PLAYS & LOOKS CLEAN = FINAL COLLECTION COPY!!!
RARE and sought after!!! 1971 original first printing in lavish laminated cover of the HEAVY PROG-PSYCH hard hitting TITANIC and their best album, Eagle Rock !!!
The sound of TITANIC is a mixture of late 60's Psych, based in frenetic but brilliant Hammond organ progressive performance and hard rock structures that feature outstanding guitar solos including group backing vocals close to Machine Head '72 era DEEP PURPLE and early '70s Atomic Rooster. Filled with very elaborate arrangements.
''Titanic'' the opening number is a real gem. All the power of the heavy Hammond organ is present during these fantastic (almost) eight minutes... TITANIC has a real sound of his own even if their style are quite reminiscent of the great hard/heavy rock bands of the era. Not only are the rhythms and keys superb, but Janne Loseth delivers excellent and wild guitar. Full of energy, reminds of the great early ''Atomic Rooster'' ...Elsewhere ''One Night In Eagle Rock'' is a gigantic track. The band was also quite successful in terms of hit singles, and ''All Around You'' is a good example on how good the band was in writing catchy songs. This one is on the rocking side to say the least. A vigorous beat all the way through, convincing vocals and a great backing band. Not bad, right? The heavy sounds are back again with ''One Of Your Kind''. Seriously psychedelic, it demonstrates all the strengths of these guys. One needs to listen to this track and succumb to the charm of the mood changes: from wild to melodic and harmonious in a couple of seconds. Impressive to say the least. This is another very good song (but, there aren't any weak ones). The fully heavy-prog oriented ''Dying Sun'' is definitely another highlight from this work. It is a wonderful kaleidoscope of crazy percussions and admirable Hammond organ. It is really one of their top ten songs that deserves to be listened to. ''Titanic'' was also the type of band who were writing some fine rock ballad to break the overall heavy mood: ''And It's Music'' is such a song. The band is back to its roots though with the energetic ''Richmond Express''. A killer rock song that kicks quite a bunch. Helge Groslie on the organ is really performing a great job and the percussions (another genuine characteristics form ''Titanic'' ) are closing the track quite well. It could also apply to ''Maureen'' but this song is more elaborate and is much more than just a rock ballad: there are several theme changes, great instrumental interplay and as always, this convincing and warm vocals from Roy Robinson (reminding of ''Procol Harum'')
