LAURELIE is part of the first wave of prog groups to appear in Belgium (along with WATERLOO, MAD CURRY & The PEBBLES), even if there were still many psychedelic treats in their music (this is true also for the other groups just mentioned). Seemingly out of Eastern Belgium?s Ardennes, the group was a standard prog quartet with a flutist. Their sole album, released on a Barclay subsidiary label called triangle was released in early 1970 and they sounded a bit like TRAFFIC, with a touch of BJH in their more symphonic moments.
Their music is a mix of shorter psych-filled tracks and two longer prog tracks, including a five-piece suite almost filling the second side of the album. The group did not manage to stay long together and later that year, you would find bassist Pierre Rapsaet a member of the equally-collectible JENGHIZ KHAN.
