Ignore
the fact that
the opening
title track
sounds almost
exactly like
the intro to
Neil Young's
"Ohio" and
Patto's second
album kicks
into gear from
the moment
needle strikes
vinyl. A
driving fiesta
of good-time
bluesy-rock,
Hold Your Fire
retains just
enough of its
predecessor's
jazz fusion
sensibilities
to ensure that
you're never
sure what will
happen next,
but similarly
imbibes
sufficient
oxygen from
elsewhere on
the early-'70s
British rock
underground to
line up
alongside any
other primal
gem of the
age. Certainly
producer Muff
Winwood seems
considerably
more at ease
than he did
his last time
around,
hauling Ollie
Halsall's
tuneful
soloing high
up in the mix
and framing
the album's
best tracks --
the melancholy
"You, You
Point Your
Finger" among
them -- within
some
breathtakingly
lovely
arrangements.
Another
highlight, the
funky
Faces-like
"See You at
the Dance
Tonight,"
almost
single-handedly
blueprints the
best of the
still-unborn
pub rock boom,
while
Halsall's
playful "Air
Raid Shelter"
would not have
been out of
place on Hold
Your Fire,
which further
proves that
not all of
Patto's early
instincts have
been
suppressed.
Neither do the
surprises stop
with the
music. Hold
Your Fire was
released in
positively the
most un-Roger
Dean-like
sleeve design
to which Dean
ever put his
name. There
again, vast
spacescapes
filled with
floating
islands and
flying
elephants were
never really
Patto's forte
-- not when
the
alternative
offers
barefoot cops,
scantily clad
damsels, and
hippies
bearing
colorful
mushrooms.
