Abacus - Midway (1973)

The fourth album from this band from Germany.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, sitar, keyboards and vocals.

The band continued with their fourth album. Their third album, the 1972 album Just A Day's Journey Away was a deeply unimpressive album. It was a mix of dumbed down krautrock and symphonic prog.

The band has ditched some of the krautrock and replaced it with some 1960s psych rock and some very The Beatles like beat rock. There is still some early symphonic prog here.

The music is mostly decent. It has some decent vocals and guitars.

These forty minutes are not particular interesting though. Only the organ sound is the saving grace here and elevates the album to a decent album status.
