The PSYCHEDELIC VANILLA FUDGE ALBUM!
THIS IS mind boggling psych and Stein is tearing the guts off his Hammond organ!! This is so HEAVY ! The rest of the band is just as riviting; as Bogert and Appice will be considered as master of heavies . Stupendous Season Of the Witch. Really a mostly underrrated album that somehow bypassed many collectors, lets just say if it were a private label album the value, with music involved, would be through the roof...
A crash of gong opens the album and the dualistic song “The Sky Cried - When I was A Boy”. The beginning holds a mysterious haze of psychedelic sounds seeking their form, which will be a aggressive storm being dominated by furious fuzz guitar and driven by stormy drums, wild raw keyboards and preachy vocals. The verse brings a calm eye to this storm with some sound effects. This is more powerful than their strongest peaks on their first album, and as the compositions are original and witty, what else can I do but be awestruck? The song changes from “The Sky Cried” as “When I was A Boy” via short graveyard soundscape. This section is truly full of anxiety. “Thoughts” is a shorter song dominated by a chorus section in the beginning and as chorus, having also a calmer verse in between, and being a wonderful composition full of exploding emotion. “Paradise” starts with eerie organ solo painting very raw and interesting visions. This is another bit longer track running for over six minutes, and it takes it time to build up. The rest of the band creeps in with multi vocal harmonies, which are also a dominant feature on this album. The main part of the composition is another wonderful melancholic keyboard driven calm sequence with celestial pauses in it.
Then there’s a batch of two shorter songs. ”That's What Makes a Man” has a dynamic theme, which is followed by another poetic composition shifting from calm verse growing in power for the strong chorus. ”The Spell That Comes After” begins with abstract rhythmic process of voices creating a magical feeling. These melt as another powerful melodic tune following the stylistic line of previous the songs. There’s a cool short jazzy quotation arranged in the middle of it, and there’s lots of space used for the aural description of magical events, making this one of the most impressionistic numbers here. ”Faceless People” continues to flow nicely after it, bringing a calm vision of space, slowly starting to move and making room for the aggressive iconoclastic purge carving out the more conventional composition out of the chaos. This process was first introduced in their debut album, and it’s a cool way to enrich basic rock tunes. Some may of course find such as artsy overdoing, but many others like it, as it brings more atavistic elements to the music. There’s also very interesting raw guitar solo on this one.
The last song is the long ”Season of the Witch” running nearly nine minutes. This also begins very slowly and impressionistic, letting quiet drops to fall over a distant humming of the organs. The vocal melodies start to drive the composition, which pulses in slow and frightful waves. This song relies much on the vocals, and there’s even a vocal narration part, and the end of it is very grim indeed....
