EKSEPTION is a Dutch band that was famous during the late sixties / early seventies for the way it combined themes from classical composers with contemporary rock and jazz in a blend of dominating, virtuoso keys and trumpet plus sax(es). The story of EKSEPTION as we know it begins when they won the first prize at the Loosdrecht Jazz Festival in 1968, and they were rewarded with a record contract with Philips.
Rick van der LINDEN emerged as the band’s artistic leader, and on this second album he was responsible for arranging and writing the music. Quite astounding Beggar Julia’s Time Trip leads the way to an excellent Holland Progressive Rock. Rick Van Der Linden (Trace’s leader) strikes with this huge wonderful masterpiece, based in a L.V.Beethoven opus. Sometimes pretencious but never boring, this vibrant garish pearl remains a remarkable effort to conceptual works enrichment, Underrated, even for Trace loonies! Being unavailable for a long time, this is your chance to get it here, at your favorite music blog.
