Oldish Psych and Prog

Their album, which was produced by Trevor Walters, is now a minor collectable. It contains a reasonable version of Season Of The Witch and a less impressive cover of Davidson's Angry Faces, but it's the group and Ian Willis compositions which catch the ear. The best group compositions are Cold Embrace, The Dark Lord and Midsummer Nights Dream. All three are heavyish psychedelic rock with some good guitar work. Willis' contributions ranged from Escalator, another heavy, quite psychedelic number and probably the album's finest moment to the mellower The Sky Is Burning and the sensitive, slightly Eastern-influenced Yesterlove. Four album tracks also appeared on an EP.

The Psychedelic Salvage Co, Vol. 1 includes Horse, which is well worth a listen. Vol. 2 of the same series includes their reasonable stab at Back Door Man. Neither of these two cuts were on their album. 'Lemmy' was later in Hawkwind and Motorhead.
