March 1978 Records Paper Sun Classified MARCH 1978 MONTHLY BLOODMOBILE SCHEDULE PAGE 11 By Stephen Spellicy Ouster and Eno Being a rather obscure import .from West Germany you won’t find this in many record shops. However, if you enjoy contempor ary avant-garde, accoustic, syn thesized music—this is it. A. Ultravox!: Ha! Ha! Ha! For thè second time,\Ultravox with all their fervor, moods and madness, has made me nervous. Side one offers “Fear in the Western World,” a song that portrays bureaucratic, technologi cal life as a sociological, emotional decay. That idea is present throughout the album, ie on “Artificai Life\ John Foxx sings rather dramatically “I Want To Be A sTranger\ probably because he alienated by what he perceives to belife. After this rock orgy, the last track on the album presents “Hiroshima Mon Amour.” Begin ning with a kraftwork electronics reff and then a sax, it is a musical sedative. B plus. New Triumvirati: Pompeii Pompeii is a concept album with much imagination ,-=and musical com p etence. U n fortunately, Jurgen Fritz, the groups creative input seems stuck in a ‘Tarkus’ time warp. His compositions and synthesizers are not unlike thos of E.L.P. The most significant aspect here is the addition of Curt Cress. Formerly with Klaus Doldinger’s Passport, (whose influence on jazz-rock is simply tremendous) Cress established a reputation as Germany's best percussionionist. He certainly has helped the group, but not quite enough to jar Jurgen loose. C plus. Graham Parker and the Rumour: Stick to me For the most part this is crisp, clean rock and roll, created by an ex-gas station attendant and studio musicians. Some of the better tunes include; ‘Watch the Moon Come Down,’ ‘Thunder and Rain,’ ‘Soul on Ice’ and my favorite, ‘The Heat in Harlem’, which sounds like a Broadway musical. An excellent album with only one problem—Bruce Spring- stein did this years ago. B. Integalactic Touring Band A confusing array of commercial nonsence and not well thought out. Dave Cousins of Strawbs, Annie Haslem of Renaisance and Larry Fast made a mistake in helping this venture. D. Brian Eno: Before and After Science A very important and aesthetic work, this is also titled “Fourteen Pictures,” because in addition to the ten cuts on the album there are four offset prints from water colors. Creating vivid-pictures of peace, adventure, time and beauty with his vocals, pianos, modified guitars, and various synthesizers, “Fourteen Pictures” is reminiscent of Eno’s now famous “Another Green World.” Influenced alittle by David Bowie and a lot by a German synthi group called Cluster, Eno has created a beautiful group of fantasies. Musicians includ Phil Collins and Percy Jones of Brand X, Robert Fripp, Phil Manzanera, Cluster on “By this River,\ and others. Import. A. Camel: Rain Dances One of their most successful- albums to date, Camel seems to have experienced a renaissance of sorts. With the addition of Richard Sinclair on bass and vocals (ex-Caravan and Hatfield and the North Founding member) Camel finally has a strong vocalist to complement the groups revit alized instrumental emphasis. The musical direction on this album takes is similarto most progressive British rock. Some where between Genesis and Eno. I should also include that guest Mel Collins, adds some very fervent licks on various sax’s throughout the album. I love it. A. Shakti: Natural Elements The combination of ‘modern’ East Indian music via violin with the smooth, flowing articulate guitar of John Mclaughlin work out nicely on “Natural Elements. There is now no need to fear this type of music for Mclaughlin has almost made it commercial, ex ample—a song titled, “Get Down Andruti.” B plus. Stomu Yamahta’s “Go Too Not quite your ususal jazzrock- funk, “Go too” is comprised of A1 “Return to Forever” - DiMeola, Mike “Santana” Shrieve, Paul \Headhunter” Jackson, Lind Lewis (remëmber her?) and perhaps the best synthesist in modern recording-Klaus Schulze. Except for some percussion and synthi, Stomu Yamashta spends time connecting the tunes and by being between and around his players. The music is somewhat commer cial and not in the least Japanese. Also Yamashta’s music seems void of his former modern classical ideas. (He has several avant-garde albums with Island records). Nice _ j «il n-eAimH R nlns.
