Originally born as a German-British band, the music of MESSAGE oscillates between a substantial heavy
rock and a nice
folk rock articulated around a range of keyboards arrangements. Their first album was recorded under the direction of the famous musical engineer Dieter Dierks. The result sounds remarkably as British
progressive rock of the moment. Very melodic, with a ravishing and an accomplished lyrical sense of composition. Their following album is as great as the previous one, delivering impressive, extended, mainly
instrumental heavy/
space rock tracks which can be compared (in some parts) to NEKTAR's first effort. Their two last albums released in 1975/76 were directed to more mainstream, conventional and
easy listening heavy
rock music. Very accessible records, sometimes including jazzy ingredients, the band abandoned their complex, sophisticated and original
progressive rock. In search of a commercial response, they finally failed to convince the public.
