This release offers in fact all the best elements a 70s rock band was able to offer, and which I
won’t expect to find any more in almost any band of today. First of all, they make me realize
how charming a Hammond organ can sound as a contribution to this sound. Also, this organist is
really talented by bringing in surprising themes like a classical inspiration (intro) or a
circus-barrel theme (fun outro), with many surprising breaks, in rhythm and style (like with
small jazzier or bluesier instrumental passages), without any exaggeration of doing so. Most of
all the evolution in the songs with its instrumental parts isn’t straight forward at all.
There are perfect, calm, smooth evolutions, with breathing progressions, with nice sounding songs
and vocals, with very harmonious and subtle arrangements with classical composition ability,
without forgetting the smoothness, with a fluently direct performance with an intelligent
cooperative group’s strength band where each member counts as much as the other for the
composition and performance’s results, I hardly find such an approach in any today’s music :
where everyone is really listening to the other one’s lines, but still make another and different
additional layer that organically fits within the evolution of the composition, and nice electric
guitar solos with moody organ. The album has everything to name it a classic.
