..::OPIS::..

The definitive collection of After The Fire, 'Bright Lights' contains all of the bands five albums as well as demos, B-sides and live tracks, with 12 recordings that are issued here on CD for the first time and 14 that are completely unreleased.

The project has been overseen by founding member Peter Banks who, along with members Andy Piercy and John Russell, has been interviewed exclusively for the sleeve notes and has also opened up his photo archive, providing a wealth of rare images.

Disc One features the band's debut album 'Signs Of Change' as well as bonus tracks.

Disc Two contains three early demos, previously unreleased on CD as well as 13 previously unreleased demos recorded in preparation for 'Laser Love'.

Disc Three features 'Laser Love' that includes hit single 'One Rule For You' as well as rare single edits, B-sides and live tracks.

Disc Four includes '80-f' as well as nine recordings that have never been issued on CD before, including rare B-sides and seven tracks from the original version of '80f'.

Disc Five contains 'Batteries Not Included' and two bonus tracks.

Disc Six features 'AT2F', one track unreleased on CD, a completely unreleased track as well as a rare extended version of the band's hit 'Der Kommissar'.



After the Fire (known in North America simply as ATF) appear on this site because they released one prog album, this is not it. The band's first album "Signs of change" was for many years a collectible prog rarity, although it has in recent years become more readily available on CD. After the limited release of their debut, ATF signed with CBS records (in 1978), and completely revamped their style and sound. What emerged was a band who had moved with the times, and reinvented themselves as an electronic new wave outfit with a focus on short pop orientated songs. During this phase, keyboards player Peter Banks changed his name to Memory Banks, purportedly to avoid confusion with the ex-Yes man. Prior to work commencing on the album bassist Nick Battle left the band, with guitarist Andy Piercy switching to bass and new guitarist John Russell stepping in.

"Laser love", which emerged in 1979, proved to be something of a hotchpotch album, involving 5 different producers including Muff Winwood, Rupert Prine and the band themselves. Understandably this impacts on the continuity of the album, but perhaps in the new age era such things were less important. The LP has the standard pop structure of two sides containing 5 songs of radio friendly length and structure. The best known of these is probably the chart single "One rule for you" but in reality it is interchangeable with most of the tracks on the album.

Put simply, there is nothing prog about this album. at all. Tracks such as "Laser love" and "One rule for you" offer decent quality pop with a punk tinge, but that is all they offer. There are similarities with the Boomtown Rats in particular, the punk connections being similarly superficial in nature. Most of the tracks feature dominant synth backing tracks, which now sound very much of their time, but back in 1979 would have still been rather novel. In that sense, the band were one of the leaders towards the sounds of the 80's.

There are two slight exceptions to the new wave/punk pop, and that is the instrumentals "Joy" and "Timestar". While still firmly rooted in pop, these virtuoso synth performances are superb workouts, and its lots of fun too. The latter seems to be loosely based on "Telstar", a classic single from the early 1960's.

Many bands have made transitions form one genre to another. Such changes can often be a firm indication of ambition, and a willingness to test the waters in others areas. In most cases though, vestiges of the bands previous work can be heard somewhere along the way. It is rare for a band to make such a substantial and dramatic change from one album to the next as we witness here. The only link between ATF's first album and this one is that the line up is substantially the same. In its own right, this is not a bad new wave/punk pop album. That though is all that it is.

..::INFO::..

Trace to holenderskie trio grające rock progresywny. Zespół został założony przez Ricka van der Lindena w 1974 roku po odejściu trzech muzyków z innego holenderskiego zespołu Ekseption. Powstali w 1974 roku i wydali swój debiutancki album „Trace” w 1974 roku. Muzykę zespołu charakteryzowały złożone aranżacje i skomplikowana praca instrumentalna, a ich kompozycje często zawierały mieszankę rocka, jazzu i wpływów klasycznych. Trace wydało w sumie trzy albumy. Trace było dość popularne w Europie i zyskało lojalnych fanów wśród fanów rocka progresywnego. Jednak nigdy nie osiągnęło powszechnego sukcesu komercyjnego i rozpadło się pod koniec lat 70., ponownie łącząc się z Ekseption. Pomimo tego muzyka zespołu nadal jest doceniana przez fanów rocka progresywnego.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

Limitowana i mocno rozszerzona edycja wydanego oryginalnie w 1972 roku trzeciego i zarazem ostatniego albumu grających ciężkiego, progresywnego rocka Szwedów. Uwaga! Tytuł longplaya nie oznaczał 'szóstego' albumu ale nawiązywał do daty 6 listopada 1632 roku - dnia śmierci króla Gustawa II Adolfa w bitwie pod Lützen - uwiecznionej zresztą na pięknej okładce... Muzycznie jest to chyba najbardziej zróżnicowana płyta zespołu, który z jednej strony zaprezentował jedne ze swoich najcięższych, gitarowych riffów i agresywnych brzmień, ale jednocześnie nie stronił od łagodniejszych fragmentów. Tak czy inaczej - świetne, klasyczne granie z początku lat 70.! Dodatkowo dołączono 3 mocno rozbudowane, koncertowe utwory z 1971 roku, trwające razem aż 26 minut i wydane po latach na 'November Live'!

JL

Trzeci i ostatni album tria, „6:e November” pojawił się w sklepach w 1972 roku. Okładką albumu była kopia XIX wiecznego obrazu szwedzkiego malarza Carla Wahlboma „Śmierć króla Gustawa II Adolfa w bitwie pod Lützen”; artysta przedstawił tu historyczne wydarzenie z 16 listopada 1632 roku. Tak na marginesie, Gustaw II kilka lat wcześniej napsuł nam, Polakom sporo krwi zajmując część naszych Prus Książęcych. Pogoniliśmy go i jego armię w bitwie pod Lubiszewem-Tczewem 18 sierpnia 1627 roku.

Wracając do płyty trzeba stwierdzić, że ci goście naprawdę mieli talent do pisania świetnych kawałków. Po raz kolejny otrzymaliśmy bardzo dobre, ciężkie utwory z mocną perkusją, ładnymi riffami i znakomitymi solówkami gitarowymi. Nieczęsto zdarza się, by wszystkie kompozycje były tak równe i bardzo spójne, a to sprawia, że ​​trudno wskazać faworytów. Niektóre, choćby taki jak „Rödluvan” są piekielnie mocne i sprawiają, że ​​mam ciary przy ich słuchaniu. Nic nie ujmując pozostałym do moich faworytów zaliczam otwierający płytę numer inspirowany Santaną, „Starka Tillsammans”, ponury „Februari” i epicki „Kommer Langsamt”. Całość to iście muzyczny testosteron buzujący w ciele i umyśle!

Tuż po koncercie w klubie Domino w Sylwestra 1972 roku zespół się rozwiązał. Dokładnie rok później Christer Stålbrandt założył heavy progresywną formację Saga, z którą wydał bardzo udaną, niestety tylko jedną płytę „Saga” (1974). Perkusista Björn Inge dołączył do jazz-rockowego Energy, a gitarzysta Richard Rolf po epizodzie z Bash zasilił (na krótko) Nature...

November do dziś uważany jest w Szwecji za jeden z najbardziej legendarnych zespołów. I wcale mnie to nie dziwi!

Los Jaivas to legendarny chilijski zespół rockowy założony w 1963 roku w Vina del Mar. Grupa jest uznawana za jednego z pionierów łączenia rocka progresywnego z tradycyjną muzyką Ameryki Łacińskiej, zwłaszcza brzmieniami andyjskimi. Ich twórczość wyróżnia się wykorzystaniem instrumentów takich jak charango, quena czy zampona obok klasycznych gitar, fortepianu i perkusji. Zespół zdobył międzynarodowe uznanie dzięki unikalnemu stylowi oraz ambitnym projektom muzycznym, takim jak album Alturas de Machu Picchu, inspirowany poezją Pablo Neruda. Trzon grupy stanowili m.in. Eduardo Parra, Claudio Parra, Gabriel Parra oraz Eduardo Gato Alquinta. Pomimo zmian personalnych i trudnych momentów, w tym emigracji podczas dyktatury w Chile, Los Jaivas pozostali aktywni i wpływowi przez dekady. Dziś są uznawani za ikonę kultury latynoamerykańskiej, a ich muzyka stanowi pomost między tradycją a nowoczesnością. Wstawka zawiera piąty album studyjny Los Jaivas.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

Wydany we jesienią 1972 roku trzeci, dwupłytowy na winylu album tej wspaniałej, niemieckiej formacji był kwintesencją tego co najlepsze w jazzującym rocku progresywnym! Kiedyś uważałem, że 'trójka' jest słabsza od nieco bardziej przystępnych (zwięzłych) poprzedników, jednak byłem w błędzie! Co prawda na 'Four Letter' jest więcej trąbienia, więcej improwizacji (zwłaszcza w wypełniającej dwie strony winylu... 50-minutowej suicie) a trochę mniej gitary, jednakże narastających stopniowo emocji nie brakuje a muzyka częstokroć autentycznie zapierała dech w piersiach! To wciąż był ten sam zespół, ale grający trudniejszy materiał na nieco większym luzie. W porównaniu z Out Of Focus działające wówczas i opętane stylistyką 'fusion' bardziej uznane formacje, jak Soft Machine, Nucleus czy większośc grup z Canterbury po prostu nie miały startu!
Niestety, to był ostatni, katalogowy album grupy. Niemal cały, drugi dysk wypełniony został niepublikowanym materiałem z tej samej sesji nagraniowej a wydanej w 2002 na CD 'Rat Roads' a także dołączono ostatni, 10-minutowy, koncertowy kawałek z Palermo z 1972 roku. Doskonały dźwięk - nieco klarowniejszy niż na dawnych edycjach CD, no i płyta zawiera fajniejszy booklet ponownie gromadzący kilka rzadkich zdjęć tego kapitalnego zespołu! Ten podwójny CD trwa aż 156 minut!

JL

The peak of achievement from this uber-talented band from München, Bundesrepublik Deutschland: a 94-minute of finely polished music. Just remember that there was at least another 94 minutes of excess music from these recording sessions that was left on the cutting room floor or studio shelves gathering dust until someone saw fit to dust them off and publish them on two albums, released in 1999 and 2002, respectively.
LP 1 (46:07): 1. "L.S.B." (17:37) very much like some evolved Big Band jazz--taking Don Ellis a bit further in terms of incorporating elements of avant/free jazz and electronics, but also quite a bit more reigned in in terms of the use of odd time signatures. Still, the song is quite entertaining for its multiple sax-connected multiple motifs covering a range of styles and tempos. There are a lot of elements of blues-rock at the core of a lot of this music (one can still hear the band that did Wake Up! just two years before). I really like the KINGSTON WALL-like vocal motif in the last third of the song. (31.75/35)

2. "When I'm Sleeping" (4:04) sounds like THE ROLLING STONES if they tried covering PETER HAMMILL song as well as a smooth Motown tune for the chorus and instrumental section. Hennse Hering's old-time saloon-like piano play in the background is a delight, as is Stephen Wishen's bass JAMES JAMERSON-like play and the sax work. I don't know why, but the recording of the drums is rather poor. This may be my favorite vocal performance from Moran. (9/10)

3. "Tsajama" (9:23) a great guitar and flute intro leads into an awesome motif with heavy organ and low bass notes weighing things down beneath the flute, guitars, and smoothly-drawn lines coming from the full horn section. Awesome in a Brian Auger/Eumir Deodato kind of way. Remigius Drechsler leads the way with his searing guitar play in the second and third minutes before Hennse's Hammond and the orgasmically-smooth horn section join in to double and back him. Such a great groove! In the second half of the sixth minute the horns, Hammond, and guitars back off and Moran enters in a singing capacity, using Japanese as his language. Interesting. Then he runs off into some poorly-synched scatting in the seventh minute before returning to leading the smoother, multi-channel melody in Japanese in the eighth. But then the band ramps up the pace and breadth of sound dynamics with a return of the horn section, inspiring Moran to gallop off with some more interesting horse-like vocalese scatting(?). (19/20)

4. "Black Cards" (9:38) a gentle weave of organ and electric guitar arpeggi opens this before flute, hand drums, and a second guitar join in. At the one-minute mark the bass jumps on board, ushering the band into a full blues-rock sound palette over which Moran turns back to his Mick Jagger voice for another vocal performance that reminds me of Mick singing his Slow Horses theme song. A return to the opening theme at the end of the third minute allows for a kind of 30-second reset from which they emerge with a VAN MORRISON "Moondance"-like motif over which Hennse solos on his Wurlitzer-sounding organ. This is a great, extended instrumental section with some gorgeous and dynamic flute soloing throughout. At the end we return to the blues swing theme for Moran to finish things off with his Moves Like Jagger. (18/20)

5. "Where Have You Been" (5:35) a gorgeous folk-rock song with one of Moran's most moving and melodic vocal performances. Powerful. Incredible flute solo in the "C" part: heart-wrenching. I know that Moran (and maybe his bandmates) had a very strong moral compass. We are so blessed to have the legacy of their passion and courage. (9.5/10)

Disc One earns itself a five star rating.

LP 2 (48:09): 6. "A Huchen 55" (9:19) opens with mutliple flutes winding and wending their way through a rondo weave for two minutes before giving way to a faded in psychedelic blues-rock jam (that was already in progress). Hammond organ takes the first solo over the bass, drums, and guitar support. At the three-minute mark, a panoply of horns join in, each playing their own melody line but securing their comraderie through mutually-respective pauses and breaks. The music coming from the rhythm section beneath kind of hits a "I'm a Man" pulse-and-let-off pattern as the horns continue their fascinating and almost humorous interplay. In the seventh minute, electric guitar and Hammond start to inject their own flourishes and melodic ideas. By the eighth minute the horn players are starting to tire--and eventually peter out for a full minute or more while the Hammond and sassy electric guitar share a quirky little conversation of quips and epithets. At the end of the ninth minute, then, the bluesy jazz music is fadeout (the same way it came in) replaced by the flute weave that opened the song. (18/20)

7. "Huchen 55, B" (14:32) opening with the flute weave from the previous song bleeding over, a new already-in- progress R&B jam is faded in. The James Jamerson-like bass play that drives the music is once again emitting waves of groovy Motown sound, but this soon fades out to be replaced by Moran's solo flute play. He sounds so much as if he's trying to imitate the breathy play of maestro Jean-Pierre Rampal. Jazz guitars, trumpet, Hammond, each take their turn joining in beneath Moran's increasingly-avat garde flute stylings. In the seventh minute trumpeter Jimmy Polivka tries usurping the lead from Moran, but it is not that easy: Moran is riding along on pure inspiration. So Jimmy gives up. Hennse and Remigius each take their own turns, trying to nudge Moran out, but Herr Hering only seems to get stronger--until the 9:00 mark: then he gives way, sits back and lets the music unfold without him. The band seem to rise to the occasion with a JEFFERSON AIRPLANE-like creativity: slowly, carefully, deliberately. Hennse's excited Hammond is kept at bay via repressed volume, which allows the horns to have their time. In the twelfth minute Remigius steps to the fore and lays out one awesome blues-rock solo. The band is really into the jam here: fully entrained with everyone clicking--expelling their full creative juices. Awesome! Despite its looseness and lack of plan or developmental structure, this song plays out with some infectious power. Moran's multi-flute weave is once again used to bridge this song with the next one. (27/30)

8. "Huchen 55, C" (24:18) What a jam! Wild and crazy: from Moran's lyrics and vocal performance (sounding like a reckless/uninhibited Mick Jagger channeling PETER HAMMILL through DAMO SUZUKI) to the reckless abandon with which everyone blasts and grooves out their passion. I mean, it feels as if everyone, all at once, is given the total green light to play whatever they feel inspired to play. This makes for some very creative and memorable solos--especially from the horn players (the multitude of saxes are of special note), percussionist, and Hennse's Hammond organ. Definitely Krautrock. Definitely hypnotic in a "Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys"-kind of way--a sound that would also seem to indicate the use of mind altering substances. The song's final three minutes are particularly entertaining for the frenetic yet-respectful free-for-all that gradually peters out, making way for yet another reprise of Moran's multi-flute weave. (45.5/50)

Disc Two earns itself a 4.5/5 star rating.

Total Time: 94:16

A-/five stars; a minor masterpiece of wonderfully-creative First Wave Jazz-Rock Fusion. One can definitely trace the influences and inspirations for each song on several levels but in the end the boys have achieved a mastery of their instruments and goals, enabling them to merge admirably their Krautrock influences with the Blues-Rock and Jazz- Rock Fusion trends they've been hearing. As with every other reviewer I've read, it's too bad this band didn't stay together.

With regards to the controversy of whether or not this album (or band) deserves to belong to the Jazz-Rock Fusion sub-genre, I will only say that over the course of the band's three album evolution it has definitely flowed toward Jazz-Rock (though it has also picked up a strong Krautrock foundation as well). This is 1972! Jazz-Rock Fusion was still in it's childhood! The dominant styles and sounds were still as-yet undecided. Herbie Hancock and Mahavishnu John McLaughlin were still evolving! Rapidly! Many bands like Out Of Focus were offering up a wide range of their own personal interpretations--which is one of the most exciting and refreshing aspects of J-R F's "First Wave."

John Anthony Gillis (ur. 9 lipca 1975 w Detroit), znany także jako Jack White III – amerykański muzyk, kompozytor, wokalista, autor tekstów i multiinstrumentalista polskiego pochodzenia, a także producent muzyczny oraz okazjonalnie aktor, najbardziej znany jako gitarzysta i wokalista zespołu The White Stripes. W latach 90. White był tymczasowym muzykiem w różnych undergroundowych grupach muzycznych w Detroit, pracując jednocześnie jako tapicer. White stworzył The White Stripes w 1997 roku wraz z Meg White, jego ówczesną żoną. Zespół wydał serię przyjętych z uznaniem albumów a trzeci z nich, White Blood Cells z 2001 roku, wyniósł grupę do statusu międzynarodowej gwiazdy. Jack uplasowany został na 70. miejscu listy stu gitarzystów wszech czasów magazynu Rolling Stone. Wstawka zawiera siódmy, najnowszy album studyjny artysty.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

Nowa, limitowana, mocno rozszerzona i świetnie brzmiąca edycja drugiego albumu wydanego oryginalnie przez szwedzki Sonet w 1971 roku. Dla wielu fanów jest to szczytowe osiągnięcie zespołu i jeden z najważniejszych albumów skandynawskiego hard rocka początku lat 70. Na 'dwójce' zespół ponownie zaproponował intensywny, ciężki blues-rock z progresywnymi elementami a jednocześnie rozwinął pomysły z debiutu. Przez to brzmienie stało się cięższe, bardziej zwarte i jeszcze bardziej gitarowe. Płyta zawiera mnóstwo rozbudowanych, ekspresyjnych solówek, a sekcja rytmiczna grała jak klasyczne, wczesne brytyjskie power trio. Dodatkowo dołączono aż 27 minut (6 nagrań) materiału bonusowego: 2 nagrania z rzadkich singli oraz 4 doskonale brzmiące kawałki koncertowe z 1971 roku i wydane po latach na CD/LP 'November Live'! Ponownie wytwórnia Once Again wiernie zreprodukowała grafiki z oryginalnego, rozkładanego longplaya - po prostu nieobecne na starym wydaniu '2LP na 1CD'.

JL

Na drugim krążku zniknął fantastyczny flet, który zastąpiono okazjonalnymi partiami klawiszy (fortepian, organy). Z tego też powodu niektórzy uważają, że „dwójka” jest nieco słabsza. Moim zdaniem nic bardziej mylnego. Klawisze nie zaszkodziły zespołowi w utrzymaniu ciężkiego brzmienia. Mówi się, że listopad to najbardziej zapłakany miesiąc w roku. Kiedy za oknem, w czarną jak smoła nocą wyje wiatr, a deszcz bębni w szyby wystarczy iskra, mały płomyk w kominku, a smoła zmienia się w mleko. I tak jest właśnie z tymi klawiszami – dają płycie odrobinę ciepła i blasku. Tak jak na przykład w utworze „Sista resan” otwierającym płytę, gdzie liryczny, miękki fortepian idzie w parze z psychodeliczną gitarą. Cudeńko trwające ledwie dwie i pół minuty a ściska gardło. No, ale potem robi się już ciężko w stylu Black Sabbath („Men mitt hjärta ska vara gjort av sten”, „På väg” ), lub Hendrixa („Mina fotspår fylls av vatten”, „Mouchka”, „Ganska långt från Sergel”). I choć bas Stålbrandta nadal zapewnia połowę cudownie luźnego i ciężkiego brzmienia zespołu na płycie obok bluesa „En lång dag är över”, którego nie mogło zabraknąć pojawiło się też skoczne boogie („En ny tid är här”), a nawet dwie instrumentalne miniaturki: klimatyczna „Och så en morgon…” i żartobliwa „Asthamahgurchk”.

..::OPIS::..

First in an ongoing series of box sets celebrating the life and times of this incredible musician.

This 8CD collection includes John’s six solo albums, each with bonus material which have been fully remastered by Maor Appelbaum.

Also included are 2CDs of extremely rare and hard-to-find bonus material, especially curated by Rick Nelson, long-time Wetton archivist and John’s close friend. This material is a treasure trove of wonders for the true Wetton fan.

Presented in a 12x12” box, this collection also features an extensive 64 page book with notes written by Nick Shilton, author of John’s biography, An Extraordinary Life and artwork by Michael Inns, long-time friend and collaborator of John’s.

This box set has been carefully curated with the blessing of John’s wife Lisa and son Dylan and is released with the full support of the Wetton estate.

From his beginnings in the genre defining King Crimson, to the inventive, early prog supergroup UK, to the all-conquering prog-pop behemoth that was Asia and the many projects in-between, John Wetton was revered as a colossus of the progressive rock world.

Not only did he front three of the most successful progressive rock bands of all-time, John also enjoyed stints with Roxy Music, Family, Uriah Heep and Wishbone Ash. His list of collaborators is a veritable Who’s Who of the rock music world. In addition John released no fewer than six solo albums! Thus he is rightly seen as a true song writing visionary and one of the greatest bass players that ever lived.

From the committed prog connoisseur to the prog-pop fan of Asia, Wetton’s appeal is broad and deep. This extensive collection is the perfect entry point to appreciating and understanding the many colourful facets of John Wetton’s musical personality and is the perfect illustration of his extraordinary life.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

Wydany we wrześniu 1971 roku kapitalny, drugi album progresywnych Niemców mocno przypominał mocno jethrotullowski (z domieszką Pink Floyd i Colosseum) debiut (ponownie 6 utworów trwających blisko 50 minut), ale był dziełem nieco bardziej jazzującym, jeszcze bardziej zainspirowanym twórczością uwielbianej i bardzo wpływowej w Niemczech grupy Colosseum. To jest kolejny CD bez żadnych wypełniaczy! Tak, jak na genialnym debiucie, dołączono 3 koncertowe utwory (z włoskiego Palermo z maja 1972) trwające razem 30 minut! Doskonały dźwięk - nieco klarowniejszy niż na dawnej edycji Ohrwashl z 1991, no i płyta zawiera fajniejszy booklet ponownie gromadzący kilka rzadkich zdjęć tego kapitalnego zespołu!

UWAGA! Umieszczony na końcu płyty krótki dźwięk zegara z kukułką pojawiał się zawsze na koniec każdej winylowej strony albumów wytwórni Kuckuck a dotychczas nie był uwzględniany!

Niemiecki zespół Out of Focus swoją nazwę zaczerpnął od tytułu utworu grupy Blue Cheer, z kultowego albumu "Vincebus Eruptum". Nie jest to jednak dobry trop, jeśli chodzi o muzyczne inspiracje. Twórczość zespołu najłatwiej określić za pomocą terminu krautrock. Chcąc być bardziej precyzyjnym, należałoby uściślić, że grupa w mniej więcej równym stopniu czerpała z brytyjskiego proga, hard rocka i bluesa, dodając do tego odrobinę psychodelii i folku, by z czasem zwrócić się w bardziej jazzrockowymowym kierunku. W składzie, oprócz oczywiście gitarzysty, basisty i perkusisty, był także klawiszowiec i (pełniący również obowiązki wokalisty) flecista.

Debiutancki album Out of Focus, "Wake Up!", ukazał się pod koniec 1970 roku i przyniósł bardzo jednorodną muzykę na pograniczu blues rocka (partie gitary), hard rocka w stylu Deep Purple (organy elektryczne) i folku (flet). Longplay ma raczej luźny, jamowy charakter, jednak improwizacje muzyków są pozbawione kreatywności. Muzycy poczynili znaczne postępy na swoim kolejnym wydawnictwie, zatytułowanym po prostu "Out of Focus". To wciąż bardzo swobodne granie, ale znacznie ciekawsze. Instrumentarium poszerzyło się o saksofon i pianino, co jakby automatycznie popchnęło muzyków w bardziej jazzowe rejony. Może i nie mają oni szczególnie wielkich umiejętności improwizatorskich, ale słucha się tego naprawdę fantastycznie. Gitarzysta i klawiszowiec grają bardziej kreatywnie i różnorodnie, niż na poprzednim albumie, a sekcja rytmiczna zapewnia im niebanalny akompaniament. Dobrą wiadomością jest też to, że Moran Neumüller tym razem skupia się głównie na grze na saksofonie (lub, rzadziej, flecie), zamiast na śpiewaniu, bo jego wokal jest zdecydowanie najsłabszym ogniwem zespołu.

Cieszy także większa różnorodność kompozycji. W otwierającym całość, energetycznym "What Can a Poor Boy Do (But to Be a Streetfighting Man)" słychać jeszcze purplowe naleciałości debiutu, choć gra muzyków jakby stała się bardziej wyrafinowana, a długie solówki saksofonu i mocno jazzujące przełamanie w drugiej połowie jednoznacznie pokazują w jakim kierunku muzycy postanowili się rozwijać. W "It's Your Life" zespół całkowicie zmienia klimat - to bardziej piosenkowy utwór, w którym partie gitary akustycznej i fletu dodają folkowego klimatu. "Whispering" po niezbyt obiecującym wstępie, zmienia się w fantastyczny, jazz-krautowy popis instrumentalny, zyskujący z każdą minutą. "Blue Sunday Morning" wyróżnia się bardziej wyrazistą melodią i świetnym, folkowo-psychodelicznym klimatem (trochę w stylu wczesnego Pink Floyd). Partie fletu, organów, basu i perkusji są naprawdę dobre, a nawet partia wokalna wypada wyjątkowo udanie. Szkoda tylko, że wyczekiwany od początku punkt kulminacyjny nie nadchodzi, a zamiast tego otrzymujemy pozbawione kreatywności przedłużanie. Utwór mógłby być o połowę krótszy i tylko by na tym zyskał. Zespół rehabilituje się naprawdę zgrabnym, balladowym "Fly Bird Fly", w którym nie ma ani jednego zbędnego dźwięku. Finałowy "Television Program" z początku jest dość nudny, przegadany. Kiedy jednak Neumüller milknie i zaczynają się solowe popisy instrumentalistów o jazzowym zabarwieniu, robi się naprawdę przyjemnie.

Choć słuchając "Out of Focus" można odnieść wrażenie, że muzycy nieco przecenili swoje umiejętności, jest to naprawdę udany album. A byłby jeszcze lepszy, gdyby go skrócić o fragmenty obnażające kompozytorską nieporadność muzyków (wstęp "Whispering", druga połowa "Blue Sunday Morning" i wokalna część "Television Program"). Polecam wszystkim wielbicielom muzyki z tamtego okresu, przede wszystkim tej opartej na długich improwizacjach.

With an unchanged line-up, OOF focus progressed immensely from their psyched-out prog rock by adding a jazz dimension that will make itself present through Moran's newly developed sax playing. This added dimension will give OOF such a wider spectrum that their excellent debut album will be dwarfed by this monster follow-up. Strangely enough their jazzy impulses show in the Tull (This Was) or TYA (Ten Years After) mode, rather than a complete jazz-rock ala Mahavishnu or brassy rock ala Colosseum or Warm Dust. Charged with an awesome abstract artwork, this baby is again released with the now-legendary Kuckuck label.
The album starts energetically enough with the hard driving What Can a Poor Boy do, but where you expect a flute, Moran pulls out his new sax and blows one mean solo, having us wonder how he mastered it so easily so quickly. Indeed, even in the short stop and go section, he follows no problems and has enough guts to follow it with a last bravado before Wisheu's bass intervention change into a call and response between Drechsler's guitar first, than alternatively organ, sax and guitar before resuming the 100 mph rock driving rhythm. What a minor tour de force!! The absolutely delightful folk-laden (induced by a spellbinding guitar but also an enchanting flute) It's Your Life is an incredible joy to your eardrums, somehow reminding of Traffic's John Barleycorn. The 13-min+ slow-developing Whispering is a combination of explosion of sounds, from a propelling organ and discreet piano, a soaring & searing guitar, an very explorative bass, wild drumming and Moran's new saxophone madness. Again the jazz tonalities are really more in the TYA mode than the pure jazz-rock deal, but the whole thing is damn progressive and once again the band show their impressive talent at light improvisation and the tail end fade out is a pure bit of heaven.

Then flipside starts on the folky Blue Sunday Morning, starting on a mad drum march with a flute-and-organ unison and Moran's sinister voice being the master of ceremony. Behind all this, Drechsler's near satanic guitar arpeggios are what makes the track so spellbinding. The bass picks up late in the track and by that time the song has veered completely psychedelic and the tension is really palpable in the building crescendo leading to the surprisingly absent climax. Nevertheless, another minor tour de force. The next track is a linked up duo starting with Fly Bird Fly and a very Traffic-like flute leading to some superb Greenslade-like organ parts and sweet guitar lines slowly leading into the second part of track Television Program, which is plenty excellent as well and comes the album's apex with the depicting the boredom of the truckload of images breaking the floodgates from the cathode tube into your brains and wondering on the consequences. This last part can be reminiscent of their debut Wake Up album.

This band is a mystery on how they never made it big and they would have, had they been British or American. An absolute find, a must -hear, your musical education cannot be complete without having heard this group (I am slightly exaggerating on the last point but it is for the CAUSE), your life will definitely more complete and fulfilled if you know of them, your sexual impulses will be multiplied by a thousand if you have at least heard of them, you will live to 200 years of age if you are even aware of their existence - I've never been so serious in my life. LISTEN TO THIS, you progheads!!!!!!!!!!

I prefer their debut "Wake Up !" to this their self titled follow up, but both are excellent. The Jazz flavour is starting to come into their sound on this one. It will get stronger with later albums. I think their calling card on this album is the way they jam, and check out the cover art ! Very cool.
"What Can A Poor Boy Do(But To Be A Streetfighting Man)" is uptempo with vocals. I was going to mention in my review of their debut that the singer really reminds me of Mick Jagger. That is confirmed throughout this album. A raging sax solo after a minute. An organ solo 2 1/2 minutes in as sax comes back and joins in. A bass solo after 3 minutes as it calms right down. Guitar and organ come and go as sax plays on.Then they just jam. Great tune. "It's Your Life" opens with gentle guitar and reserved vocals. Bass comes in as organ comes and goes. Flute 2 minutes in this laid back tune. Piano before 3 minutes.They just continue to play taking turns. "Whispering" opens with organ and whispered vocals. Sax plays tastefully before drums and guitar arrive a minute in as the sound builds. The sax is prominant after 2 minutes.The guitar takes the lead after 4 minutes as the sound gets louder. This trippy sound goes on and on as they jam. Love the guitar but it takes a backseat after 7 minutes. Sax takes the lead after 9 minutes. The song settles down a minute later to the end.

"Blue Sunday Morning" opens with drums, bass then flute.The flute is a real highlight on this one. Vocals,guitar and organ come in.This sounds so good even if the lyrics are a little out there.You know like Jesus rolling a joint in paradise and wanting to go back to earth because he misses drinking and smoking(which he apparently is doing in heaven anyway). The organ 4 minutes in is fantastic for a minute. Vocals after 5 minutes get passionate with more great bass and powerful organ. "Fly Bird Fly" opens with flute before a full sound, then vocals a minute in. Nice organ work 2 minutes in as bass throbs. Guitar before 3 minutes is tasteful. Cool song. "Television Program" opens with flute like the previous song. Gentle guitar, light drums and bass join in. The vocals arrive 1 1/2 minutes in.The lyrics are meaningful.The sound is building 2 1/2 minutes in. Organ a minute later. It settles down 4 minutes in as vocals are spoken. More tasteful guitar after 5 minutes with organ a minute later. A full sound with sax before 8 minutes.The tempo then picks up with guitar as they jam to the end.

This one doesn't grab me at all like their debut does. Still a 4 star record though as it is very enjoyable throughout.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

Wydany we wrześniu 1971 roku kapitalny, drugi album progresywnych Niemców mocno przypominał mocno jethrotullowski (z domieszką Pink Floyd i Colosseum) debiut (ponownie 6 utworów trwających blisko 50 minut), ale był dziełem nieco bardziej jazzującym, jeszcze bardziej zainspirowanym twórczością uwielbianej i bardzo wpływowej w Niemczech grupy Colosseum. To jest kolejny CD bez żadnych wypełniaczy! Tak, jak na genialnym debiucie, dołączono 3 koncertowe utwory (z włoskiego Palermo z maja 1972) trwające razem 30 minut! Doskonały dźwięk - nieco klarowniejszy niż na dawnej edycji Ohrwashl z 1991, no i płyta zawiera fajniejszy booklet ponownie gromadzący kilka rzadkich zdjęć tego kapitalnego zespołu!

UWAGA! Umieszczony na końcu płyty krótki dźwięk zegara z kukułką pojawiał się zawsze na koniec każdej winylowej strony albumów wytwórni Kuckuck a dotychczas nie był uwzględniany!
