Opal by Embryo, released on Ohr in 1970.

...their debut album released in 1970 which caused none other than Miles Davis to describe them as "crazy creative musicians playing really weird stuff"

Embryo's band leader Christian Burchard (drummer/percussionist) was at the time hanging out with the Amon Duul commune of freaks who had a symbiotic influence on each other's music.. I love Edgar Hoffman huge electric-violin and sax work here which really brings home the fusion of jazz and psych elements that they were intending to explore. Best way to maybe describe this album would be to imagine a sax playing fusion- era Miles Davis, aka Bitches Brew, with a touch of Can and Amon Duul II tossed into the equation. The album is a drastic fusion of rock, jazz, blues, soul and psychedelia and is a true milestone in the genre of psychedelic progressive rock." - Soundohm
