"Ekseptional Classics" is a compilation album by Ekseption, a Dutch rock band known for their distinctive fusion of rock, jazz, and classical music. This band was particularly famous during the late 1960s and 1970s for reinterpreting classical pieces with a modern rock twist, incorporating elements of progressive rock and jazz. The album "Ekseptional Classics" likely includes some of Ekseption's most well-known adaptations of classical compositions. Typical pieces that might be featured on such an album include their versions of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," Bach's "Toccata" in a rock setting, and perhaps Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5" reimagined with contemporary instruments and rhythms. Vinyl releases of Ekseption's music are cherished by fans and collectors for the innovative and unique sound that the band brought to the progressive rock and classical crossover genres. The vinyl format suits their music particularly well, given the dynamic range of the classical elements and the depth of the rock and jazz fusion sounds.
