Χρόνια πολλά σε όλους μας. Να είμαστε καλά για να αντέξουμε αυτά που μας προετοιμάζουν να έρθουν και ο Θεός να βάλει το χέρι του.
Συγνώμη που χάθηκα τόσο καιρό αλλά έπεσε γκάζι επιτέλους να μετακομίσω. Βέβαια είχαμε και τις ζημιές, όπως το πλατό από το πικ ακ.
Δεν πολύ κυκλοφορεί αυτό το γκρου στο νετ οπότε είπα να το ανεβάσω. Ευχάριστα και απαλά ακούσματα στο πνεύμα της ηρεμίας που πρέπει να έχουμε. Καλή σας ακρόαση.
Personnel:
PHIL BRIGGS gtr, vcls A
MALCOLM LANE hrmnca, vcls A
ROB SINCLAIR bs, vcls A
ALBUM:
1(A) PIECE OF MIND (Down Under DL 1501) 1972
45s:
1 Where Is The Lord?/Millions (Down Under DS 1001) 1972
2 Pig/Sandelmaker (Down Under DS 1004) 1972
The sole album by this obscure New Zealand trio is decent early-'70s folk-rock with some occasional pop, psychedelic, and blues traces, though it's not notable enough to be of interest beyond the specialized collecting circuit. The trio do manage a pleasant low-key sound that has a slightly unusual, diffident, laconically hip quality, especially in the vocals. That makes for a nice change from the leagues of early-'70s albums colored by earnest blandness to the singing and songwriting. Also, like many rock records from the era made away from the main recording centers of the United States and United Kingdom, it has a slightly-behind-the-times feel, sounding more like a 1970 record than a 1972 one -- not a huge difference, but a notable one at a time when trends in pop music changed so rapidly. None of the songs are outstanding, but none are turkeys either; several of the tracks sound a little like engaging minor league cousins to Country Joe & the Fish's better reflective psychedelic tunes, and a California psychedelic influence is audible in the harmonies and wafting organ of "Away from Here." Much of the material has a breezy feel that doesn't try too hard, nearing an almost jazzy sense of hippie cool on "Millions." ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
