Take The opening tracks From Chicago's debut and Colosseum's Valentyne Suite. CLUTCH them together and add rough HEAVY vocals. That's what ALTONA Sounds like, raw acid rock withA jazzy brass section and powerful vocals. An ultra-rare gem but if You want some moreof that great upbeat 60's vibe, hereYou go.
The album starts with A swinging HEAVY rock groove. The brass section and Beefheart-alike vocals give it A nice twist. It's A bit ofA stretch butThe Brass instruments somehow remind meof Morphine. ALTONA's mood isn't morose though, this must be The most energetic and vivacious MUSIC IKnow . Oh YES this is prog YouCan boogieTo !

Cocopus partially continues The upbeat pace, but also adds some more reflective bluesy pieces that could have been FromPINK Floyd's More or Ash Ra Temple. Uberlandfarth shifts up The gear another notch. One Day I'll throw in this song at A party at Home . Guaranteed swinging and air guitar fun. 7/4 is A bit of an old-fashioned rockabilly track butFrom hereOnThe album doesn't let goof its tight rockingEnergy anymore.

Is it cabbage? Is it acid rock? Jazz rock? It's sure HEAVY energetic fun! (Bonnek/progarchives.com)
