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
