...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

Ostatni gasi światło – tak w zasadzie można by podsumować trzecią i ostatnią w katalogu zespołu płytę. Zanim jeszcze wystygły pierwsze wytłoczone winyle muzycy Elf spakowali walizki i przenieśli się z przydrożnego motelu do Sheratona – Elf został rozwiązany a na jego gruzach wyrosła późniejsza legenda hard rocka.

Co prawda, wkład Elf (nie liczę oczywiście Ronniego Jamesa Dio) ograniczył się do pierwszej płyty Rainbow, ale za to płyty genialnej, pełnej doskonałych melodii, pomysłów i mistrzowsko wykonanej. Być może to właśnie jakość debiutu Rainbow wpływa na moją ocenę ostatnich dokonań Elf przed rozwiązaniem działalności. Bo jaka jest „Trying To Burn The Sun”? Cóż, muzycy trzymają poziom. Tyle, że jest to poziom „Carolina County Ball” a nie ich eponimicznego albumu z 1972 roku.

Płyta jest przeciętna. Odrobinę lepsza od poprzedniej, ale niewiele to zmienia. Można co prawda wskazać utwory wyróżniające się, jak „Good Time Music” czy „Shotgun Boogie” ale i one nie mają szansy porwać słuchacza. Jest to niejako muzyka tła, nieprzeszkadzająca ale i nie przykuwająca uwagi. Ponownie zabrakło pomysłów i odwagi stylistycznej, pozwalającej poszerzyć odrobinę zakres prezentowanych blues rockowych zagrywek. Gdyby zapytano mnie jednak, czy warto płyty Elf mieć w swojej kolekcji odpowiedziałbym – oczywiście, że tak. Przede wszystkim debiut, ale i dwa następne longplaye stanowią, do pewnego stopnia, ciekawy obraz epoki muzycznej, w której powstawały. Formacja przytłumiła niestety iskrę Bożą, która towarzyszyła im na etapie nagrywania pierwszej płyty, ale nadal mamy do czynienia z przynajmniej przyzwoitymi dokonaniami. Poza tym Elf jest, bądź co bądź, przyczynkiem do historii rocka pisanej złotymi zgłoskami.

Kuba Kozłowski


Elf was an American rock band founded by singer and bassist Ronnie James Dio, keyboardist Doug Thaler, drummer Gary Driscoll, and guitarists Nick Pantas and David Feinstein (Dio's cousin). The band was originally called The Electric Elves, but was shortened to The Elves and finally Elf in 1972. Elf disbanded in 1975 after recording three albums and after most of the lineup had been absorbed into Ritchie Blackmore's new group, Rainbow.
Ronnie James Dio went on to a successful career in heavy metal, fronting Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell, and his own band, Dio. David Feinstein also found a career in metal, leading the band The Rods for a number of years. Original keyboardist Doug Thaler went on to a career in music management.
Recorded while the band was evolving slowly into the Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Trying to Burn the Sun is the third and final release from Elf, the band that finally earned Ronnie James Dio the attention he had been seeking since the late 50s. After writing and recording a few singles for Blackmore, Dio and Elf were solidly moving in a heavier musical direction.
Trying to Burn the Sun is a great listen for all fans of 70s rock, not only Dio and Rainbow fans.

Co prawda, wkład Elf (nie liczę oczywiście Ronniego Jamesa Dio) ograniczył się do pierwszej płyty Rainbow, ale za to płyty genialnej, pełnej doskonałych melodii, pomysłów i mistrzowsko wykonanej. Być może to właśnie jakość debiutu Rainbow wpływa na moją ocenę ostatnich dokonań Elf przed rozwiązaniem działalności. Bo jaka jest „Trying To Burn The Sun”? Cóż, muzycy trzymają poziom. Tyle, że jest to poziom „Carolina County Ball” a nie ich eponimicznego albumu z 1972 roku.

Płyta jest przeciętna. Odrobinę lepsza od poprzedniej, ale niewiele to zmienia. Można co prawda wskazać utwory wyróżniające się, jak „Good Time Music” czy „Shotgun Boogie” ale i one nie mają szansy porwać słuchacza. Jest to niejako muzyka tła, nieprzeszkadzająca ale i nie przykuwająca uwagi. Ponownie zabrakło pomysłów i odwagi stylistycznej, pozwalającej poszerzyć odrobinę zakres prezentowanych blues rockowych zagrywek. Gdyby zapytano mnie jednak, czy warto płyty Elf mieć w swojej kolekcji odpowiedziałbym – oczywiście, że tak. Przede wszystkim debiut, ale i dwa następne longplaye stanowią, do pewnego stopnia, ciekawy obraz epoki muzycznej, w której powstawały. Formacja przytłumiła niestety iskrę Bożą, która towarzyszyła im na etapie nagrywania pierwszej płyty, ale nadal mamy do czynienia z przynajmniej przyzwoitymi dokonaniami. Poza tym Elf jest, bądź co bądź, przyczynkiem do historii rocka pisanej złotymi zgłoskami.

Kuba Kozłowski


Elf was an American rock band founded by singer and bassist Ronnie James Dio, keyboardist Doug Thaler, drummer Gary Driscoll, and guitarists Nick Pantas and David Feinstein (Dio's cousin). The band was originally called The Electric Elves, but was shortened to The Elves and finally Elf in 1972. Elf disbanded in 1975 after recording three albums and after most of the lineup had been absorbed into Ritchie Blackmore's new group, Rainbow.
Ronnie James Dio went on to a successful career in heavy metal, fronting Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell, and his own band, Dio. David Feinstein also found a career in metal, leading the band The Rods for a number of years. Original keyboardist Doug Thaler went on to a career in music management.
Recorded while the band was evolving slowly into the Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Trying to Burn the Sun is the third and final release from Elf, the band that finally earned Ronnie James Dio the attention he had been seeking since the late 50s. After writing and recording a few singles for Blackmore, Dio and Elf were solidly moving in a heavier musical direction.
Trying to Burn the Sun is a great listen for all fans of 70s rock, not only Dio and Rainbow fans.

Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of PASSING THROUGH – THE COMPLETE STUDIO RECORDINGS, a 6CD boxed set by the unsung heroes of British early ‘70s rock, HELP YOURSELF.

The band was formed in London in 1970, originally as a backing band for singer-songwriter MALCOLM MORLEY and took their influences from American West Coast Country and Acid Rock. After Morley signed to the Famepushers management stable, his manager John Eichler suggested Morley form a new band and HELP YOURSELF was born. Featuring MALCOLM MORLEY (guitars, keyboards, vocals), former Sam Apple Pie member DAVE CHARLES (drums, percussion, vocals), RICHARD TREECE (guitars, vocals, harmonica) and KEN WHALEY (bass), the band signed to United Artists in 1970 and their eponymous debut album was issued in 1971.

Following a tour with label mates Brinsley Schwarz and Ernie Graham (also Famepushers artists), Ken Whaley departed the band. An expanded line-up including Ernie Graham and Jonathan Glemser began work on the album STRANGE AFFAIR in 1972, but Graham and Glemser’s departure half-way through the recording saw roadie Paul Burton join the band to complete the album, (which would include the excellent extended track “The All Electric Fur Trapper”). The band embarked on a tour of Switzerland with Welsh rock legends Man and a bond formed between the two groups. The band’s next album, BEWARE THE SHADOW, was an even stronger effort, featuring the Help’s twelve-minute anthem, “Reaffirmation”, a track that displayed the instrumental excellence of the group. Prior to a tour to promote their most recent album Malcolm Morley fell ill with depression and DEKE LEONARD, recently dismissed from Man, took his place. When Morley recovered, Leonard remained with the band, appearing with them on the CHRISTMAS AT THE PATTI concert in Swansea in December 1972. In early 1973 Deke Leonard departed the band to pursue a solo career and the band began work on the album HAPPY DAYS, a record that also featured THE FLYING ACES (featuring former MAN bassist MARTIN ACE and his wife George) and VIVIAN “SPIV’ MORRIS and spawned a touring musical review featuring all the musicians. Paul Burton’s departure during these sessions saw Ken Whaley return to the band. Work then commenced on another album, THE RETURN OF KEN WHALEY. Both albums were released as a package by United Artists later that year. Although critically acclaimed, commercial success continued to elude the band and Help Yourself were dropped by their record label. A fifth album was recorded at Chipping Norton Studios in Oxfordshire in 1973 but this failed to gain a release for over thirty years. The aborted album led to Help Yourself disbanding, with Malcolm Morley and Ken Whaley joining Man in 1974 for their album Winos, Rhinos and Lunatics. Following his departure from Man, Malcolm Morley recorded a solo album in 1976 that would also remain unreleased for thirty years.

Over four decades on, HELP YOURSELF are now regarded as one of the great, unsung British bands of their era and the songs of Malcolm Morley are recognised as true treasures. PASSING THROUGH – THE COMPLETE STUDIO RECORDINGS is a lovingly compiled boxed set which gathers together the albums HELP YOURSELF, STRANGE AFFAIR, BEWARE THE SHADOW, THE RETURN OF KEN WHALEY / HAPPY DAYS, the unreleased album FIVE , all the band’s non-album singles & Malcolm Morley’s unreleased album LOST & FOUND along with a previously unreleased BBC session & a studio demo.

The set is newly re-mastered from the original master tapes and features an illustrated booklet with rare photographs and a new essay with interviews and a poster and is a tribute to the inspirational music of HELP YOURSELF.

'Ten pięknie wykonany digipack to pozycja obowiązkowa dla każdego fana Tides From Nebula. Album „Instant Rewards” jest dostępny w wysokiej jakości, w starannie zaprojektowanym opakowaniu, w którym każdy szczegół odzwierciedla troskę i poświęcenie włożone w tworzenie muzyki. Od oszałamiającej grafiki po najwyższej jakości materiały, ta płyta CD oferuje naprawdę wciągające doświadczenie, zarówno wizualnie, jak i dźwiękowo. Doskonały dodatek do każdej kolekcji, pokazujący zaangażowanie zespołu w jakość w każdym aspekcie.'

Zespół


Co czyni „Instant Rewards” wyjątkowym, to fakt, że cały album został wyprodukowany samodzielnie przez zespół. Tides From Nebula postanowił wrócić do korzeni i podjąć wyzwanie stworzenia płyty w duchu „do it yourself”. To odważny krok, szczególnie dla zespołu o tak bogatym dorobku, jednak muzycy podkreślają, że dzięki temu mogli oddać w pełni autentyczne brzmienie, na którym im zależało.

„Ten album to wizja będąca najbliżej nas samych. Pracując samodzielnie, mieliśmy pełną kontrolę nad każdym aspektem tworzenia, od kompozycji po finalne brzmienie. To było wyzwanie, ale też niesamowicie satysfakcjonujący proces. ‘Instant Rewards’ to dla nas coś więcej niż tylko kolejna płyta – to nasza odpowiedź na zmiany, które zaszły na świecie i w nas samych” – mówi Maciej Karbowski, gitarzysta zespołu.

Album powstawał w warunkach niezależnych, z dala od komercyjnych studiów nagraniowych, we własnym Nebula Studio, co dodało mu surowości i autentyczności. Dla Tides From Nebula była to szansa na pełne wyrażenie siebie i powrót do korzeni ich twórczości.

„Instant Rewards” to mieszanka surowej energii z początków działalności zespołu oraz dojrzałości artystycznej, którą zdobyli przez lata.

...( Opis )...

Po lekkim wakacyjnym wydawniczym marazmie sezon przedświąteczny prezentuje się całkiem bogato. Wśród wielu zapowiedzianych pozycji, o których będę sukcesywnie pisał, szczególnie interesująco wygląda imponujący box, jakże uwielbianej przeze mnie grupy Camel. Wydawnictwo „Air Born: The MCA & Decca Years 1973-1984” przygotowano z okazji 50-lecia ukazania się pierwszego longplaya formacji. Będzie ono zawierać aż 27 płyt CD (!!!) oraz 5 Blu-Ray’ów.

Zestaw wypełnią zremasterowane wersje wszystkich albumów studyjnych, koncertowych oraz singli zrealizowanych przez Camel dla wytwórni MCA i Decca. Do tego dojdą trzy recitale dla BBC: BBC Radio One „In Concert” – 6 czerwiec 1974, BBC Radio One „In Concert” – 22 kwiecień 1975 oraz BBC „In Concert” – Golders Green Hippodrome – 29 wrzesień 1977. Kolejne trzy koncerty to na nowo zmiksowane występy: „Live at Marquee Club, London” – 20 czerwiec 1974, „Live at Hammersmith Odeon” – 14 kwiecień 1976 oraz „Live at Hammersmith Odeon” – 1 październik 1977. Wszystkie te zapisy były co prawda już publikowane jako bonusy na poprzednich edycjach albumów zespołu, ale w nieco chaotyczny i nieuporządkowany sposób. Teraz będzie można ich wysłuchać w całości. Nader ciekawie i obiecująco przestawiają się studyjne (w większości niepublikowane) bonusy, pochodzące z sesji do poszczególnych albumów. Nie ma ich dużo, ale na pewno przysporzą sporo radości fanom formacji. Odrzutem z pierwszego albumu jest utwór „Sarah”. Aż pięć nagrań, które trafiły na płytę „Mirage”, otrzymamy dodatkowo także we wczesnych wersjach demo z 15 czerwca 1973r. Dwa mniej znane nagrania „Autumn” i „Riverman”, zespół zrealizował gdzieś pomiędzy longplayami „Mirage” i „The Snow Goose”. Krążek „Moonmadness” uzupełnią m.in. trzy studyjne dema. I wreszcie utwór „Captured” z płyty „Nude” usłyszymy we wczesnej, nieznanej dotąd wersji.

Jakby tego było mało, albumy „Camel”, „Mirage”, „The Snow Goose”, „Moonmadness” i „Nude” otrzymujemy także w zupełnie nowych miksach stereo oraz 5.1. Ogromna szkoda, że w podobny sposób nie opracowano pozostałych płyt. Być może nie udało się odnaleźć taśm z zapisami wielośladowymi?

Jeśli chodzi o materiały wideo, to poza paroma klipami i fragmentami występów z TV znajdą się tam koncerty: BBC TV „The Old Grey Whistle Test” – 21 czerwiec 1975, Live at Hammersmith Odeon – 1 październik 1977 oraz film „Pressure Points”. Pudełko uzupełni oczywiście gruba książka oraz plakat.

The box features 27 CDs & five blu-rays and includes newly remastered versions of every Camel album and single issued between 1973 and 1984, but also includes new stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound versions of five albums, as well as new mixes of three concerts; The Marquee Club, London 1974, Hammersmith Odeon 1976 and Hammersmith Odeon 1977.

The package also features previously unreleased outtakes from album recording sessions and BBC Radio ‘In Concert’ appearances from 1974, 1975, 1977 and 1981.




Emerging just in time to honour the 50th anniversary of their debut album, Air Born is a sprawling boxed set which, as the title implies, celebrates their years spent with MCA and Decca. This was not always a happy time in terms of the band's relationship with Decca; in particular, after Andy Ward suffered a mental health crisis and attempted suicide, Andrew Latimer wanted to put the band on hiatus for a while to give Ward a chance to recuperate, but heartlessly Decca demanded that Camel put out a new studio album anyway - and pressured them to make it commercially friendly on top of that - which is what led to the critical stumble of The Single Factor.
Still, musically speaking this covers the music which Camel built their legacy on and more besides. Full remasters (and, for some select albums, additional stereo remixes) of all the Camel studio releases from their debut to Stationary Traveller are, naturally, included, along with a range of supplementary material ranging from unreleased studio tracks through to full live performances.

Much of this stuff has emerged in one form or another as bonus tracks over time, but there are a few significant bits of material which are new to this release. The major scoop of the collection is the full demo tape the band recorded in between their debut album and Mirage, which finds early versions of almost all the Mirage tracks present - only Freefall from that album is missing, and instead we get The Traveller, a Uriah Heep-ish piece which seems to have been abandoned as being more in keeping with their debut album's sound than Mirage's. In terms of sound quality, the demo is top notch, and captures the band's musical growth since they recorded their self-titled album marvellously, forming a hitherto-missing link between that and Mirage.

As for the live material, this is largely a mixture of BBC sessions and material released elsewhere, though there are enhancements and additions here and there. Early live performances include the take on God of Light Revisited originally recorded for the Greasy Truckers - Live At Dingwalls Dance Hall release, a funky, Santana-influenced piece. Again, this has been fairly widely repackaged as a bonus track on some issue or other over the years.

BBC sessions here include a June 1974 recording showcasing the band fresh from the release of Mirage, a more expansive 1975 offering giving extensive extracts from The Snow Goose (with the band on excellent form and proving they didn't need the orchestra to evoken the album's magic live), their excellent appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test, and a 1977 Sight and Sound In Concert appearance from the Rain Dances lineup primarily focused on that album but also including great takes on Snow Goose material, Never Let Go from the debut, and an absolutely stellar take on Lunar Sea from Moonmadness. Much of this material has shown up as bonus tracks or on bootlegs over the years, but it's nice to get it in fairly definitive versions here.

Rather than presenting A Live Record in either its original or expanded configurations, the box instead offers the complete original live recordings from the different shows which made up that release. This includes a full set from the Marquee Club in October 1974, in which the band both burn through excellent renditions of Mirage-era material and road test compositions which would later make it onto The Snow Goose. The sound quality on this is remarkably good - perhaps the best of any of the pre-Goose live offerings here - and it's interesting how the Snow Goose compositions differ to account for the lack of an orchestra in tow.

Naturally, there's also the Royal Albert Hall full performance of The Snow Goose with orchestra from 1975, which would form the basis of the second disc of A Live Record; this is enhanced by an encore performance of Lady Fantasy, skillfully adapted to account for the orchestra.

We also get a full concert set from the Hammersmith Odeon in 1976; previously only smatterings of this had been borrowed for the extended CD version of A Live Record or on some reissues of Moonmadness, but having the full show to hand in its original running order is excellent. There's a few technical issues audible - notably some faint buzzing on a few tracks which could be down to the original tapes having an issue or might be indicative of some of the band's equipment having a bit of a moment, but this is a mild blemish easily overlooked, especially since some care seems to have been taken here to tidy up the lives tapes as best as possible.

This live set is especially valuable since it provides a final showcase for the original lineup of Camel - some would say the classic lineup - prior to personnel shifts and their Rain Dances-era drift into a Canterbury-influenced direction. You get Latimer, Ward, Ferguson, and Bardens at the absolute top of their game, with a setlist drawn from some of the greatest albums not just in the Camel discography but in the progressive rock pantheon as a whole, with the setlist finally presented on disc more or less as it was conceived to be delivered onstage; when you think about it, that's absolutely fantastic.

The band return to the Odeon in 1977 for a barnstorming set which, along with some stray tracks from other venues rounding off the Live Record material. The 1977 Odeon show is the fullest document of the Rain Dances lineup live on this set, and it's absolutely superb. Between that and the tracks from Bristol and Leeds, the Rain Dances period ends up being the era of the band that's perhaps best-represented by live material here (with The Snow Goose period a close second).

Other live material in the collection includes a tightened-up reissue of the BBC session previously released as On the Road 1981 (including two tracks - Summer Lightning and Ice - not included on previous releases of the BBC session) and, lastly, a remaster of Pressure Points.

Most prog fans will have at least some of the material here - though the new mixes of Camel, Mirage, The Snow Goose, Moonmadness, and Nude are good enough to be worth dipping into (and the previous mixes are also presented so you can judge which you prefer) - but even Camel fanatics probably won't have all of it. If you've got significant gaps to fill in your Camel collection - or if the prospect of all those live goodies have you salivating - it's highly worthwhile, offering the lion's share of their output in one package.

..::OPIS::..

Po lekkim wakacyjnym wydawniczym marazmie sezon przedświąteczny prezentuje się całkiem bogato. Wśród wielu zapowiedzianych pozycji, o których będę sukcesywnie pisał, szczególnie interesująco wygląda imponujący box, jakże uwielbianej przeze mnie grupy Camel. Wydawnictwo „Air Born: The MCA & Decca Years 1973-1984” przygotowano z okazji 50-lecia ukazania się pierwszego longplaya formacji. Będzie ono zawierać aż 27 płyt CD (!!!) oraz 5 Blu-Ray’ów.

Zestaw wypełnią zremasterowane wersje wszystkich albumów studyjnych, koncertowych oraz singli zrealizowanych przez Camel dla wytwórni MCA i Decca. Do tego dojdą trzy recitale dla BBC: BBC Radio One „In Concert” – 6 czerwiec 1974, BBC Radio One „In Concert” – 22 kwiecień 1975 oraz BBC „In Concert” – Golders Green Hippodrome – 29 wrzesień 1977. Kolejne trzy koncerty to na nowo zmiksowane występy: „Live at Marquee Club, London” – 20 czerwiec 1974, „Live at Hammersmith Odeon” – 14 kwiecień 1976 oraz „Live at Hammersmith Odeon” – 1 październik 1977. Wszystkie te zapisy były co prawda już publikowane jako bonusy na poprzednich edycjach albumów zespołu, ale w nieco chaotyczny i nieuporządkowany sposób. Teraz będzie można ich wysłuchać w całości. Nader ciekawie i obiecująco przestawiają się studyjne (w większości niepublikowane) bonusy, pochodzące z sesji do poszczególnych albumów. Nie ma ich dużo, ale na pewno przysporzą sporo radości fanom formacji. Odrzutem z pierwszego albumu jest utwór „Sarah”. Aż pięć nagrań, które trafiły na płytę „Mirage”, otrzymamy dodatkowo także we wczesnych wersjach demo z 15 czerwca 1973r. Dwa mniej znane nagrania „Autumn” i „Riverman”, zespół zrealizował gdzieś pomiędzy longplayami „Mirage” i „The Snow Goose”. Krążek „Moonmadness” uzupełnią m.in. trzy studyjne dema. I wreszcie utwór „Captured” z płyty „Nude” usłyszymy we wczesnej, nieznanej dotąd wersji.

Jakby tego było mało, albumy „Camel”, „Mirage”, „The Snow Goose”, „Moonmadness” i „Nude” otrzymujemy także w zupełnie nowych miksach stereo oraz 5.1. Ogromna szkoda, że w podobny sposób nie opracowano pozostałych płyt. Być może nie udało się odnaleźć taśm z zapisami wielośladowymi?
