简介:
by Rolf SemprebonPazop from Belgium were an early '70s progressive rock group with some jazz-fusion tendencies. Though their music was beyond the ordinary, they were never able to release an album during their short lifetime.\nPazop was formed at the end of 1971 by vocalist and flautist Dirk Bogaert, keyboardist Frank Wuyts, violinist Kuba Szczepanski, bassist Patrick Cogneaux, and drummer Jacky Mauer. Wuyts and Szczepanski had just left progressive rock band Wallace Collection, and Wuyts had previously been involved with Bogaert, Cogneaux and Mauer in another short-lived prog-band Waterloo. Cogneaux had also been a member of Arkham, a group that included future members of Magma and Universe Zero, while Sczcepanski, a classical trained musician born in Poland, played in the Brussels Opera Philharmonic Orchestra for a couple years before turning to rock with Wallace Collection in 1970. \nEven before they had decided on a name, the new group approached Wallace Collection's label, EMI, and though the record company did not sign the group, they offered them a two-day studio session to record a better demo. The four-song demo recorded in these sessions was in a style far more commercial than their normal sound, which had influences as diverse as Miles Davis, 20th Century Classical music, progressive rock groups like King Crimson and Caravan, and Frank Zappa. With the new demo Szczepanski and Mauer headed to Paris, to hit up every record label there for a contract but with no success. They also finally came up with a name for themselves, Pas Op, Flemish for "Warning" but the spelling was soon changed to Pazop.\nThey finally got a contract with producer Luigi Oglival in March of 1972, who was able to get them signed to CBS and the Barclay label. The band went into the Herouville Studio in France in July 1972 to record the album Psychillis of a Lunatic Genius. The group also played several gigs at the Gibus-Club in Paris, which brought them some excellent press, as well as other shows in France and Belgium. Meanwhile near the end of that year Barclay rejected their album as being too noncommercial, and chose to release one of the earlier demos as a single instead, much to the group's chagrin. Oglive, who realized he wouldn't recoup the studio costs, dropped the band as well, reneging on his contract and even keeping the master tapes. \nIn 1973 the group were hired by pop musician Sylvain Van Holme to provide modern rock adaptations of various Classical pieces by Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Mozart and Verdi. Van Holme decided to co-produce a new record by Pazop, and booked them at the Start Studio in Belgium in the late summer of 1973. Van Holme contacted several record companies, but again the album was not commercial enough. The group continued touring Belgium and France until July of 1974 before calling it quits. The inability to get enough gigs and to release either LP had left them financially and emotionally strapped and they split up for more successful groups. After the master tapes sat in a desk for years Pazop's two albums, minus the four commercial demos was finally released on CD by Musea in 1996.
