 ‘For Fox Sake’ is an extraordinary example of psychedelic pop centered on guitar and Hammond organ interplay.

 ‘Madame Magical’ is the pinnacle, a 9-and-a-half-minute track where the band showcases their best in jazzy psychedelic prog.

‘For Fox Sake’ by The Fox is a rare psychedelic pop album from 1970, discovered serendipitously at a record fair. The music features a distinctive blend of guitar and Hammond organ with clear Beatles influences. Despite its modest production and brief recording time, the album offers balanced compositions and memorable tracks, especially the psychedelic prog finale ‘Madame Magical.’ This overlooked Brighton band made a notable mark before disbanding shortly after. Dive into The Fox’s ‘For Fox Sake’ and experience a hidden psychedelic pop treasure from 1970. Listen now and uncover its rich sounds!

 The album is not a masterpiece, it’s not innovative, and at times it feels uneven between vocal parts and music.

 From a purely instrumental point of view, the album is very beautiful, well played, and reaches its peak in the 'Intro' of almost 10 minutes.

La Pentola di Papin's sole 1977 album offers a pleasant if uneven experience in Italian progressive rock. Not innovative but charming, especially for Hammond organ fans. Vocals and lyrics show pop influences and weaknesses, yet the instrumental sections stand out, particularly the evocative 10-minute intro. The album feels like a suite with unique effects, making it a hidden prog treasure worth uncovering. Explore La Pentola di Papin's unique blend of vintage prog sounds and discover a rare 70s Italian progressive rock treasure.
