WLUD - Second. 1979 France

"Wad/Thud" continue on with their second album, creatively titled... yea. And we pretty much hear the same style as the debut - 6 creative instrumental melodic progressive tracks that are pleasant, though not earthshaking. This is Instrumental Prog Rock 101, and you get an easy "A" just for showing up to class. Not everything has to be Master's class hard to be good. Sit back, enjoy your favorite beverage, and immerse yourself into the music of WLUD.

Bonus tracks on the Musea CD add (French) vocals and demonstrate the band was up to no good at the end of their career, desperately trying to find a larger audience. And it didn't work obviously. Besides who wants to hear a band called Thud?

Personal collection
CD: 1997 Musea
LP: 1979 Music'Al

Originals come in a nice gatefold but is not distinctive otherwise. I sold it off once the CD landed. No regrets.

Last listen: 2015
