The third album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
The comeback album from this band after a fifty-four years long break.
....Or is it ? I suspect this album was recorded a year or two after the relase of their second album Waiters On The Dance back in 1971. The persons are more or less identical and the vocals are more or less the same. I refuse to believe that Jo Meek's vocals sounds the same this year as they sounded in 1971.
Anyway, this forty minutes long album is a very welcome addition to my record collection.
The music is psych rock with some symphonic prog and folk rock influences. This again as on their second album. The sound has not changed that much.
Jo Meek is... was a fantastic female vocalist in the Annie Haslam school of vocals. That makes the last two albums from this band pretty remarkable.
The music is gentle and a bit pastoral. The keyboards is also good, delivered by the band owner Julian Savarin.
The music and indeed this album is softly spoken throughout these forty minutes. It really grows on the listener.
As I wrote earlier this month when I reviewed their second album, this band is underrated. Their three albums deserve a lot more attention. That also includes this good album.
