Ex/ex | Ultra scarce pressing of PAX's first abum..Songs from the "Pax" album that have all the essential compositional ingredients so as to be named the works of a true Progressive Hard Rock: A Storyless Junkie, Sitting On My Head, Deep Death, For Cecilia, and Pig Pen Boogie (tracks 1, 4, 5, 6, & 7 respectively). Personally, I am especially impressed with Deep Death, Sitting On My Head, and For Cecilia, going one after another. The first of them contains, apart from others, a couple of quite long and, what's the main, extremely unique (I have never heard anything like this before) dark episodes with slow yet very tense guitar riffs and gloomy mid-tempo organ solos. Sitting On My Head is, in my view, the most diverse composition on the album. In each of the said five songs there are also original and virtuosic (just wonderful) interplay either between two soloing guitars and bass or between guitar, bass, and piano solos, going to the accompaniment of the (always) excellent and diverse drumming. The first part of the song For Cecilia (track 6) is one of the most wonderful Proto-Prog ballads I have ever heard. Performed without bass guitar and drums, but still remaining lush and tastefully orchestrated, it is full of sincere beauty (especially the vocal sounds). Of course, I was sure that For Cecilia is a (charming) ballad from the beginning to end (all we are more than used to hearing on albums of Hard Rock or Hard 'n' Heavy such ballads that sound mellow as a whole, aren't we?). So I was really amazed when in the middle of the song I heard the wall of heavy sound with the excellent fast guitar solo on quite a slow, doom-y background instead of the continuation of the mellowness. Green Paper (track 3) is also quite rich in interesting arrangements, and although there are also a few of changes of themes and tempos in this song, it has mixed (electric and acoustic) structures as a basis. Another track with a mixed stylistics is Rock 'n' Ball (track 2). In full accordance with the title, there are all refrains sound on the background of Rock 'n' Roll, while the main themes and instrumental parts are based on heavy riffs. Each of Green Paper and Rock 'n' Ball contains also a couple of the fast, incredibly tasteful guitar solos. Finally, Shake Your Ass is just a short humorous song with a loud laughter in the end.
