11.59 - This Our Sacrifice of Praise(UK Dovetail 1974)
Rare UK original LP !!!
7-piece British group who were active in the early 1970s. As you might have gathered from the song titles,
11.59 were a full-on Christian band, working at the folk/rock end of the spectrum.The record is a tad sweet
in places, particularly on the female vocal front, and some of the lyrics will raise the hackles of non-believers,
notably the jaunty Hallelujah Jesus!, which is, in all honesty, a bit hard to bear. If you concentrate on the music,
though, what you get is a nice folk rock album with a bit of Mellotron, which is rare enough in itself to warrant
attention. All but one of the songs is based on the psalms, the best-known in the secular world being No.23,
The Lord is My Shepherd, tackled at the end of the album on one of Kinch's 2 compositions, although strangely,
neither of his songs has any Mellotronic content.Speaking of said 'Tron, there are flutes and strings on opener
"The Earth Is The Lord's" , then nothing until "By The Waters Of Babylon" , which you may or may not be glad
to hear has nothing to do with the later Boney M song, apart from the obvious lyrical content.
Actually, it's one of the nicest pieces on the album, a melancholy, minor-key piece with 'Tron flutes, but sadly,
that would appear to be it.
The presence of Mellotron and flute has found This Our Sacrifice of Praise being labeled "prog folk" while
river, seagull and ocean sound effects put it in danger of being written off as hippie drivel. And candidly, the
scarcity of original LP copies probably has more to do with its elevated collectible status than music contained
therein. Lyrically it's likely a very religious in content and recommended to many folk purists with an innocence
about the presentation and a purity about the vocal blend that's refreshing a lot...it's reflective and introspective,
an acquired taste but well worth sampling.
