Between 1971 and 1974 Jazz-Fusion Pioneers Placebo released 3 albums all of which are some of my favorite fusion bits ever ! Balek (attention! in Arabic) opens up this wonderful compilation marking one of the great fusion songs of all time. I first hear Placebo back in the late 80's and followed Moulin solo too until his untimely death. Fusion Prog fans will love Placebo and so too will jazz fans as they cover quite a wide territory...from influences of Soft Machine to that of the Temptations. Without question Placebo should have received more notice than they have ..which remains only the DJ scratch groove crowd and ardent fusion lovers (like me!). Heavy grooves and tons of great instrumental funk-soul-jazz.
