ONCE UPON A TIME.....Rough Mix

 

PETE TOWNSHEND & RONNIE LANE  Rough Mix  (Polydor,1977) - Rock


     Rough Mix is a sort of double solo album by Pete Townshend and former Face Ronnie Lane. Except on two cuts, where Lane and Townshend sing together, the LP shifts between Townshend’s high, almost preteen vocal sound, and Lane’s rougher, grainier singing: innocence and experience. The combination doesn’t quite come off, but the music’s utterly idiosyncratic insistence on its own validity has its charms. There are no commercial ambitions here; rather, Townshend and Lane seem to be trying to find their places in the scheme of things, casually fooling with rock and roll to make room for themselves.

ONCE UPON A TIME.....Still

Слика
  PETE SINFIELD  Still  (Manticore,1973) - Progressive rock       The name Pete Sinfield may not mean much to the casual prog observer but to aficionados his identity will always be linked to  King Crimson . As the band’s lyricist and, to a degree,  Robert Fripp ’s artistic muse, Sinfield contributed the lyrics to the first four Crimson albums.        For reasons unknown, the firm of Fripp and Sinfield ceased trading circa 1971 but, rather cunningly, former KC bassist  Greg Lake , perhaps sensing a lack of lyrical gravitas, created a similar role for him in the world-conquering  ELP .       Still , Sinfield’s first and only solo album was unveiled to the public in May 1973 and was quickly sidestepped by all but a very few discerning members of the progressive rock-buying public.  TRACKLIST : The Song Of The Sea Goat                        ...

ONCE UPON A TIME.....Gravy Train

Слика
  GRAVY TRAIN  Gravy Train  (Vertigo,1970) - Progressive rock       Their debut shows Gravy Train as a brave and daring underground band, heavily influenced by and derivative of other prog/hard acts of the time, yet actually trying to push the boundaries forward. Unfortunately, since the album bombed, the guys preferred to dump all the experimentation of these songs in favour of a smoother, more commercial sound later on, which totally destroyed their idiosyncrasy and forever nailed them as second-rate good-for-nothings.
