Medusa - Medusing (1979)

The one and only album from this band from Norway.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band was based in Norway but it also had members from UK and Greece. The album has just been re-released on CD through the Norwegian re-release of obscure LPs onto CDs. The series is called Norske AlbumKlassikere and it is a brilliant iniative.

The music is a mix of funk, 1970s stadium rock and progressive rock. 

Influences from the likes of Rush, Rainbow and Yes is pretty obvious here. Ditto for the Sly Stone influences.

The songs on this long album is catchy and has got a lot of good guitar solos. The vocals is also very good.

This album is very obscure and forgotten..... but thankfully available again. That means we can now appreciate this good album again. It is a true find from the Norwegian scene. 

It is probably more a retro than a progressive rock album. Nevertheless, check it out.
