Space Metal Classic

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that this record seems to form a literal sonic bridge between the Krautrock/British Psych Underground of the late '60s and the Hard Rock/Proto-Heavy Metal of the '70s. You can actually hear the transition between the two eras as the disc plays.



This sounds nothing like the subsequent recordings by this band and will probably not appeal to fans of their later, more famous work. However, fans of Hawkwind, Blue Cheer, Ash Ra Tempel, Black Sabbath and the Stooges need to give it a spin.



If you like this, also check out the first record by the Scorpions 'Lonesome Crow' for a similarly uncharacteristic record by a famous band.

I do'nt see how anyone would'nt love this album! Yeah, it's not like most of the rest of Their albums, but neither is Their newer stuff. A big difference on this one is that They start jammin and do'nt wanna stop. Star storm clocks in at 18;52, Flying at 26;30, I'd love to see Em go back to rockin like this, maybe some day...

Myself am an UFO fan from way back when-for the era this was released this defined progressive space rock as it should be-it is easy to become highly involved within the confines of this recording-it has a quasi-chameleon effect as it goes along-quite original and expansive.The mainstream albums etched in stone are of course-Phenomenon-No Heavy Petting-Lights Out-and Force It;;ok so people it aint got that Schenkar sound then again what does-saw them in Atlanta more than once-personally i would have loved more UFO albums along this format in the later years but it is not exactly a comercial product-it is well worth a listen-a downside if any the bass can be a bit overpowering at moments otherwise a wild ecclectic ride to a cosmic dimension..
