Mackenzie Theory - Out Of The Blue CD (expanded)
SKU
AVSCD048
Mackenzie Theory were an Australian jazz/rock outfit featuring electric guitar and electric viola, bass and drums who existed from 1971-74.
Considering how early this was in the timeline of electric jazz and how far Australia is off the usual trail, this is surprisingly intense and very well done.
““MacKenzie Theory could go from a delicate whisper to a ferocious roar in a heartbeat with blast furnace riffing and mindbending rhythms... There were also moments of great lyrical beauty in the arrangements as the music soared effortlessly, continually peaking and residing with ease. It’s that vibrant ebb and flow that marks the greatness in the band’s music”. Ian McFarlane, 2009.
For those who haven't heard the music of MacKenzie Theory, think of The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Santana (circa Caravanserai), or even The Dirty Three.
Recorded in front of a live audience at T.C.S. Studios, Melbourne, Sunday 20 May 1973, Out Of The Blue is a startling, emotional album - experience it in all its re-mastered glory.”
