Ahmoo! is a heavy instrumental progressive fusion with violin being the centerpiece - to be expected given the band is his nickname. There's also quite a bit of guitar/electric piano/Moog interplay. The title track seems promising but unfortunately features a dull drum solo one must endure. Typical mid 70s fusion, that was all the rage at the time. Similar to other European acts like Pumpkin, Pop Workshop, Napalis, Energy, Ex Ovo Pro... and of course the progenitors of the jazz fusion movement: Return To Forever and Weather Report.
Ownership: LP: 1975 Hi-Hat; LP: 2016 Svart. The Hi-Hat press is a recent acquisition from a Baltimore record store while in town for business. I owned it once prior but traded it away for something more to my tastes back then (this was many years ago). Svart's LP reissue comes with full liner notes. For now, I'll keep both.
