1973 FAN-TASTIC SPACE AGE ACIDROCK
UK FIRST PRESSING
Arthur Brown & Kindom Come
JOURNEY
\ UK - POLYDOR - 2310 254
SCARCE 1973 BRITISH ORIGINAL (way superior version over US) ...the way way out psychedelic journey filled with intergalactic whooshing and gushing keyboards, mellotron, synth spraws, hypnotic rhythms, spacy atmospheres all together built upon Arthur Brown in his peak of creativities...and flipped out lyrical content...the cat that brought you "FIRE" in '68 ...
This album is a phenomenal contribution to the whole Space-Rock/Psychedelic sub-genre of Prog. Vocalist, chief instigator Arthur Brown has assembled an amazing crew of 'trippers' to fulfill his vision of Space ; taking an amazing 'journey' through the cosmic myriad known to us as the universe.
Central to all pieces on the album is Arthur Brown and his (then) state-of-the-art Bentley drum machine, which sounds like an early analogue rhythm- box. The next feature sounds on the record comprise of the eccentric ARP 2600 Synth-twiddling and incredible Mellotron work of the 'barking mad' keyboardist Victor Peraino, absolutely integral to the whole vibe of the album. Together with a steady Bass-player and competent lead-guitarist, the band presents us with a space-age, futuristic sounding recording, complete with subtle humour. Every piece is of interest, with really high highlights being the longer cuts ; Time Captives (8.13), Gypsy (9.10), Superficial Roadblocks (6.56) which showcases the Mellotron in all its glory, and the rocking closer, 'Come Alive' (8.45). The shorter compositions are very good, too, including the very catchy song 'Spirit of Joy' with a melody worthy of getting stuck in your head. This is top-notch Prog, believe me...
