Laser Pace (prog rock / USA)



Laser Pace 1975
Biography:

Laser Pace is an american progressive rock band from early '70s who managed to release one album in 1973, Granfaloon, issued by Takoma records. The music is very challenging and experimental combining progressive rock with funk, jazz and even other crossover moments giving to this album a special status in this genre. Featuring excellent musicians including the brilliant voice of Maureen O'Connor - who can sing in a wide range of sounds - definetly the cherry on the cake here. The guitar and mellotron moments are also very interesting and spacey, sometimes developing more jamming or jazzy moments, more towards the end of the album. They disbanded in 1976.

Maureen O'Connor - vocals, guitar, synthesizer, mellotron
