East of Eden - 1971 - New Leaf
East of Eden was a British progressive rock band, who had a Top 10 hit in the UK with the single, "Jig-a-Jig", in 1971. The track became something of a stylistic albatross around the band's neck, since it did not resemble their usual sound or anything else they normally played. Although some might consider this group as being a symphonic progressive band, others state that their style is mostly jazz oriented. Combining flutes, violins and tape loops to folk, gypsy and psychedelic music, the East of Eden style was always heavily supported on a pure rock base; strong and experimental. East Of Eden were formed in Bristol by Dave Arbus, Ron Caines, Geoff Nicholson and Geoff Britton. They relocated to London in 1968 and were signed to Decca's progressive rock label Deram, releasing their first album "Mercator Projected" in 1969. New Leaf is the third release of the band. 01 - Bradshaw The Bison Hanter 02 - Ain't Gonna Do You No Harm 03 - Get Happy 04 - Don't Be Afraid 05 - Man Said 06 - Song For No One 07 - Joe 08 - Nothin' To Do 09 - Road Song 10 - Home Blues 11 - Jig A Jig [Bonus Track] 12 - Boogie Woogie Flu [Bonus Track] 13 - Last Dance Of The Clown [Bonus Track] 14 - Sin City Girls [Bonus Track] 15 - All Our Yesterdays [Bonus Track] LINK (RS) or LINK (FS)
