Jozef Skrzek and Tomasz Szukalski and their Ambitus Extended from Poland, 1981



    





Another outstanding find from my connection-- the one whose paypal account for vinyl-purchases is looking like it's IMF-funded and World Bank financed-- recalling at times the immortal Danish Secret Oyster: kings of gentle, melancholy fusion, but at other times, the notorious German rarity Synthesax recently reviewed by Tom on cdrwl.

I will simply quote some of the great tracks on this album, these 2 I've sampled are both straight out of the Krankenhaus of the Secret Oysters, but the remainder of this entry has some funky moods, some fusion, a lot of synth playfulness, some out and out jazz walking bass, etc. The last track is a throwaway blues number.

Track 6, Trumpet And Dwarfs In Kaeper's Shack




Track 7, Happy people from X:
