Pavlov's Dog-"Pampered Menial" (1975)

Considered a cult band Pavlov's Dog, it was founded in the early 70's in St. Louis in the United States and they played a pure progressive rock that combined with elements of folk and hard rock.
His debut was the impressive "Pampered Menial" in 1975 which is also undoubtedly his best work, which showed the talent of the band led by guitarist Steve Scorfina and singer David Surkamp, ​​plus drummer Mike Safron, bassist Rick Stockton, keyboardists David Hamilton and Doug Rayburn, and violinist Siegfried Carver.
In this first album the band perfectly combined beautiful compositions with the precious technique of all its components. With an overwhelming beginning with the theme "Julia" where acoustic and symphonic are mixed in a sublime way, the band is showing its various sounds like "Late November" where they show more harshness with great guitar riffs, or apotheosis and rhythmic "Song Dance" that leads us to "Fast Gun", "Natchez Trace" or "Theme from Subway Sue" where we see the eclectic sound of the group, to end with the instrumental "Preludin" and the progressive "Of Once and Future Kings" which becomes the great climax to one of the great progressive albums of the 70s, as dignified and great as the genre's masterpieces.
