Mystical Eastern Prog/Acid/Psych Adventures
QUINTESSENCE
DIVE DEEP
UK - pink rimmed Island Records - ILPS 9143
In clean shape comes this old vintage British psychedelic jammer on the UK Island label with textured eye-popping designed single sleeve that includes a double sided group photos inner sleeve... Recorded in 1970 and...one of the best works from the mighty Quintessence ...At their top , QUINTESSENCE was a magnificient group playing some superb Indian-laced psychadelic progressive rock and are fondly remembered by all serious psych & prog collectors including old hippies around the world....
It was business as usual on Quintessence's "Dive Deep", and just as enjoyable ever before with the band delivering thoroughly delightful material. After a mellow flowing "Dive Deep" title-track, we're taken to the trip, diving deep into adventurous acid guitar dominated wonders with the lengthy "Dance for the One" where Raja Ram explores and mixes in his whirling flute-techniques he first introduced on "Prisms" from the previous album now with the whole band backing him -- including some Mellotron from Shiva far in the background. "Brahman" is one of the best melodies on the record, and remains among a favourite by fans of the group. "The Seer" is a very nice ballad that features more Mellotron from Shiva, although he never allowed the instrument to be very dominant in the music the few places where he used it. The second side is opened with sitar in "Epitaph for Tomorrow" where the band's eastern-influenced progressive rock sound was mixed with what best can be described as epic heavy psych rock. The result is really powerful and exciting, and stands as one of their most ambitious songs. The album closes on a high note with the sitar drones & gorgeous chant of "Sri Ram Chant" that is next to "Chant" from their first LP as the best track they ever did in this style, and here with an even more epic feel. Quintessence were overall an excellent original 'trippers' band, and should have gone on with throngs of followers as in the 'Dead Heads' that followed the Grateful Dead far and wide...
