"Ash's 2nd album, & a real cracker. They never recorded anything like this again. Largely instrumental with crazy scat jazz vocals and top playing. Only let down by a stodgy blues number at the end."
"Church hammond keys all over this gem. Fuzzed heavy guitar and great drumming. Most of the tracks deal with depression, loneliness, death, madness - it's truly bleak, brilliant and seriously rocks"
"Uriah Heep's most diverse, experimental and raw album. Bird of Prey has insane group falsetto vocal runs, the guitar is rough as a badger's posterior and the Hammond is fantastic. Treat yourself!"
"Ash's first album, and what a debut! All the Ash trademarks are there; harmony vocals, duel guitars, superb drumming. But unlike with the Argus album, here they remembered to plug in their guitars."
"How often is 'lost gem' tagged onto any old forgotten piece of musical nonsense? Well in this case it really applies. Think Moody Blues as a basis, and then actually add top drawer songs into the mix."
"Hawkwind's finest studio hour. Lemmy's bass is ferocious. If ever you find yourself trapped in a space capsule, this would be the soundtrack to your decent into madness."
"I suspect a theme of madness running through these albums! Groundhogs, ode to Schitzophenia. It's sound is raw and dirty. Power trio music with the emphasis on POWER. Nice..."
"May Blitz first album. Again a great example of early heavy metal. When to be a British rock fan meant living in a grey trench coat. Ahh those were the days."
"Quo's best. This is the balancing album between the psych early blues boogie, and the parady they would become. Big Fat Mamma is great, and Roadhouse Blues really grooves."
"Not really rock, but if you love hammond / keyboard driven music from the early 70's then this is a must. No guitar. Thick pounding bass and great vocals. Well worth a chance buy."
"As far from Tangerine Dream as you could get. This has more in common with early Hawkwind. Fuzzed guitars, nonsense song titles and crazy female backing vocals. IN GERMAN. Brilliant!!"
"Again Greenslade are more prog than rock, but this album just smells of early 70's music. 2 keyboard players and vocals that could only have existed in 1972. This is great stuff"
"Long before there was Breaking the Law or Hell Bent for Leather there was this; their first LP and a really dated, fuzzy, dirty sounding LP it is too. WahWah, Lesley cabinets, and Rob's pipes. Heaven."
"A fantastic UK band now sadly forgotten. Whisky vocals ala Rod Stewart, tasty organ and guitar, plus some excellent orchestration similar to Caravan's New Symphonia. Check it out."
"In the mists of time (before Michael Schenker that is) UFO were a bluesy space rock band with the needle firmly pointing to 'Jam'.Very very dated. But that's why I like it so much."
"Late 60's underground rock from the Middle Earth house band. Great hammond sound and a real raw live feel to the songs. Plus a jamfest reworking of Zodiac's 'Aries'. Really recommended."
"This band are that long searched for, but often overlooked, link between Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, and some sort of evil pixie creature, all mixed together by Lurch and Uncle Festor. Buy Now!"
"The only US band to make it onto the list. Not as heavy as the cover would suggest. Bit too reliant on the meandering jam. But Love Me Hard is a brilliant track, & the drumming is fantastic."
"Stray's 1st album is soaked in blistering wah wah guitar and is a brilliant example of the sort of rock coming out of the UK at the start of the 70's. Play this one really loud for maximum effect!"
