Living Force "Living Force " 1977 New Zealand Prog Psych
Living Force is one of the forgotten bands from New Zeeland who manage to release a single album in 1977 selftitled. To tell the truth I had hard time finding this album even in digital format not to mention in the vinyl one, where prices can go up to 80$. It was a pleasent surprise for me this band, a combination between progressive rock typical for that period combined with some more edged rock and some very nice african sunds, at least is how I see this album. Some very good pieces are interplaying with some mor usual one, but always a good album to listen. for Living Force, an album hard to find but I think worth to be investigated. Sometimes they remind me of Journey combined with some Santana moments. A good one.They disbanded a couple of years later in 1979 after this release and fall into oblivion for unknow reasons.....by..b olariu ..........
