internet comments and reviews:
"Between Two Worlds" 1973 (Sugarbush sbs-109)
Obscure [sic]artefact out of a local scene that produced cult music for a 15-year period; this is a powerful trip in a song-oriented 1970s British rock/hardrock style, with psych moves on the two long epics. Plenty of raw guitar, some piano and synth, heartfelt vocals, all wrapped in a consistent package that displays talent and self-confidence. May be too much of a 70s mainstream sound for some, and indeed it would have deserved to come out on a major label. Should appeal to fans of Felt on Nasco. According to an article in Kicks #1, some of the songs had been recorded for a 1971 LP by related band Arrogance that never came out. [PL]

This is one of those albums that gets hyped as "psych" or "prog" when in reality it's mainstream AM-styled 1970s rock, made more collectable by rarity and pedigree. As such, though, this is very good. It's heavy when necessary, melodic when necessary, and has a crude enough production sound to appeal to those who would never listen to, say, a BTO album. The opening song could pass for heavy power pop, which should please fans of new wave-era NC rock. This is not as good as Arrogance's outstanding "Prolepsis," but due to the longer songs and less professional sound, it may be preferred by readers of this book. [AM] - Acid Archives
