Everfriend – Sphere Of Influence (1981 / Jazzical)
En determinados foros progresivos, parece como que esos que se aprestan a coger un boli (lo harán?!), les dieran el poder del martillo de Thor. Se sienten capacitados para cargarse cualquier cosa. Como un "castigo" por ser unos desconocidos, olvidados y de incierto destino. Qué fácil tarea la de hablar mal de lo que no se entiende. Y qué rastrera la de ensalzar a los triunfadores. Neo-liberalismo prog?.....No lo veo muy desacertado. Es como si ese tipo de discos oscuros y que no gozaron de suerte, fueran los indicados para cargárselos. Por losers y abandonaos, (y por no engrasar sus ejes). Me parece gente miserable. Ya sabemos que un "Tarkus" o un "Close to the Edge" es difícil que nos salga, a éstas alturas, en el inframundo de los prensajes privados. Pero remangarse con inquina contra músicos honestos que un lejano día lo intentaron, dice bien poco de su calidad humana. Criticar saben. Comentar e informar, no. Los norteamericanos Everfriend, cometiero...
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.
