Thirsty Moon - Blitz. 1976 Germany


After all these years, I'd never heard Thirsty Moon's 3rd album, despite being a huge fan of the two prior, especially the debut. I had expected a typical mid 70s fusion, of which I've warmed up to greatly in the last 20 years. But one title that didn't do much for me was their 4th album A Real Good Time, which has become somewhat collectable in recent times. Blitz not so much, so I figured not to spend much effort to find. That was my mistake. Information about this album tends to be scarce, but essentially it's an all instrumental rock album. Unusual in its simplicity for style, though musically it most certainly belongs to progressive rock. This is not the Krautrock style of its predecessor's nor is it fusion or symphonic either. More American or British sounding than German, and somewhat unique overall. I quite like it.
