Man - 2 Ozs Of Plastic With A Hole In The Middle (1969)

 

The second album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, organ, harmonica and vocals.

This forty minutes long album was their second album that year. Which was not particularly unusual those days.  

Their debut album, Revelation, was a pretty good album and one that gave me an appetite for the rest of their albums. The music there was a blend of psychedelia, blues and some early symphonic prog. 

The band continued down the same route on this, the follow up album. The symphonic prog has largely gone though and the music is a lot harder this time around. There is indeed some hard rock here.

Hard psychedelia is a better label on the music here.

The album opens with a weird twelve minutes long psychedelic track. Then we get some more songs focused harder rock. 

The sound is good and ditto for the vocals. There is a lot of guitar solos here. 

There is no outstanding songs here and the music is not as good as on the debut album. This is still a decent album and one to check out.
