Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars These are strange blues.......2005-09-20

a blues based band locked into some progressive rock nuances. i am not a big blues fan, so i can't give this band all the praise that they may deserve. but this is pretty good collection of songs. "Valentyne Suite" would be the starting place for this band. Colosseum is for those who like a bit of unusual spice added to their blues plate. if that is your thing, then buy these Colosseum records and dig deep. enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant and timeless..........2005-09-05

Featuring some of the best, road-honed musicians from the UK's mid/late 60's R&B scene, Colosseum's first release is one of the most interesting & exciting albums of its era. Why? Well first off it's underpinned throughout by some quite superb playing, including Dick Heckstall-Smith's wonderfully gutsy, brilliantly executed sax breaks, and a series of strong, unforgettable melodies that, on their own, make it a stand-out record. But what elevates it into a different league is the way it takes "standard" British Blues and shakes it up into something very different by incorporating large elements of modern jazz and the emerging progressive rock scene into the formula. Sure there are moments of self-indulgence, in particular on "Beware the Ides of March", but even these somehow fail to intrude on the incredibly powerful drive that just keeps pushing everything along. And on the way this self-evidently enthusiastic, highly ingenious and unfortunately short-lived combination deliver some quite stunning numbers, including the magnificent "Debut", "Walking in the Park", "Plenty Hard Luck", "Backwater Blues" and "The Road She Walked Before".

Brilliant and timeless "Those Who Are About to Die.." is a marvellous example of jazz-rock crashing head-on into the blues to produce an album that remains as effective and enjoyable today as it was all those years ago.
