Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce a newly re-mastered edition of the classic self-titled second album by Dutch Progressive Rock group KAYAK.

KAYAK were formed in Hilversum in Holland in 1972 by keyboard player TON SCHERPENZEEL and drummer PIM KOOPMAN. The band signed to the Dutch division of EMI’s HARVEST label the same year. Their self-titled second album was released in 1974 throughout Europe and featured a line-up on SCHERPENZEEL and KOOPMAN along with MAX WERNER on Vocals and Mellotron, CEES Van LEEUWEN on Bass and JOHAN SLAGER on Guitars, the album was a fine debut and would launch KAYAK as a major group in their homeland and further afield into Europe.
