Titanic - Eagle Rock (1973 norway, fascinating heavy prog rock, 2000 extra tracks digi pak)


.
1973's "Eagle Rock" was critically acclaimed and once again quite eclectic, (featuring new keyboardist Helge Groslie and bassist Arica Siggs). There's a slight African tribal percussion theme running through the album, reminding me of, er, Uriah Heep on Look at Yourself.  It does have a couple of highlights, though, in the epic One Night In Eagle Rock and the excellent Dying Sun, where the band stumble across a great rif. "Eagle Rock" is one for aficionados of the era.
