  • Malachi - Malachi - 1971 from UK


    Band Malachi from UK made it - if it's not enough they recorded selt-titled album in Studio Katy in Belgium and released it only in Italy.


    Music is psych hammond driven with a dose of flute.



    The best and proggiest is left for the end: "Suite for Salena" - intrumental hammond fest in style of Beggars Opera or other classical influenced bands.

    I think this can be compared to other early 70s UK prog bands........


    Good addition to other unknown UK prog bands with albums from 1971:

    MALACHI was unknown British band from early 70s, founded by Barry KIRSCH (keyboards, arrangements, production) with help of Robert WILSON (bass, vocals), Paul PINDER (drums, flute, cymbals) and Jon ASHFOLD (congas, bongos)


    They made one self-titled album in 1971 with an interesting history of its creation.

    "Malachi" was recorded in Belgian Studio Katy and released only in Italian part of EMI label.


    For this reason their work was probably not known in their home country and they remain hidden obscurity of early, psychedelic and pop influenced prog. Moreover album has strong presence of oriental and latin percussion which distinguishes them from other bands active at the same time with similar style.


    These alements combined with very old-fashioned sound of Hammond Organs can bring to mind early Santana.

  • This guy is simply awesome. Thomas Thielen aka 'T' is an amazing musician. Shades of Steve Hogarth vocally too. All his albums are superb.
