Full review
Jade Warrior consisted of a duo Jon Field ( Flute etc ) and Tony Duhig ( Guitar ) and on the earlier albums Vocalist ' Glyn Havard '. They released their first album in the UK in 1971 with the self same title.The so called Vertigo years in which they released all together three highly influential albums including this one.
With Flute they could on occasion sound like Jethro Tull but these were no rock band as such and had a far more distinctive progressive rock style while incorporating quite a lot of ' World Music 'elements.
'Realeased ' is probably the best of the three Vertigo albums and certainly my favourite one! From the opening ' Three Horned Dragon King ' with it's riffing guitars. sax, flute and driving tabla's.To the classic ' Barazinbar ' a magnificent 15 minute slice of driving ethno spacey rock with a touch of early Santana / Osibisa maybe and moments of sheer beauty like ' Water Curtain Cave ' .
Superb sound quality on the CD with fantastic stereo seperation of all the instruments.Highly recommended.
