Trace: Zurich 1974.10.03 {Bootleg} (VG AUD) [FLAC]

PORTUGUÊS:
Surgido na Holanda, o Trace era uma banda de progressivo sinfônico liderada pelo famoso e bastante talentoso tecladista Rick van der Linden, que havia sido integrante do Ekseption, outra banda progressiva daquele país que obteve algum reconhecimento. Como baterista, havia Pierre van der Linden, irmão de Rick e ex-integrante do Focus e do Brainbox, e como baixista, Jaap van Eyck. Com essa formação, esse trio - ainda que não tivesse obtido tanto sucesso comercial - se tornou um dos mais importantes grupos progressivos holandeses e apresenta uma qualidade musical do mesmo patamar que bandas como Triumvirat e Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

O que temos hoje é provavelmente o único bootleg da banda que se tem notícia e que apareceu na internet recentemente. Digitalizado a partir da fita master, essa gravação é de um show que o Trace fez em Zurique no fim de 1974, provavelmente na mesma época em que o primeiro álbum da banda foi lançado. Ainda que a qualidade sonora não seja excepcional, a performance é espetacular. Totalmente imperdível especialmente para os fãs de progressivo sinfônico e tradicional.

ENGLISH:
Formed in Holland, Trace was a symphonic progressive band led by famous and highly gifted keyboard player Rick van der Linden, who was a former member of Ekseption, another progressive band from that country which obtained some wider recognizement. As drummer there was Pierre van der Linden, Rick's brother and Focus and Brainbox former member, and as bassist, Jaap van Eyck. With this line-up, this power trio - even though they didn't manage to obtain so much commercial success - became one of the most important Dutch progressive bands and their sound had a musical quality par wise with bands like Triumvirat and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

What we have today is probably the band's only known bootleg and which has surfaced on the internet very recently. Digitised from the master tape, this recording comes from a concert played in Zurich in the fall 1974, probably in parallel to the release of their debut album. Even though the sound quality is far from being exceptional, the performance is spetacular. A real gem and must-have especially for traditional and symphonic progressive fans.
