In The Future

For whatever reason, this album kept cropping up in my Amazon recommendations, but, knowing what is best for me I didn't act upon it. Because I'm a full on METAL HEAD with a PROG PREDILICTION and I couldn't see how this would fit in with that. I mean, do you ever see anybody with "Black Mountain" embroidered on the back of their cut-off denim?Then, one Friday night after partaking of some falling down water it managed to inveigle its way into my basket. Then it arrived, and blow me, if it's not a full on darn good album?How would I describe it? Well maybe Jefferson Airplane meets Black Sabbath, maybe. Whatever it ROCKS with a full on 70s sensibility and it's stuffed full of MELLOTRON. Nice.Stand out track is the 17 minutes of Bright Lights which starts out in an Indie kind of way but ends up a full-on Hawkwind style wig out with (early) Floydian bits stuck in for good measure.The Finger says BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!!!!!!

All good. Many thanks.

ok LP.

Some reviewers mention Led Zep, The Floyd and other bands in a class of their own when reviewing Black Mountain. Don't expect that but do expect some clear references to that early 70's feel. On the plus side its innovative, lively stuff with a clear intention to bleed riffs dry - great in parts and the 'girl can sing'. On the down side, they lack a Gilmour or other class guitar act that would turn this into a cut above anything on the market. Definately worth a listen though.

You know Wolf Mother? This is more like that...I must have been on drugs when I clicked buy!!!

love black mountain now got all their cds
