MINTY CLEAN ~~~ FINAL COLLECTION COPY
.............................................
- ARZACHEL , the album is rightly hailed as a lost gem of underground British rock and it is an important and essential album not least because it links the psychedelic lunacy of Pink Floyd and the beginning of the Progressive music of the Canterbury scene. Legendary highly entertaining recommended journey into psychedelic progressive space rock
- Formed by Steve Hillage and Dave Stewart in 1967, ARZACHEL were a straight psychedelic outfit with a summer residency on the Isle of Wight. When Hillage left for University in 1968, the remaining remembers stayed together and started playing original material. This subsequently led to a contract with Decca records and a change of name to
- The EGG
Shortly after they had signed to Decca, they were offered a day in the studio to record a psychedelic album
The album released in 1969 under the name of Azachel, and for contractual reasons all of the musicians on the album were given fake names and biographies in the back cover liner-notes. -
It’s incredible that this album was put together in just one day. The musicianship never falls below awe-inspiring throughout, which is an extraordinary feat in itself as not one of the players were yet in their twenties.
The sense of fun is evident throughout the album, especially on side one. “Garden of Earthly Delights” kicks things off with some very Deep Purple sounding organ swathes under crunching power chords and fat drum breaks, before descending into pleasing psych-pop territory, with decidedly English, whimsical vocals and a soaring guitar workout from Hillage.
“Azaroth” is more sinister, with Stewart’s organ set to “church” and some melodramatic vocals. The instrumental “Queen St Gang” has long been a favourite of beat diggers, with its lazy break-beat and heavy funk bass-line. With swathes of organ and an incessant groove, the track comes across as a slick piece of cosmic sixties soul and could quite happily find its way onto any KPM library record.
“Leg” begins with carnival-esque organ line before exploding into a heavy blues riff and pounding drums. It’s highly uncommon in the other blues rock groups of the sixties, but nevertheless it’s an awesome track, full of fire and fury and some memorable guitar solos.
Metempsychosis
The second half of the album is more experimental than the first, the two cuts being more in the vicinity of wild cosmic jams. “Clean Innocent Fun” is an epic blues rock number. Campbell and Brooks lay out a slow rhythm for guitarist Hillage to star-shine explode over Stewart’s organ chords, before quickening the pace and turning the track into a full on psychedelic jam.WOW !
The massive sprawling “Metempsychosis” closes the album with its 16 minutes of Pink Floyd-esque experimentation. There are true moments of inspiration and inventive playing on this track, and the fact that the band holds it all together over the course of the 16 mins is a testament to the sheer musicality of ARZACHEL
- hint: There is no difference in the $800+ valued 1969 UK British EVOLUTION masters from this exact 1969 Spain issue ~~~
- all in the same...
- 1970 original MINT CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: "M-" super colorful, CLEAN sharp BEAUTY fragile cover appears terrific when compared to the drab USA issue ... quite a difference !
