Dzyan
Mandala
Dzyan recorded 3 albums between 1972 and 1974. Each album they released was quiet different. After the release of the
first album the line-up changed and Eddy Marron was the new guitarist. The SWF-session reminds a lot to their first
album. Dzyan played a slightly jazzy form of progressive rock with flashes of Zappas Hot Rats and even some VAN DER
GRAAF GENERATOR saxophone- fronted diversions. These radio studio recordings are even more rock oriented then the first
album recordings. There are five titles. 4 new compositions and a longer (11:00 minutes) and different version of
probably the best title from the first album "Dragon Song". Steels Electric/Daddy Groove is a 15 minutes suite, very
inventive and with great guitar playing by Eddy Marron. ZAZ has a great ethnic feel produced by fine Zaz (Turkish
stringed instrument) also played by Eddy Marron and oriented rock rhythm patterns. Finally "Resurrection" was part of a
one hour suite, Dzyan sadly never recorded. This recordings are among the best ever recordings at the SWF session
studio.
Remastered from the original master tape. Fine booklet (vinyl version has an insert) with a cover painting by Helmut
Wenske (never used before on a cover), band story, photos
