Fusioon. 1972 Spain

Fusioon's debut - the least heralded of their 3 albums - is a fine release of 8 progressive rock instrumentals. Perhaps a bit raw and unpolished, but for 1972 Spain, it's quite accomplished. There's also hints of their transition into a more Canterbury styled group. I find the album excellent on the whole.

Ownership: CD: 1997 Divucsa. Purchased new online upon release. Straight reissue with original album details and that's it. Gets the job done though.

Fusioon - Fusioon (2). 1974 Spain

Fusioon's second album sees the band tighten the ship a bit and there's more focus on a Canterbury like sound. Vocals have been added effectively as well. A very fine album, that fits perfectly between their first and last albums.

Ownership: LP: 1974 Belter. Recent online acquisition from France (2020). Single sleeve with an eye catching day-glo orange and green crocodile cover. The 1997 CD on Divucsa doesn't offer too much beyond a short history in Spanish and a few b&w photos. So I let it go.
