  | FAR CRY ~ FAR CRY
FALLOUT 2090 (Barcode: 5051125209019) ~ USA ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion
Recorded: 1968 Released: 2007
Only album by US septet Far CryFind albums by this artist, which is a rare example of early US Jazz-Rock Fusion. The band was fronted by a unique lead singer Jere WhitingFind albums by this artist, who delivers some of the most unusual vocal performances (comparable only to Captain BeefheartFind albums by this artist excursions), with growls, whines and you name it, but all making perfect sense in the overall scheme of things. The six instrumentalist play two guitars, saxophone, keyboards, bass and drums producing a big sound and combining Rock, Blues and Jazz into their own amalgam. Saxophonist Dick MartinFind albums by this artist is the biggest surprise and delivers some of the strangest phrases ever heard on a Rock oriented album at the time, very close to Avant-Garde Jazz of Ornette ColemanFind albums by this artist or Albert AylerFind albums by this artist. Strangely enough the stuff he plays fits perfectly the overall ambience of the album. Six of the seven composition included on the album are originals by the band members and they are all very interesting. Overall this is a real forgotten gem and a blast from the past. Having it back in circulation is a real treat. Definitely worth checking out.
