OLIVER WAKEMAN (Parte 1 de 2): Clive Nolan & Oliver Wakeman – The Hound Of The Baskervilles (2002 / Verglas)
No cabe duda de que la actual formación de Yes está gafada. Tras varios intentos reguleros (o alejados del prog, más exactamente), llegan con "Aurora" y editan el mejor disco en tiempos......Que sin embargo, no va a ser el disco Yes del año, por culpa de "From a Page". El doble ahora expandido, con sobrantes de aquel "Fly from Here", tan injustamente tratado. Más en concreto, hacia su auténtico cantante Benoit David, y el hijo de Rick, Oliver Wakeman. Se diría que, sabedores de que "le deben un finiquito justo" y una satisfacción, le hayan cedido derechos a Wakeman JR. Con producción a su cargo, ha sido editado paralelamente por Mercury/Universal (un hecho algo inverosímil), cuando los actuales Yes están en Sony/Inside Out. Que las sobras de aquella efímera formación le den cien vueltas al actual (y mejor) disco de Yes en eones, ya dice mucho de todo el embrollo. La alineación actual es un error anti-natura que se empeñan en conservar. Ni Ge...
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.
