Jenghiz Khan were short-lived, but their “Well Cut” has long been
in demand among collectors. This contained the archetypical heavy progressive
rock of the times, sometimes similar to
Zarathustra,
Uriah Heep and
May Blitz, but also with
some more mellow tracks. The lead vocalist might be compared to Paul Rodgers of
Free. In my view this album is a bit overrated, but check it out if
you're into the genre. Pierre Raepsaet had previously played with Laurelie.
