rock album. Plenty of guitar soloing and, on one track, has some intriguing wordless voice. A little bit of funky business too. He has a few other solo albums, that I have not heard.

You can still find original LP's for under $10 as I update this in 2024.

Priority: None
