The'ingredients ' of this prog album are the simple formula of: the average-to-low recordi NGS, the narration by the vocalist who is trying to set the scene for a song, the catchy r iffs and nice melodies, the lengthy songs (which is most of the time just jamming with guitar solos flying here and there), and the hit song that charted for a while in those days. If you like these characteristics then you should really give it a try.
The album starts with the self titled song in which Neale Johns (vocalist) by having a glo oMy atmosphere in the background tries to portray the scenery of the mountain of Madness:
[..]'' and at the edge of the forest I met of in old man selling apples.
-"Is it far"? I asked. He shook his head and handed me to apple.
-"Just eat this" he said with a smile in his eye [...]
[..] " And suddenly I woke and everything around me had changed. I first up and I knew I was there, at the mountain of madness. "
Undoubtedly, this is not the best narrative you've ever heard in a song but you have to re Alize that this is something that what tried 40 years ago, a bit innovative for those days. The narration takes up about it half of the song time and as soon as it finishes Alex Kash makes his introduction with up tempo snare play just to be accompanied with Robinson's frenzy guitar riff, continuing like this until the end of the song.
"On this day that I that" is a normal-paced tempo song with a melancholic aura accompanying it. nice change of the pattern at at early stage, with the clean chords fitting great to the lyrics ("I couldn't stand it anymore" [...]) and with the fill on the drums, another sign of good musicianship is becoming parameter. The guitar's solo is simple and loose enough to fit to the overall song's picture.
The next song appearing is "Seasons of Change" the epic anthem that broke into the chart s where it reached #15 nationally. Having the same tempo as the previous two, the flute and the violin are the instruments add color to the song and help it sound very melodic. However, I had found the bass lines of Leith Corbett-the highlight here, while the catchy refrain and rhythmic lines make the song unforgettable.
It has to be noted that guitar has not been very active up to this point of the album. There were some good moments but nothing very special. This however changes as soon as the inaugural notes of "Mangoes theme" unfold. It's a creepy, eastern-sound riff by John Robinson which shows his creative abilities. Violin plays again a vital role to the whole song as it continues the mana at the point where the guitar leaves it and at a point the two merge and create epic jamming.
"Long Legged Lovely" could easily be the second single of the album. Another powerful guitar melody starts with the song and soon after a couple of minutes of lyrics the starts jamming again. In the meantime, Johns fills the instrumental section with some mumbling, and bass plays excellently some groovy lines. Tempo is slightly increased at a point and drums play whatever is necessary only. The song ends with the memorable opening guitar melody.
Album ends with "the rat (suite)" a versatile song which actually constitutes of five pa RTS:
"- Main title (the Council)"
"- The trap"
"- Spanish Blues"
"- Blazwaorden (land of dreams)
""- Finale (the Council)"
Full of bluesy solos and chunky riffs, the adventurous song provides the listener with som e likeable moments. Tempo is changed many times and according to the phase which is in. I believe this is the song where the individual skills of the band are shown extensively.
Overall, I found that the "mountain" a simple album with good prospects for a band if it continued to produce album some day they would become very big. With a very pure and raw sound they approach the songs a bit cautiously and it is understandable that the guys have some skills. they just needed to develop it more.
