Nine Day's Wonder

   Another German to come out of the early '70s

On their debut album, Nine Days Wonder play fairly complex heavy progressive rock with obvious nods to the Mothers of Invention. I find them also comparable in style to bands like Lagger Blues Machine and Moving Gelatine Plates. There is an almost non-stop variation in moods and tempos. The album features some blistering guitar riffs/solos and great saxophone playing. Flute and piano occur sporadically as well. A superb, energetic album with a raw psychy edge, and essential listening if you like bands mentioned above.

The band went on to produce 5 albums in total. 

Nine Day's Wonder (1971)

We Never Lost Control (1973)

Only The Dancers (1974)

Sonnet To Billy Frost (1976)

The Best Years of our Life? (recorded 1971-1975?; released 2001)

	I've always wanted to check these guys out. Sadly , their music is not easily foundin stores.
	let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword
