Excalibur – First Album (1971) (@256)
14 Jun 2010
(Review from rateyourmusic)
Hailing from Monchengladbach, Excalibur were a very British sounding hard rock trio with unique German touches. Their sound can be described as as a mixture of Birth Control with the boogie of American groups of the early 1970s, such as Ten Years After, Grand Funk Railroad.
The keyboard of Hartmut Scholgens shines through the album, establishing typical passages and melodies from those early days of hard rock. Highlights include the single “Get Me, If You Want” and the instrumental “Zamuno”.
Line-up:
- Charlie Terstappen / Drums
- Werner Odenkirchen / Guitar, Vocals
- Hartmut Scholgens / Organ, Vocals

- Achim Reichel / bass
- Lemmy / percussion

01. Light In The Dark – 6:10
02. Get Me If You Want – 2:55

Good album. Yes, it sounds British. But it has that typical German approach too. It’s very strong, you can feel it clearly. Hard rock at its best. Thank You Sakalli!
