Fuzzy Duck - FUZZY DUCK***

Self titled sole album release form the London progressive group Fuzzy Duck. Their music features the prominent use of Hammond organ backed up by electric guitars.

“Fuzzy Duck is a marvellous conjugation of guitars, Hammond organ and drums. The music is intricate and flowery. It is very original combination of hard psychedelic rock with imaginative art rock with every song demonstrating musical virtuosity in its composition and arrangement.”

“Very underrated Hammond orientated rock from the early 70s. While this release doesn't exactly introduce original or groundbreaking ideas, it's hard to find any fault with it. Every track is enjoyable in its own way, and the album has a very warm psych atmosphere throughout. The organ and guitar playing is great and the extended jams in certain tracks give the album a prog reputation.”

“This album doesn’t stand out remarkably amongst the other progressive leaning heavy rock of the early 70s but it does present some instantly catchy groovy riffs that warrant repeated listens.”

“Following in the footsteps of their contemporaries Fuzzy Duck incorporate the lineup of Hammond and electric guitar to perform in the heavier key of early prog. The result is a fine album that's entertaining, energetic and often fun.”

“Listen to the whole album in sequence and one thing leaps out, and that is of an unchanging and constant pacing. There are few changes of tempo within each track and little difference from one track to the next. The absence of light and shade gets a little tiring despite the often interesting compositional ideas.”

“Fuzzy Duck sound like a lot of late 1960s Hammond based heavy rock keyboard ensembles, but they have slightly above average songs and are fairly precise musicians. The proceedings do not fall prey to sloppy playing or that other unwelcome indulgence of the time, the endless exploratory jam.”

“This is basically a down to earth great hard rock album full of catchy melodies and great interplay. Although the songs are within the five minutes limit they never get boring or move off into pointless jamming. The riffs, choruses and great soloing are too powerful to fall into that common trap.”
