The Gods Genesis 1968 uk splendid psych rock 2009 japan extra tracks remaster

The Gods Genesis 1968 uk splendid psych rock 2009 japan extra tracks remaster After leaving Stevenage based RnB outfit The Jimmy Brown Sound in early 1965 keyboardist / guitarist / vocalist Ken Hensley formed The Gods with Mick Taylor (guitar), John Glasscock (bass / vocals) and Brian Glasscock (drums). However this line up only lasted until June 1967 when Taylor quit to join John Mayalls Bluesbreakers and then The Rolling Stones. Hensley then moved to Hampshire where, whilst living in a van(!), he met up with bassist Paul Newton and put together a new version of The Gods which featured Hensley, Newton, drummer Lee Kerslake and guitarist John Konas. However despite building up a good following on the South Coast collage circuit Newton left (he later became a founding member of Uriah Heep) and was replaced by Greg Lake. With a residency at Londons Marquee and a contract with EMIs Columbia label it looked like The Gods would at last release something but, as Hensley recalls, "Just a...

The Gods To Samuel A Son 1969 uk great psych rock 2009 japan bonus track remaster

The Gods To Samuel A Son 1969 uk great psych rock 2009 japan bonus track remaster Here�s a bit of a conundrum: whereas concept albums often shift melodies down in favor of big ideas, this one is all about songs � unlike THE GODS� debut that saw them try to enter the already trodden waters. Beating FIRE�s similarly shaped "The Magic Shoemaker" time-wise, the second time around the band gave reins to Ken Hensley who, less constrained by the progressive paradigm of the day, came up not only with memorable tunes but also with the trademark sound he�d perfect in URIAH HEEP. It�s unmistakably his composer style behind the vocal line of the title track, and the acoustic �He�s Growing�, while still rooted in psychedelia, could have easily find a place on any of the master�s solo records. But for all that, and a few lightweight numbers such as �Penny Dear� with its Caribbean undertow or the TRAFFIC-like �Autumn�, this is an ensemble work, as proven by a single cover of �Maria� from �W...

The Mute Gods Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me 2016

The Mute Gods Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me 2016 Una grata sorpresa me he llevado al escuchar este disco, de la mano del trio compuesto por Roger King, Nick Beggs y Marco Minnemann, toda una propusta de estas nuevas estrellas del progresivo (no tan nuevas pero mas jovenes que nuestras apreciadas leyendas) con su nuevo super grupo "The Mute Gods" y con un disco mmm...  no tan progresivo, rockero y con sonidos pop (mexclar sonidos sintetizados, ritimicas progresivas simples rozando el pop) Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me (2016) se llama este nuevo disco. Canciones no tan largas (la mas larga dura casi los 8 minutos, el resto los 5 y 6) que soprenden un poco ya que estamos acostumbrados a escuchar obras mas largas (Steven Wilson band con Minnemann y Beggs) pero no desentonan para nada, lei por ahi algunas rese�as que hablan sobre una copia mas y que casi era llegar al pop, cosa que no suena para nada, un sonido bien trabajado, pasajes instrumentales muy progresivos pero con ...
