"Down At The Finckle's" & "Eyes of Glass" by Kandahar (Belgium, 1974)

  / prognotfrog   Album: Long Live The Sliced Ham This group, hailing from Ghent (in Western part of Belgium), played some rather adventurous rock music and formed in 73, and were a cross of jazz-rock with Canterbury influences and sometimes a touch of Zeuhl. They released on their own private label Dwarf two albums, which were quite in the avant-garde progressive rock of the time (sounding a bit like a cross of Placebo, Pazop and Cos), before going broke. In their heydays, Kandahar was often favourably compared with Supersister, but once they folded due to lack of finances again, leader Karel Bogaert, an engineer, returned to his professional acrtivities in the Far-East, but released a few solo albums. This left Jeff Devisscher at the helm of Kandahar, and they will take time to re-group. After a few years, they managed to release an Ep, than another album, but clearly their moment had gone. None of their albums have ever been re-issued on vinyl or on Cd format until 2009, when Sony did surprise everyone by reissuing the first two albums, making Kandahar records very sought-after for almost two decades. In the late 80's the group reformed for one album that will fail to bring back the feel of their early days brilliance. Only this album is available, until recently. :::: Bio written by Hugues Chantraine, Belgium :::: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.as...
