Mack Sigis Porter - Peace On You (Ghana-Italy 1972)

An Uncle Roddus Album Review.


01. Miles to Go
02. Back Home
03. Peace on You
04. Sunday in Neon Lights
05. The Seventh House
06. Till the Fall
07. Freedom

 "Miles To Go" is a strong start to this ultra rare piece of Italian Prog by the Ghanaian born Mack Porter, with its long folky intro before getting more funky and embellished with some cool strings. I also like the organ build up in "Back Home" as the instrumental breaks build in an otherwise low key track. Plenty of peaks and troughs on this quite serious sounding record as the songs have sparse intros before more instruments chime in to fill out the tracks. A unique sounding record that gets more interesting with repeated and concentrated listening and a more downtempo sort of prog thing, not all blazing guitars but more intricate as good prog should be. A worthy effort and I'm giving it 3.5/5.
