CATAPILLA

Here's an odd progressive jazz rock album on the Vertigo label. The music is centered around the mentally disturbed female voice of Anna Meek, and the sax of Robert Calvert (not to be confused with the HAWKWIND guy - just to warn HAWKWIND collectors out there that this isn't the same Robert Calvert). The music, for the most part, tend to be very lengthy, with lots of lengthy passages, and Meek yelling and screaming more than singing. There are also two rather short, horn-driven numbers to round things out. Regardless, a fascinating album, if you can get over the vocals.
