It's hard To tell exactly what happened between this album FromSATIN WHALE and their knockoutFirstlp 'Desert Places' onlyA year before in 1974. Their powerful Brain label debut was always very accessible but had A tough and constantly HEAVYSoundTo its lengthy jazz-rock compositions, but here, whilstSTILL deliveringA very strong album (One that is often considered their best, in fact), `Lost Mankind 'mostlySounds like A completely differentband altogether. SATIN WHALE perform in A prouder symphonic style OnOne withA streamlined melodic approach and polished productionTo Its more varied, sophisticated and ambitious material, as well as offering much tidier vocalsFrom an American singer no doubt brought in atTheTime To makeThe group more appealingTo international audiences.
Right From TheThe change inSoundFromThe debut is instantly noticeable. The Pumping sax and trickles of Hammond organ that darted around `Desert Places' are STILLThe piece is far more compact and instantly tuneful backed up byA chorusof female chorus singers, andThe lead vocalsof Ken Traylor offer crisp English in strongContrast To guitarist / saxophonist / flautist Dieter Roesberg's heavily accented raspOnThe debut. The title track `` Lost Mankind 'is A lightly playful symphonic piece with serene Mellotron, whimsical flute and humming organ that reminds AofA track like `InTheMountains 'FromEARTH and Fire's Second Album `SongofThe Marching Children ', and `Reverie' isA pretty piano and organ interlude. Then it's all guns blazing FOR TheThe Hammond organ out in full-blast, all wovenTo clever reprising themes. There's so much variety delivered with exemplary skill throughout this One , and it also serves as AFOR new drummer Wolfgang Hieronymi.
The flip side's `Trace of Sadness 'is AA swooning ELP-like ballad where Ken's vocals almost remindof John WettonofKINGCrimson , and breezy flute flits in and outof soft rocker `` Song FOR 'Thesy' with jazz overtones and organ-driven regal bombast that echoes Focus, M. Efekt andJETHRO TULL . Closer ` BEYOND TheHORIZON 'again comes closeToTheFirst Album with its extended instrumental stretchesof snappy drumming, wavesof break-neck frantic Hammond organ runs, joyous flute and bluesy swagger-drenched electric guitar wrangling, and The subtle and skilfully executed tempo-change sprints reveal again whatA talented bunchof musicians these guys were.
`` Lost Mankind would prove To be AFromThe group, with bothTheHEAVY Hammond-dominated rockingofThe debut and grander symphonic fancy of thisOne largely removed by their more straight-forward and frequently AOR next album `AsA Keepsake 'in 1976, and so too singer Traylor asThe properband themselves resumedThe vocalsFrom thenOn (it would actually be very interesting To learnThe circumstances as To how he cameTo be involved with Theband inTheFirst place!). The punchy debut might be their real special One , but `Lost Mankind 'has stronger playing, ardent ambition and EnergyTo spare, andif you're newTo this superb Germanband , this would beA fine placeTo begin. Four Stars . (Aussie-Byrd-Brother / progarchives.com)
