...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

Nareszcie w pojedynczej wersji i z doskonałym dźwiękiem!
Eyes Of Blue to protegowani Grahama Bonda (który na debiut użyczył im dwa nagrania) i zarazem kultowy, choć wciąż mocno niedoceniony, brytyjski zespół osadzony w stylistyce końca lat 60-tych, a łączący elementy późnej psychodelii i wczesnego prog-rocka (m.in. nawiązania do muzyki klasycznej) - coś w stylistyce bardziej 'przybrudzonych' Procol Harum z pierwszych dwóch albumów. Hammondy, melotron, przesterowane gitary i świetny wokal Gary Pickford-Hopkinsa - znanego potem z Wild Turkey.

To jest prawdziwa gratka dla miłośników grania spod znaku Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, Velvett Fogg, Pesky Gee, debiutu Man, 'dwójki' zespołu Plastic Penny, itd. Dodatkowo umieszczono trzy nagrania z wcześniejszych, rhythm'n'bluesowym singli w stylistyce The Artwoods i The Action.



UK psychedelia moved into prog rock with spices of hard rock in the late sixties, some even coined a new label to describe the strong textures resulting of the mixture of rockier blues sounds, jazz, revolutionized freakbeat and the hardest side of popsike - ‘heavy psych’. Amongst the best works of the era were the two splendid LPs recorded by Welsh band Eyes Of Blue.

The Eyes Of Blue where formed in 1966 and soon won the Melody Maker Beat Contest, a fact that secured them a recording deal with Deram records. The label issued their first 45s, they were good but -due to company pressure- more Blue Eyed Soul or even bubblegum oriented. By the time they released their first LP, on Mercury, their real sound had surfaced, showing influences by some of the coolest bands from the US West Coast like The Doors or Love, and also counted on the help of Graham Bond, who penned some of the most significant tunes on the album. Heavily Hammond organ driven athmospheres taking things one step further than The Nice, guitar pyrotechnics, an excellent vocal work, some eastern influenced guitar raga, a great taste in choosing cover versions and strong songwriting make Crossroads Of Time one of the best progressive LPs from 1968.
