Man-"2 Ozs Of Plastic With a Hole in the Meddle" (1969)

Man are one of the cult bands par excellence, these Welsh went into the annals of rock for the demonized guitar jams halfway between Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers but with a progressive style, very close to kratutrock with many psychedelic touches.
In their first album "Revelation" their style was still somewhat immature although the extensive crossovers of solo guitars that would make them famous over the years were already predicted and they moved between the psychedelic of the time and the emerging German rock.
"2 Ozs Of Plastic with a hole in the Meddle" (1969) would be the next work where there is much more compositional ambition and it enters fully into the progressive without leaving behind the prevailing psychedelic, very present in the initial suite "A Prelude / The Storm ", while "It Is As It Must Be" shows typical krautrock experimentations, "Brother Arnold's Red and White Striped Tent" instead is an approach to the British progressive jazz of the late sixties.
An album with a lysergic sound very typical of the psychedelic era that put them on the world rock scene.
