Embryo Steig Haus is a great fusion album, maybe the most jazzier of this german band, that always had a fusion work.
The opener, Radio Marrakesh/ Orient Express, is a ten minute song with impressing bass and drums in the rhytmhic section, plus great organ play and good guitar playing, mainly the solos. There is good percussion too and some flute. This song is a breathtaking performance by skilled musicians.
Then comes Dreaming Girls, 10-minute-long too, again with great bass playing and drumming, it is slower, mellow in the beginning. There is good Marimba playing by Bunchard. The violin solos in this track are great. The violin is slow over great bass lines and drumming. The rhythm changes some times, faster, slower, some improvisation, different keyboard sounds. Some bass and percussion passages. Then the violin solos and some keyboards too. And some percussion pyrotechnichs with some keyboard effects.
Then the last song, a seventeen minute epic, starts with some funky rhythm and good keyboards, a very fatty and haunty organ tone, plus violin. Lots of variations. Great organ playing and then great bass playing. The bass players are really good. It is difficult to describe a song like this because there are lots of variations and improvisations, but the overall is pretty good, a great classic, with skillful playing, mainly percussion, bass, organ and mellotron. A great jazz session provided by this group that as far as I know, had lots of jazz influences, but besides some world music, like in We Keep On.
An excellent album recommended to all the fans of Jazz Rock/Fusion and all interested in great musicianship in general.
