This is another fine example of a German semi-professionel band. They played really hot and their music is a great mixture between Soul and Jzz-Rock … watch the tracklist !
Big Blast Company was founded in 1991 and they played around Hattingen:
Hattingen is located on the south bank of the River Ruhr in the south of the Ruhr region.
In 2000 they released their first album called “Blast Controll” and this is their second album, recorded in February 2004.
And listen to this album means to have some fun … enjoy the sound of a totally unknown group called Big Blast Company !
And they are with their bandleader Andreas Lensing still alive and well in 2013 … great !
