Legendary
British
progressive band,
and their classic
debut-album
explains why. The
first side of the
album seems to
have a concept
about heaven and
hell, and the
lifestyles which
will lead to one
of those places
(if you believe
that bullshit!).
The music is good
old English
progressive with
loads of mellotron
and harpsichord.
The highlight is
the beautiful
"Heaven". With its
floating mellotron
theme and
symphonic sound,
this track lives
up to its name.
"Hell" is, as you
may suggest, a
much more uglier
and heavier track
with some very
distorted organ
creating a perfect
hell-atmosphere.
You can almost
smell the sulphur!
"Fugue in 'D'
Minor" is a pure
baroque piece
played on guitar
and harpsichord.
The 16-minute "The
Dream" features a
load of time
changes and
different moods.
From symphonic and
beautiful, to
disharmonious and
energetic. This is
a impressive and
truly progressive
rock album that
every 70's
progressive rock
fan should own.
