LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

The sole, eponymous album of this great progressive band was released in May 1970 by the Danish Sonet Records as a pressing of 1000 copies (and today worth about 500 euros in top condition). It's worth noting that the Puggaard-Mόller brothers previously played in the great Delta Blues Band. The music of Pan was an ambitious mixture of heavy rock sounds with folk, jazz and classical music and was characterized by great English (and some French) vocals from Robert Lelievre (who sadly committed suicide in 1973), fluid tasteful guitar parts, atmospheric Hammond phrases and a loose, but solid rhythm section. This tightly arranged and beautifully produced LP is now regarded as one of the very best rock albums ever recorded in Denmark. Unfortunately, the band broke up in 1971."
