Rodan (MAX) — Rodan 1974 (USA, Progressive,Funk,Jazz Rock)

Rodan (MAX) — Rodan 1974 (USA, Progressive,Funk,Jazz Rock)

A rare album by a Californian band (only 200 copies). They were known as "Max" and toured with bands such as Malo and Tower Of Power. The album is a fusion of jazz, funk and other genres, including progressive rock.Super horn rock album, that absolutely kills on most of the 12 short tracks. There are a couple of bluesy moves and at least one James Brown styled funker, but mostly this just rips from start to finish. The kind of album you wish all horn rockers were. Smoking guitar and great brass charts. The rhythm section never stops. California based group was actually known as MAX, and toured extensively with groups like Malo and Tower of Power. Album sports a fantastic drawing on the cover.

Now the story becomes clear. The original album itself is a pirate edition. It's not conclusive if the album was a tax dodge deal like the Guinness or Tiger Lily labels, or just an ambitious insider looking to profit. As such the original album is a hodge-podge of different eras of the band which explains the sound variations throughout.
