Voiz is a band that play a sort of blues with progressive influences and religious lyrics. They started under the name His Masters Voice, but when they were invited to record an album in England they changed their name to Voiz. After some personnel changes the band evolved into Bonnie & the Boerema's. At this time the music was more soul and ska. Album: Boanerges (1977) Tracks: 1. Little words [6:03] 2. Laughing [3:10] 3.

The end result is a very bluesy sound not unlike early Jethro Tull recordings such as This Was and Stand Up. Only seven tracks, most being fairly long. '70s FM prog buffs will not be disappointed as they experience the slow burn of 'Keep Quiet' and 'Little Words', or the grungy r&r boogie of 'All The Way From Fryslan', all with loud potent electric guitar leads. 'Quality Of Life' and 'Laughing' both supply whimsical upbeat moments, the latter making use of ukulele, clarinet, and fuzz bass. 'Dank U', the only non-English song, provides a quieter symphonic mood before closing with a heavy electric guitar climax. Lively skillful flute work everywhere you turn, plus a few saxophone appearances, all within the prog/classic-rock context. Also nice dreamy background synthesizer adding depth to the sound. Deserves the same recognition as heavyweights like Agape and The Exkursions. Produced by Pete Yates-Round of Parchment and released on the British Grapevine label.
