    Исполнители хардкора, вероятно, слишком суровы, чтобы уметь читать и, придумывая себе название, не удосужились узнать, что когда-то была и хорошая группа с таким названием... Hardcore artists, probably too harsh to be able to read and, coming up with a name that does not bother to find out what once was and a good group with this name ... [2]

    Alcatraz - "No. 4" (1982) - It was originally issued on Philips and reissued by Long Hair a few years ago. Because of the difficult music presented, it recalls the band Oktober or perhaps P.P. Zahl. Then "No. 4" have one side "in rock" and one side "in jazz" although both sides sound very alike: demonstrates an excellent guitar fronted hard rock album similar to perhaps Mahogany Rush. It's hard to imagine a group that's been more "progressive" than Alcatraz over the years, other than maybe Embryo.Bizarre really . om hari om .....

    @ all_will_suffer, the charts are misleading. Music from the HC Alcatraz is much easier to find then old obscure 70s band alcatraz. However did you notice what artist picture has the most up votes? Yep the 70's band, so I would conclude that the 70s band is more popular since all the other pictures of the HC band have more downvotes then upvotes.
