RARIDADE MÁXIMA!!! 🎸 BANDA EXTREMAMENTE RARA FORMADA EM ROCHESTER(NY) ALI PELO FINAL DOS ANOS 60!! AS MÚSICAS FORAM GRAVADAS NO PALCO DO TEATRO DA UNIVERSIDADE DE ROCHESTER PELA "BRIGHTON SOUND" EM 8 BOBINAS DE ROLO!! ATÉ HOJE NUNCA FOI LANÇADO EM LP NEM EM CD!! AS FITAS FORAM ACHADAS POR "JOSH JETTY", FILHO DO BATERISTA DA RED WHITE & BLUES, "EARL JETTY", O QUAL REPASSOU AS CANÇÕES PARA OS VENENOS!! NA VERDADE O FILHO BUSCA ATÉ HOJE ALGUMA GRAVADORA INTERESSADA EM LANÇAR ESSE ÁLBUM OFICIALMENTE NO MERCADO, MAS ATÉ O MOMENTO NÃO SURGIRAM INTERESSADOS!! A GRANDE DIFICULDADE É QUE, MESMO O BATERISTA SENDO SEU PAI, ELE NÃO DETÉM OS DIREITOS AUTORAIS DAS MÚSICAS E NEM IMAGINA QUEM SEJAM OS DETENTORES, POR ISSO É QUE ESSAS MÚSICAS ESTÃO PERDIDAS NA OBSCURIDADE!! 🎸 VALE LEMBRAR QUE DEPOIS DESSAS GRAVAÇÕES A BANDA MUDA O NOME PARA "JOSHUA", GRAVANDO MAIS ALGUMAS PEROLAS QUE TAMBÉM FICARAM NA OBSCURIDADE E LOGO VOU POSTAR PARA OS ENVENENADOS A...

SEGUINDO A SEQUENCIA DE POSTS DESTA EXCELENTE BANDA SUÍÇA!! TODOS SÃO ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADOS!! E VEM MAIS POR AÍ!!
Krokodil's third album is reputedly their only progressive effort, and probably the only one worth hearing. You can tell that they're coming from a folk background, to which they've added some wigged-out psych and what sounds like a Mark II Mellotron which figures, given the date. Some of the material slightly outstays its welcome, if I'm going to be honest, but the overall vibe is pretty good, with the folk stuff colliding head-on with some dark, distorted guitar work straight out of the Edgar Broughton Band songbook. Probably.
As for Terry Stevens' 'Tron, Lady Of Attraction has a few brass chords, with some superb pitchbend work, far smoother than even the best set-up M400, plus a quick burst of strings, while Green Fly has some nice upfront strings. The druggy Odyssey In Om is the album's 'Tron highlight, though, with a rich, almost unaccompanied Mellotron strings part with some stoned-out narration over it, in the obligatory German accent. More of the same later in the song, this time underpinned by flutes, with a strings melody tagged on, making for a very worthwhile 'Tron effort.
I get the impression that the version of the album I've reviewed is a mid-'90s German bootleg, and it's since received a proper release. This version has three bonus tracks, two of which (Sessions 1 and 2) are tedious studio jams; there seem to be two further extras on the official release, but I've no idea whether or not they're any better than these. Either way, cautiously recommended on the 'Tron front.
