ANALOG SUNSHINE - The Mountain (2023 /AS)
Que "la buena música es siempre buena música" empieza a ser un término relativo. Cuestionable. Si se produce fruto de IA (Inteligencia Artificial), es música engañosa. Música tramposa. Hecha a partir de datos HUMANOS previos, manipulados algorítmicamente. Fraude. Todo esto me viene a la mente cuando tengo que hablar de los norteamericanos Analog Sunshine. Para empezar, prácticamente sin información. Que un tal Tom Bolton lo hizo él sólo a partir de una convalecencia por accidente grave. Hay un batería que le ayuda, Glenn Welman, dicen. Esto puede rebajar la sospecha, de ser cierto. Las dudas más fuertes vienen cuando se asegura que cada tema viene acompañado por un trabajo visual hecho por Inteligencia Artificial. Y quién no me dice a mí que la música también? Éste tipo de dudas llevan tiempo asaltándome. Hasta el punto de que, de no tener plena seguridad de que sea música humana, hecha por el hombre, me dedicaré a hablar de obras de anteriores décadas. O me pondré un top
I sometimes wonder what it was like to be a music lover in the seventies. So many bands with so many records and so many of them obscure…was it as big a treat as it is today to find something incredibly rare. Blackwater Park "Dirt Box" [Spalax]
ResponderEliminarTheir lone (only one album) with 1972 this German hard rock outfit with an English vocalist,combined elements from multiple extant and budding rock subgenres to construct their complex sound: hard rock, blues-rock, jazz-rock, acid rock, prog rock, and even proto-metal.
Blackwater Park is an obscure band that emerged from the Berlin underground scene. They released their unique album "Dirt Box" in 1971, published on BASF in 1972. The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
(Accessible) kraut power band whose work is essential for collectors. "Dirt Box" has been recently reissued on CD by record labels Second Battle.
