Default Gilgamesh - Gilgamesh (1975)

This is a thread for discussing the Gilgamesh's self-titled debut from 1975. The album was the PFAC homework for week 29 and 30, but of course anyone can join in!

Some songs transport the feeling of coolness, with ugly riffs making one feel uncomfortable, but then make a sudden change into beautiful harmony. Other songs are very emotional and calm. Sometimes they use an annoying organ effect, I guess that's the seventies. I have no time for checking out the musicians, but they are somehow connected to Canterbury.

So get some Gilgamesh folks!
So what do you think about this jazzy Canterbury effort?
