The short-lived, London-based, progressive Jazz-Rock ensemble Catapilla reformed their line-up with a new rhythm section and Ralph Rolinson (organ, e-piano) to record a second Vertigo album in 1972. Changes is an apt title, because the new keyboard player gave the album a distinctly different sound. Also Anna Meek’s vocals are better controlled now and fit perfectly with the four wonderful pieces that are at once ephemeral, sophisticated and largely instrumental.
Sadly, like the first album, also this second one didn’t found the audience they deserved. Not long after the release Catapilla disbanded. The spectacular cover art was designed by Martyn Dean (brother of Roger). Changes is a legendary album which is traded at top prices today.
