The M - The M (Reissue) (1971)

Only the single studio work by the popular in early 70's four-piece rock band that was created by the future members of Yellow, Funny Company and Godaigo. Pretty interesting work: quite competent performance level, amusing own works, unusual gathering of covers. Original compositions were put in the begining of the record, the most interesting among them is the first one – 11-minutes psych track "Toki wa Ima Kokoni" in vein of Quicksilver Messenger and american band Gypsy, that is going onto solemny sympho by the end of the track. The two another compositions written by their own – "Shiroi Jujika" and "Ai no Danso" – not so notable, but they can be listened to – here's the flavor of Happy End and similar bands, the music could be described as blend of folk with baroque rock and Japanese pop motives. The other five tracks – covers, among them are quite irrelevant Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" and Carole King's rock ballad "It's Too Late", but the others deserve your attention: little known soul from early Little Buster "Looking For A Home", proto progressive "Gypsy Queen" by the mentioned above band Gypsy and "Flight Of The Ibis" from repertoire of McDonald & Giles that finishing the album. Totaly it is not pretending to be an outstanding record but it deserved to be listened to.
