Gracious – This Is...Gracious!! (1971)
Tuvieron una carrera de poca existencia, apenas 4 años mal llevados (1967-1971). Y es que no todo el mundo conseguía abrirse camino a través de las dificultades, económicas fundamentalmente, y otro tipo de situaciones, y GRACIOUS, estuvo en el saco de los perdedores. Fue fundado por Paul Davies y Alan Cowderoy, Davis era batería pero hasta que no ficharon a Robert Lipson para que cogiera las baquetas, no pudo Davis ejercer como frontman llevando la voz cantante, y nunca mejor dicho. El trío formado sonaba muy influenciado por gente como Cream y el blues británico emergente. Tras una de las muchas giras que hicieron al comienzo para intentar promocionarse, Vertigo Records se pone en contacto con ellos para ofrecerles un contrato. Aceptado este, se concentrarán en estudio para realizar un primer álbum. Su primer disco, el más difundido y conocido en el mundo del Rock, titulado Gracious!, nombre diferente al que mantenían con el que serán acuñados por su mánager. El álbum se editó co...
Sperrmüll is a German rock band founded in Aachen in the early 70s. In 1971, Harald Kaiser and Reinhold Breuer decided to form a trio. His name Sperrmüll. Then one day, Helmut Krieg arrives with his guitar and arrangements and the group is started. From that time, the group became a quartet with the involvement of Peter Schneider to play keyboards. The group's name is somewhat obscure because "Sperrmüll" is a German expression that means garbage in bulk. They recorded one album for the label Brain in a very limited edition in 1972, in a manner also quite anonymous Dieter Dierks studio in Stommeln produced by a Chazadu surely a pseudonym. A test similar to the very successful early Deep Purple in Nosferatu and even Rufus Zuphall, This album has long been a precious rarity on vinyl
ResponderEliminarSperrmüll offers a burly album called simply "Sperrmüll" songs are in English and not overloaded instrumentally speaking, but the group actually plenty to offer. Mainly Heavy Rock, but with many additions musiqu progressive, guitar as well as the organ. The original LP consists of 6 songs, then later be digitally added two songs ("You Have To Leave" and "To Be Satisfied").The set is however complex and dynamic improvisations in between some vagueness (many Hammond organs and guitars Heavy catchy) arrangements and folk epic flute.
The opening track is a pop folk entitled "Me And My Girlfriend" controlled first by mandolin and piano, lead, little by little, through the organ and synthesizer to an end much more Heavy Blues. "No Freak Out", Prog majestically, is the song of the group's most famous because it is found on most long compilations of Krautrock for several years. A good choice because it is a good mix of psychedelic ingredients in a style close to Pink Floyd combined with a monotonous rhythm. "Rising Up" is a bit more spacy sometimes reminiscent of Deep Purple, Eloy or even Grobschnitt.
The Hard Rock "Right Now", an epic nine minutes begins some unusual way, because only bursts of guitar and drums hell are dueling for a moment. After several minutes, the song turns into a calmer perfectly structured piece with a jazzy piano and a powerful bass, and finally ending in Hard Rock again. Perhaps the best part, because of these innovations varied. The last two tracks "Land Of The Rocking Sun" and "Pat Casey" are not really important, because they are typically Rock songs, while the second has a more pronounced rhythm style Boogie Woogie.
