finally an oficial pressing of these 2 megarare albums from Southafrican band playing inventive mind<br />
stimulatin head-music. Abstract Truth was the brainchild of one Kenneth Edward Henson . The band<br />
Abstract Truth existed only for a very short time, but it was a time of super-creativity. They exploded on to<br />
the Durban music scene early in 1969, released 2 studio albums during 1970 (as well as a compilation in<br />
the same year!) and, after numerous line-up changes, imploded in 1971. Henson had been the guitarist in<br />
a band called the Leeman Ltd, which had formed in Durban in 1965. In 1966 he and the enigmatic Ramsay<br />
MacKay got together with ex-Navarones members Colin Pratley and Nic Martens to create Freedom’s<br />
Children, arguably South Africa’s greatest rock band. Henson was involved in the early single releases by<br />
Freedom’s Children, which were unbelievably credited to "Fleadom’s Children" because the government of<br />
the time considered the word "Freedom" as unacceptable! Henson then left Freedom’s Children to join<br />
The Bats for a six-week sojourn. In 1969 Henson and sax-player Sean Bergin were in a jazz group called<br />
The Sounds. Henson says, "In February 1969 I was approached by the owner of a local hotel. He had<br />
heard that I played the sitar and asked if I could get together an exotic/Eastern-sounding outfit to back a<br />
belly dancer in the hotel’s disco/pub." The pub was called "Totum" and was situated at the Palm Beach<br />
Hotel in Durban’s Gillespie Street. Reporter Carl Coleman described their sound in a news article at the<br />
time as "totally unlike any other young group around Durban. They are probably the most advanced group<br />
in the country. Their music is exotic, progressive, and not commercial." The album ‘Totum’ was recorded<br />
in Johannesburg over a single weekend using a 4-track machine. The album was released in early 1970.<br />
"According to today’s standards it’s pretty rough," says Henson, "but I guess it was an honest<br />
interpretation of what we were doing."<br />

Italian prog-rock at the very best! Acqua Fragile was formed in Parma by Bernardo Lanzetti (vocals,<br />
guitar), Franz Dondi (bass), Maurizio Mori (keyboards), Piero Canavera (drums) and Gino Campanini<br />
(guitar) in the early Seventies. Their same-titled debut album was released during 1973. Symphonic rock<br />
and classical british pop was the mainstream music of those years; Acqua Fragile's sound was a little<br />
different, still progressive but closer to west coast music than to italian bands as Banco or PFM.<br />
Nevertheless it was PFM (with the assistance of Claudio Fabi) that produced Acqua Fragile's second<br />
album "Mass Media Stars". The band's line-up changed during 1974:<br />
Joe Vescovi, keyboards player for Trip, played several shows with Acqua Fragile, but the band split shortly<br />
afterwards. The singer Bernardo Lanzetti went on to become PFM's vocalist in the highly successful mid-<br />
Seventies. Unfortunately the acclaimed Acqua Fragile second album "Mass Media Stars" is currently out<br />
of stock.<br />
