Carmen Maki & Oz — Tozasareta Machi 1976 (Japan, Progressive/Hard Rock)

Those who filed this under prog need their ears checked. Pretty one-dimensional, borderline AOR compositions not worthy of Carmen Maki’s strong voice. The only track here with balls is the 10-minute, Sabbathian ”Tozasareta Machi”, a nice early metal artefact which effectively renders the other three quarters of this tame and repetitive album irrelevant.oulamies Feb 28 2023
