(Review from waysidemusic.com)

El Shalom founded in Rheinhausen in 1970, released their LP Frost in 1976, followed by a 7′ single in 1978. A quintet of guitars/flutes/saxes, keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and vocals; they definitely had elements of the big progressive bands of the day, such as Yes or Genesis, but in a more underground/primitive/rock kinda way.

Owing to different musical tastes of the band, there is a large range of diverse styles that the band has to cope with. By making productive use of these different styles rather than fending them off, a synthesis is created which is interesting and exciting for both the musicians and the audience, integrating elements of jazz, classical music and folk into rock music.

This edition of the album has the 7′ single, plus two live tracks as a bonus.
