They had released two albums in America in 1965 "For Your Love" and "Having a Rave Up", but they were merely compilations of singles, EP's , live-recordings or obscure recording which were included to fill up the albums to reach an acceptable playing-time. For the first time they were given the opportunity to record a real album. The were not given unlimited studio-time; on the contrary; the album was recorded during a very short time-period; I believe it was about 2 weeks. This makes the result even more impressive. It's no exaggeration to call this album one a the greatest of the mid-sixties. Very tight playing by everyone, impressive and innovative guitar-work from Jeff Beck, solid vocals and great songs. In my opinion there is no doubt that it's Jeff Beck who makes the difference. I love the sounds he can get out of his guitar. It's not difficult to imagine who stunned people would we when listening to his guitar back in 66. The great mixture of traditional blues and the new psychedelic sounds has never been surpassed. Even classic 12 bar blues tracks like "Lost Woman","Over, Under, Sideways, Down", "The Nazz Are Blue", "Rack My Mind", "Jeff's Boogie" and "What Do You Want" sounded (sounds) new; and these recordings still sound uplifting and full of energy today. On songs like "Ever Since The World Began", "Turn Into Earth", "Hot House" and "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" showed a purer progressive side of the band. In fact "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" was not originally included on the album, as it was recorded shortly after, at a time when Jimmy Page had also joined the group. "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" was released as a single with "Psycho Daisies" as the b-side. These two songs have been featured on most re-releases of the album, and can almost be considered as originals. The moving "Farewell" is a another favourite; makes you think of the sad destiny of Keith Relf who died electrocuted in 1976 by his own guitar while practising at his home. Unfortunately this 2 lead-guitarist period would last very short, as Jeff Beck soon left. As far as I know, they only recorded 3 songs; with "Stroll On" from the movie "Blow Up" as the third. The bonus tracks make the CD an even better buy. The Keith Relf solo tracks a all solid; in fact they are really the Yardbirds backing singer Relf. "Mr Zero" is not far from later Yardbirds recordings like "Little Soldier Boy". If you're even the least interested in the music that came out of the 1960's this milestone is a must hear!

You wouldn't know it by the lead single "the beast and dragon, adored" from "gimme fiction", their most complex song to-date. Spoon's into the funky, catchy, short single format -- leave 'em wanting more routine. While "beast" is a good song, it's not as representative of their usual indie pop/rock groove funk that they bring on the rest of this album (and all their other albums that i own). "two sides / monsieur valentine" is a song black sheep boy would've made for "the stage names" if they were trying to hit early 80s pop instead of mid-70s prog rock. "i turn my camera on" brings THA BASS and is probably tied for the best track with "sister jack" and "i summon you". For Spoon, it's more about the pure, unadulterated, make-the-beatles-want-to-reform simple pop gems than lyrics. Like on "i summon you" and that simple acoustic guitar lick and soft drum; the lyrics just roll off effortlessly as another fabric of the song as a whole ("you got the weight of the world coming down like a mother’s eye / And all that you can / All that you can give is a cold goodbye"). They brings some tricks too, like the reverb/gate of "sister jack" or they xylophone-like FX of "the infinite pet". I always have a blast putting on a Spoon album."  [+]  Reply

There's no album sounding like this. They had a sound witch combine New Romantic and Synth-Pop with oriental music. David Sylvian's voice and compositions are amazing, Mike Karn was the best bassist of its time and Richard Barbieri made them sound futurist. The album also produced the hits "Visions Of China", "Ghosts", "The Art Of Parties" and "Catonese Boy"; and on its time was considered one of the best bands. Duran Duran was highly influencieted in them first record by Japan (even they took Japan's looks). Definetly a masterpiece witch everyone should listen to."  [+]  Reply

It's funky, and Ernie Isley tears it up on guitar. The album is also notable for its choice in cover material. They hit James Taylor ("Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight"), The Doobie Brothers ("Listen To The Music"), Seals & Crofts ("Summer Breeze"), and the Jonathan Edwards hit "Sunshine". All are done in the Isley's style...no copycatting here. It's a fun listen from a great group that still soldiers on today. And you get one more listen to Ernie's searing solo on a bonus live version of "That Lady". Enjoyable stuff. "  [+]  Reply

It is a more melodic and cohesive affair. I particularly like 'Battlefield' which give 'Yes' and 'Genesis' a run for their money. I am not so keen on the way Keith Emerson chose to play his Moog, for example 'Aquatarkus' is a very 'plinky plonky' affair, great on a honky tonk piano but not on a Moog.Great honky took piano on 'Bitches Crystal' by the way. ELP albums don't really flow given that tracks move from Church organ led to honky tonk piano led to plinky plonk Moog led. Fantastic musicians, but I often get a sense they all wanted to showcase their singular abilities rather than gel as a unit."  [+]  Reply

Tarja's outstanding vocals were far more balanced between rock and opera on this album - a balance that the band would continue striking after firing her. Wish I Had an Angel and Nemo were the big hits, and rightfully so. Ghost Love Score gave fans an all-out symphonic assault - a taste of what would come on Nightwish's next two albums - and, quite frankly, perhaps the two best albums in the entire symphonic metal genre - Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum."  [+]  Reply
