Hungry Wolf - s/t (1970 England). Originally released on Philips, Hungry Wolf’s sole album is a primarily instrumental pop rock affair, with some heavy Hammond organ to hold interest (courtesy of the Mohawks’ Alan Hawkshaw). Loose guitar, simple rhythms, even some vocals which is rare for an album like this. File along with other instrumental British combos like Ugly Custard and The Bigroup. Boots exist, but never reissued legit.
Swegas - Child of Light (1971 England). Swegas’ album, on the small imprint Trend, is a nice mix of horn rock, Brit-Jazz, progressive rock and even some jazz improvisation. Definitely not the typical simple blues based horn rock album. Likely to appeal to fans of disparate artists such as Nucleus, first album Yes, Heaven or Michael Garrick. Very good, a bit inconsistent - a borderline tier 1 album. No CD reissues exist.
Moose Loose - Transition (1976 Norway). Moose Loose’s second release “Transition” is a good fusion album filled with violin and guitar leads. Reminds quite a bit of same era Jean-Luc Ponty mixed with Terje Rypdal’s more aggressive works. Not that dissimilar than some of those obscure German fusion bands I’ve been rambling on about lately. It’s been a long time since I heard their debut “Elgen er Los”, which I recall to be more psychedelic guitar oriented, though still rooted in fusion. A revisit of that one will be coming soon hopefully. Neither have been released on CD.
