I was just poking around on Spotify & found this album. Really cool, clean & uncompressed production.. great playing, great songs! Im like why the hell hadnt I ever heard of these guys before?
I guess they werent around long.
Glen Hughes was a badass then, & STILL is.

Re: Trapeze. Never heard em..
Yeah, man.. Im listening to this & thinking this Medusa album was pretty ahead of its time in 1970!
At times, it sounds a bit like Judas Priest, Sabbath, with a blend of funk, & 70's do-what-you-will.

Re: Trapeze. Never heard em..
Exactly like what was going on with Sabbath, Purple, leading into Priest, etc.
Started listening to their other albums as well (Spotify has them for freez). Great stuff

Re: Trapeze. Never heard em..
I started listening to Trapeze about 15 years ago after getting obsessed with the MK III and IV versions of DP that featured Glen.
An old band that I recently discovered is Bloodrock. The vocalist sounds like the guy from the Guess Who and music is anywhere from DP to Sabbath, psychedelic, and more commercial stuff. I've spent hours listening to them on youtube over the past few weeks.

Re: Trapeze. Never heard em..
Any specific recommendations, DBN? Not too much of their stuff on Spotify. Will have to check YouTube.

Re: Trapeze. Never heard em..
Trapeze is the shit. Been listening to them since the 80's.
Yes!!!! Great band!!! Super underrated.
Get the "Bloodrock 2" album. I think it's their best one. "Bloodrock USA" is also really good. Well, they all are, but these 2 are my favorite.
I don't think it's available anywhere for download but you can still buy the CD... I have the CD and vinyl versions

Gotta Find My Way and Castle of Thoughts from the first, self titled album is a good start. I just go on youtube and make sure it's set to continuous play and let it go. Before I know it I'm listening to Toad, Sir Lord Baltimore, and all kinds of crazy early 70s stuff.
