Release Music Orchestra News 1979 Germany, Jazz Fusion

Release Music Orchestra - News 1979 (Germany, Jazz / Fusion)   The fifth (last) studio album from of the ashes of Tomorrow’s Gift, came Release Music Orchestra (RMO for short), who consisted of TG’s remaining nucleus plus wind instrument player Jacobsen. Their first album, Life (74) included live recordings of their first concert, and sounded like a jazzier TG due to Rurup’s electric piano and the sax. Their jazz-rock resembles much what was then done in Germany, such as Passport, Thirsty Moon, Kraan, Aera, etc. RMO was never a stable group and many line-up changes occurred with keyboardist Rurup remaining the sole original member throughout their 5 album career, even recording one album (their third Get The Ball) without wind instruments, but reinstating them by the next album, Beyond the Limit. Their sound grew, as was often the case in those days, more commercial and streamlined with each new album, sounding more and more like US jazz-fusion of the late 70’s. Tracks: 01.
