Giants from 1978 [flac] and Oliver Walrus from 1976 by request

 








Giants is squarely funky latin type fusion except the simplicity leaves a little to be desired or maybe a lot, as the case may be, the Kilimanjaro track for ex. remains in the same chord for almost the whole duration.  Discogged here, note the presence of Santana and Hancock. Sample track, In your heart, which has such a nice breezy feel:



On the other hand Oliver Walrus, real name, Gary Levine from the US, is quite the mix of styles with folky acoustic, crooning soul, steel drum calypso, hard blues rock, all on one LP.  He was in the 1972 band of the almost same name, Walrus logically enough. That one had such a wonderful cover, unlike Oliver's record. Here's the title track, Me Myself and I:


And here's one of the hard rock songs, I think you can guess what the title is:


I have to admit, both guitar and synth solos are nice though.
