Omschrijving
Raw Material is a British band that released two albums in the ealy 70's that are now highly collectible.
The group consist of your standard prog quartet plus frontman Mike Fletcher on wind instruments. They
developped a slighly jazz-tinged progressive rock so typical of that era and their debut album had some
great moments. Most progheads will prefer the much more even Time Is.. Rare album that appeared on
the RCA prog label called Neon records. This album (with the line-up augmented by a second guitarist
Harewood) was much more 70's-sounding and left loads of space for instrument interplay and hold many
fine moments that every proghead looking for rare late proto-prog should investigate.
