CHIMERA (see also: Pink Floyd / Ashkan) - Chimera - UK Wooden Hill - LISTEN
price: 120,00 PLN / 30,00 EUR
Half produced by Nick Mason (the Pink Floyd drummer appeared on one track, and keyboardist Rick Wright on 5), this folk-psych-rock album, unreleased in its day (planned by the label Morgan Blue Town for mid-1970 and put out by Tenth Planet in 2002), without a doubt deserves special attention! Alongside two female vocalists the band featured Bob Weston (ex-Black Cat Bones and Ashkan) and bassist Nick South (ex-Second Hand). The result is quite a varied album that will appeal both to fans of folky, baroque sounds in the vein of Pentangle and Donovan, and to fans of decidedly progressive, heavy-bluesy moods (almost without the blues...). It is a pity I did not come across this material while writing the book Brytyjski Rock... Plus 8 demo tracks. Highly recommended!
