A rare and high-energy Jazz-Rock / Fusion gem from Switzerland. Released in 1982, Schachmatt is the only studio album by Quasimodo, a power-quartet that perfectly blends intricate progressive structures with aggressive fusion grooves.
The album is a must-listen for fans of technical drumming and melodic yet complex Bass lines. From soaring Guitar improvisations to tight ensemble playing, this record stands as a testament to the vibrant European underground fusion scene of the early 80s. A true collector's item for those digging into obscure European Progressive Rock and Jazz-Rock history.
