Pioneers

Swedish stable mates of Three Seasons,the band has a central core of 3 musicians,but a small army of others who appear on record and in concert.This is psychedelic,heavy blues rock firmly based in the 70s.The music is fairly straightforward and melodic,filled with a heavy Hammond organ sound reminiscent of Purple in places,Cream and even The Doors.At other times,the Allmans,ZZ Top and Gov`t Mule come to the fore.You get the feeling that the band had fun recording this album; this comes over in the quality of the playing. All the songs are strong and as I say,the performance of the band is also of a high standard.Ok,so none of what is on show is groundbreaking,but you`ll have to go some way to find a more pleasurable offering.I intend to get hold of some of the back catalogue,since this is a band worth exploring further.So if you are into groups like those mentioned above,then this will fit the bill for you.By-the-way,the version of Zeppelin`s Whole Lotta Love(the bonus track) whilst enjoyable enough,is,for me, the weakest track on the album.The one that precedes this "In My Kitchen" is probably the strongest.
