Big Big Train – English Electric Part One (2012)
Cuando escuché por primera vez English Electric Part One, supe con certeza que David Longdon era la estrella más brillante del rock progresivo moderno. Su voz, junto con sus composiciones para flauta, elevaron a Big Big Train a un nivel que rara vez alcanzan las bandas contemporáneas, digno de estar a la altura de los grandes maestros de los años 70.

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.
