Thirsty Moon - Thirsty Moon 1972

Thirsty Moon was one of the German bands from early '70s from Brain records label together with Emergency or Cornucopia who wanted to make a name in progressive/jazz rock field. Well, the second album You'll never come back from 1973 is definitely their best work from the catalogue and for sure an album that must be discovered by younger generation. Combining jazz rock passages with some progressive moves and as well interlude with long spacey instrumental sections with brass parts this album is a winner. Trash Man is the perfect example and the best tune of the album. Only 5 pieces, two of them quite long where the musicianship is more then ok, lots of tempo changes, sax make quite a nice figure here. This is a pleasant album, with plenty of memorable passages, maybe nothing is groundbreaking or innovative, but is well constructed and as well a very nice voice from Harald Konietzko.
