Ikarus - Ikarus 1971,German Progressive Jazz / Rock Fusion ,Krautrock



IKARUS played progressive rock that sometimes was in the vein of VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR. The sound is dominated by emphasis on guitar and organ interplay, but the use of flute, saxophone and clarinet add more color to their compositions. A solid album.
