MEET JESUS MUSIC
S/T
(UK ECHO 1971)
INCREDIBLY RARE UK PRIVATE LABEL XIAN LP, 2ND LP ISSUED BY UK LABEL ECHO AND FOR ME THE REAL WINNER ON THIS LABEL (only issued an handful of lp's). HAS GREAT MOVES AND STUNNING FEMALE VOCALS FROM LOU HAYLES, BUT THIS IS A STRONG FULL BAND SOUND
ALWAYS BEEN A TOUGH LP TO LOCATE AND A REAL FIND FOR SERIOUS COLLECTORS OF THE UK EARLY 70'S SCENE. PLEASE DON'T LET THE TITLE OF THIS LP PUT YOU OFF THIS ONE'S A WINNER FROM THE OFF!!!!
LISTED BELOW ARE 3 QUOTES I'VE TAKEN FROM VARIOUS SOURCES, THE FIRST IS FROM THE HIGHLY REGARDED KEN SCOTT - THE ARCHIVIST BOOK OF XIAN MUSIC. THE OTHER TWO ARE, 1ST A CATALOGUE CUTTING FROM SECOND HEAD RUN BY DAVE WELLS, THIS WAS FROM A FEW YEARS AGO, THE OTHER IS FROM THE LEGENDRY WALTER GEERTSEN CATALOGUE OF RARE FOLK/PROG/PSYCH LP'S FROM AROUND THE WORLD, WALTER IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE LEADING AUTHORITY ON RARE RECORDS IN EUROPE, HOPEFULLY YOU WILL GET A FULLER PICTURE OF THIS LP FROM THESE GUYS, WHO CAN DESCRIBE THIS LP WITH BETTER AUTHORITY THAN I COULD DO SO....

MEET JESUS MUSIC
Meet Jesus Music (Echo ECR 002) 1971 UK *
If I were giving ratings in this guide then Britain’s Meet Jesus Music would get a solid five stars for their debut. This is clearly a talented bunch, especially Keith Routledge’s dazzling piano and Tony Taylor’s percussion displays. Their sound is definitely unique and hard to peg -I’d say a lightly progressive brand of folkrock with some jazz leanings. Take the opener ‘Jehovah Shalom’, the strongest track in the set - an enchanting progressive rock masterpiece that begins with MJM’s delicate haunting harmonies segueing into hard rock guitar before bursting into jazzy piano and drum interplay ala Emerson Lake and Palmer. Some lovely recorder graces the ethereal folkrock of ‘Melchizedek’ as well as the ten-minute ‘Where Jesus Is’ (which also has a powerful drum solo). ‘The Truth The Life The Way’ and ‘The King Of Love’ are more in the style of soft lounge jazz with gentle trombone leads (I know it sounds schlocky on paper but believe me, they are brimming with charm). Every cut is strong and when they’re not dreamy and atmospheric then they’re upbeat and packed with joy. Absolutely captivating.© ken scott
