The Gasoline Band were originally a group of American military men stationed in Germany who discovered they had a mutual affection for music. They formed a band, quit the army and relocated to London to record this, their sole album. The music of The Gasoline Band could be roughly described as jazz-rock, although with a tendency towards more popular music. The large brass section gives them a big-band feel as well as depth to the music. Stand out tunes include the technically-astounding opening track The Bitch as well as World What You Gonna Do with it’s magnificent instrumental. Meanwhile, tracks like the instrumental Ein Grosses and the experimental Schrapnel show the band stepping away from lyrics in their music. It’s definitely not a ‘prog’ album, but there’s enough good sounds to make this a worthwhile visit to anyone fond of smooth jazz.
