Description
Pantheon were a Dutch instrumental progressive rock group with focus on flute, sax and organ and a dazzling, jazzy style rhythm section. Their record was released in 1972 and is the only Dutch Vertigo LP ever. Its also their only LP. They had two previous 45's and hailed from Arnhem. Label sais 'Made in Holland'. Vertigo Stereo 6360 850. Short tracks like "Daybreak" and "Anais" sound like outtakes from a Focus session with beautiful melodies carried by flute. Where Pantheon really shine are on long songs like "Apocalyps" (10:53), a jaw dropping composition. Carried by at least two melodies you will be whistling for days, the track goes through multiple movements with sax and organ leading the charge. The complex bass and drum work is startling as well the addition of electric guitar, flute and wordless voice adds to the many ideas on display. Afterwards, the whimsical short "The Madman" introduces the 19 minute title track. Everything that makes Orion special is highlighted here. The complex instrumental arrangements, the strong comprehension of melody, the variation in instrumentation (organ, piano, synthesizer, sax, flute, choral vocals, acoustic and electric guitar) and different styles (jazz, baroque, rock). It's a whirlwind journey and worth every listening second. The LP is an amazing unplayed graded conservatively as NM! Sleeve is EX-. Slight lamination wear and the down left corner is creased a little. The down right corner shows tiny stashing wear. You really never see this and in this grading... 100% guarantueed original press.
