FUSION ORCHESTRA – SKELETON IN ARMOR – 1973 (UK) progressive rock

A short-lived progressive/hard-rock outfit. The album is now quite sought-after. Except When My Momma's Not At Home, which is essentially a mainstream rock 'n' rollin' piece with a brass arrangement, the remaining tracks, Sonata In Z, Have I Left The Gas On?, A Skeleton In Armour and Talk To The Man In The Sky are superb, especially the first two. Sophisticated compositions with astonishing and strong female vocals, superb manic guitar leads, powerful drumming, electric piano, flute and harmonica solos make this recommended listening.

Love the sound of this album - Jill Seward had a great voice and looked good as well. She's now singing with Shakatak - elevator music unfortunately

Highly recommended!
