I like. Pumped into it when searching information about The Aaltos and someone on the net somehow compared The Aaltos's attitude to the The Kaplan Brothers'. There is no other need to compare Aaltos sisters and Kaplan brothers than the devoting take to the music, the message and confidence to oneselve's abilities in any case.
I don't know many covers of King Crimson's Epitaph but here is one. Not bad version at all. Maybe the oddest moment is when they play few bars of Yes's Roundabout intro. No quite like Steve Howe but almost.
I copy here the review from "jazzis" at RYM because he says everything that i think about "Nightbird"
This is the 3rd and last album by the obscure US (Chicago) group The Kaplan Brothers, which included three brothers: Ed Kaplan, Richard Kaplan and John Kaplan. Completely beyond classification, the music the Kaplan Brothers produced was an insane mixture of Psychedelics, Prog, kitsch, pastiche and pure genius. By the nature of the beast, this is definitely not for everybody, but for lack of a better drawer to put it in, it falls (rather uncomfortably) into the Prog one, just for being weird enough, the extensive usage of Mellotron and of course the King Crimson cover. I personally find it both amusing and entertaining, but I'm known for my weird taste. Weirdos of the world rejoice!
