CINDERELLA - Udkoksning I Tre Satser [1970 Denmark Hard Psych Blues Acid Rock]


UM ÓTIMO POWER TRIO DA DINAMARCA CUJO SOM NADA TEM A VER COM PROGRESSIVO COMO SUGERE NA CAPA DO ALBUM!! A SONORIDADE É BLUES ROCK ACIDO COM PITADAS PSYCH!! LANÇARAM UM UNICO ALBUM EM 1970 QUE ESTÁ AQUI NESSA COMPILAÇÃO E QUE CONTA AINDA COM ALGUMAS OUTRAS MÚSICAS GRAVADAS AO VIVO PELOS CARAS!! O DISCO DE 1970 ERA DE 7 POLEGADAS E QUANDO ESTAVAM PRESTES A LANÇAR A GRAVADORA SOFREU UM INCÊNDIO QUE DETONOU COM TODOS OS PLANOS DOS CARAS E COM ISSO O DISCO ORIGINAL NUNCA FOI LANÇADO!! SOMENTE EM 1990 A "SPECTATOR RECORDS" RECOPILA AS MASTER TAPES D ABANDA E LANÇA UM LP!! E DEPOIS VEIO ESSA COMPILAÇÃO QUE COLOCO A DISPOSIÇÃO DOS ENVENENADOS!! É UM BOM E RECOMENDADO VENENO!!
 
DANISH BAND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PROGRESSIVE HOW SUGGESTS THE ALBUM COVER !! IT BLUES ROCK ACID PSYCH !! RECORDED A SINGLE ALBUM IN 1970 THAT ARE HERE IN THIS COMPILATION AND STILL HAS SOME OTHER SONGS RECORDED LIVE !! A GOOD ALBUM AND RECOMMENDED !!
 
Tracks 3 and 6 originally released as a single by Spectator in 1970 (MES 110).
Tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 recorded at the Spectator studio, Hasseris in 1970.
Tracks 10 to 14 recorded live at Studenterforeningen, Copenhagen in 1972.
 
-----------------------------------------------------
The liner notes in the booklet are strangely enough only in Danish, as if there wouldn’t be any foreigners interested in this band. The only thing I can make of the notes is that they were noticeably influenced by Rory Gallager, Vanilla Fudge, Hendrix and Cream, and secondly by Zeppelin & Doors which from which I don’t find any influence. They covered a Cream song, “Mr.Fantasy”, and two Hendrix tracks, “Fire” and “Break Song”. This last track is really convincing and shows a direct Hendrix endowment, and great solo guitar. I also saw the name Peter Quaife, bass player from The Kinks, mentioned as producer for their only 1971 album.
 
More or less the only and sure deliberately arranged or prepaired song for the album is “Carlt”, one side of a very good single, which highlights with speeded up heavy percussion (congas, drums,..). I found out that after the single, most of the CD is this LP album, with an additional 5 live tracks. Without knowing that, the CD sounds more or less like one long concert. The group definitely stands in the walking shoes of that part of the psychrock scene which developed out of blues and boogie-woogie. As a progressive band for me they still stand in the shadow of their Swedish neighbours, but as a jamming band they have some convincing elements, although the music sometimes sound somewhat absorbed by the jamming nature, and the poor quality of the live recording is a confirmation to this feeling. We hear mostly fuckin’ rocking long jams and jammed songs, with dirty and fat guitars, which sound pretty smoked, -and who knows drugged and alcohol-boozed-. Like I was mentioning, at times this smoky and stoned atmosphere for the length of the CD works altough at times it is a bit saturating. The best sound for live recordings of this kind of music normally does not always matter too much, but in the end for me it did take its toll ; at the time when the last track, the rock’n roll “Long Tall Sally” comes in, I’m really drunk from the music and tired, and with a feeling as if I’m truly there at the concert I take a break to go for a pee.

Entrei no site pois estava buscando uma raridade do Pretty Things e acabei encontrando uma mina. Antigamente eu entrava na Boca do Disco e não tinha dinheiro pra conhecer nem mesmo 1 álbum.. hoje tem este universo disponível e me pergunto "por onde começar?" grato!!!
