Psychedelic Rock
Arzachel released one album in 1969. This band was the reformation of Uriel who had changed its name to Egg in January 1969 after the departure of their guitarist Steve Hillage. Since the members of Egg had just signed an exclusive deal with Decca when they were offered to record a psychedelic album by another label, they reunited with Steve Hillage under the name Arzachel in June 1969. On the released LP the band members used pseudonyms. The A side has four songs, while the B side consists of only two mind-bending psychedelic tracks, the longer of which is a 17-minute jam entitled "Metempsychosis". It was issued on the short-lived Evolution label and quickly became a collector's item. A pirate version is thought to have circulated in the late 1970s, and it has been much bootlegged in more recent years.
