Ram — Where? (In Conclusion) 1972 (USA, Heavy Progressive Rock)
The New York band's only album. For fans of good, energetic hard progressive rock from the '70s with clever flute, sometimes reminiscent of Ian Anderson. The entire second side of the record is taken up by the 21-minute monumental epic "Aza," a collection of themes and improvisations in the spirit of space rock.Ram is a group that was based in New York City in the United States and was active in the early 1970s. Band members included brothers John and Ralph DeMartino as well as Bob Steeler who later played with Hot Tuna.
Many reports state that a mellotron was the instrument used for the spacial and elecronic effects of Ram's music. Actually, they were the result of electronic flute and in some cases, tenor alto and soprano saxophones (sometimes played 2 at a time) by John DeMartino. The band produced one album on Polydor in 1972 entitled Where? (In Conclusion). The original vinyl is a sought-after collector item.
