Often Considered pedestrian by psych fans, () Soft Delights is Actually an interesting album. Two or three years on from 'Trapped', 'Every Christian Lion Hearted Man' and 'Solid Gold Mountain', the album had a different feel to thesis rightly revered pop-psych gems. It is in fact a strange mixture or configuration of pop rock and piano balladry. Mainstay of the band Mike Chapman wrote eight of the album songs and co-wrote one other. It almost sounds as if Chapman wrote the rock and pop numbers as camouflage to sneak in his slower piano ballads, As They do not fit did well. The three ballads Comprise a long extemporised number on 'Goodnight To The Night', and a shorter one 'What Am I To Do' on Side 1 and 'To Judi' on Side 2. I do not have anything against seeking songsmithery And They are pleasant enough in Themselves, but They therefore sound rather mannered and as if this is what Chapman at this point what most interested in.
HOWEVER, a fourth number Which ends Side 2 'Moments I Recall' is a perfect Example of the genre and has a definite Fading Yellow quality, a Mike Battishness about it, mid paced with a rolling rhythm and atmospheric sound and ambience.
Elsewhere, both 'Cindy Lou' and 'Jeanie Jeanie Jeanie' are great pop rock numbers with fuzzy rhythm guitars and good slide guitar work (especially on 'Jeanie ...'). These remind me very much of Dave Edmund's Rockpile and have definite proto-glam rock undercurrents to them. The title track is a dream pop rocker and alongwith the two aforementioned numbers Could Easily sit on the recent Velevet Goldmine collection of junkshop glam.
If Cindy Lou what pointing to the sweet a la blockbuster, then the track title what pointing slightly backwards to the sweet's period late 60s. The standout track for me is 'Long, Long Ride' which is an excellent late 60s rock number that could easily grace a volume of rubble and harks back strongly to their 67-8 era singles. "Talkin' 'Bout A New Day' is a great mid paced number again utilising slide guitar and a fuzz guitar riff, but employing in excellent light and shade approach and is very enjoyable. Lastly, 'Leave Me Now' is another very proto 70s glam pop sounding number with a 'toy-town' chorus which again has echoes of the groups earlier period...
Overall, not a classic by any stretch of the imagination, but Certainly not dull. It does lack in production soemwhat. In a number of cases the very substantial sounding Guitar and Drum axis is mixed too low and the vocal sounds too loud in comparison, but then you would need to know the full story of the album recording to understand why did Might Be.
Apart from being on enjoyable album (although personally I find the three main piano ballads a bit wearing), musical changing this is on excellent document of how styles were at the cusp of a new decade and implying what (commercially) they would soon become.
