~ POPOL ACE ~
Stolen From Time
JAPAN - POLYDOR - KI 7609
RARE...Original 1975 JAPAN first pressing actually it appears to be an ADVANCED RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMO of a heavy progressive that you seldom see...real 'underground' stuff with a dramatic flair that should have plenty of interest by collectors...
In 1975 Florian Fricke (leader of the German group Popol Vuh) found out this Norwegian band was using his 'groups' name and threatened them with a lawsuit. For this reason Popol Vuh changed their name to Popol Ace.
Stolen From Time (1975) was the most ambitious effort by POPOL ACE benefiting from unusually generous amounts of studio time, provided by a record company dreaming of international success. It's one of those albums that was carefully produced, second by second. Included were some of their strongest and most mature songs, such as "Bury Me Dead" and "Today Another Day". Their overall sound (with more elaborate double guitars/keyboards led instrumental passages than before) was influenced by prime Peter Gabriel Genesis circa 1972-74. The album opener "Bury Me Dead" is a nice outfit using keyboard as the foundation of the music, augmented with guitar work. Vocal quality is strong fitting the music nicely. As opening track this one sets the overall tone of the album. "Today Another Day" is composed in the same vein like opening track. In this song Jahn Teigen (vocals) demonstrates his quality voice with a firm accent that makes the music is quite enjoyable. Guitar provides its solo at the background and never been exposed as soloist. The song changes its style into bluesy one in the middle of the track - or minute 4:00 to be exact. The guitar portion is now quite apparent. "The Jester" is another good rock tune combining guitar fills, keyboard and energetic voice. Jahn Teigen proves his voice which works well at high notes - followed with excellent keyboard work. "Soft Shoe Dancer" is good composition with bluesy style, nice vocal. This song provides good break for the album."Sleepwalker" concludes the album in medium tempo rock music combining guitar and keyboard and good vocal quality.
It's definitely a strong album that should suit those of you who collect obscure/rare Lp's from the early-mid 70s. Today the albums compositions appear stronger than those on their two following albums.
