Album Description

Reissued 1972 album. Ex-Renaissance bassist Louis Cennamo Had joined Steamhammer by the time of this LP's release in early 1972 though this was actually their last album. The lengthy 'Penumbra' dominated this 3 track effort which also featured contributions from the Yardbirds Keith Relf and Fuzzy Duck's Garth Watt-Roy.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Heavy Heavy Prog, 4 & 1/2 Stars.......2004-11-24

This all but forgotten UK band released this swansong in '72. I've heard it's their heaviest and weirdest after playing standard brit blues rock on previous albums. I can't comment since I've yet to hear any of the earlier releases, but this is heavy and spacey alright. Very tight instrumental workouts that don't go for flash, so much as atmosphere and texture. Comparable to a more demented Cream, a more garagey Crimson, or a doomier Zeppelin, perhaps. Even with all the layered fuzz, they play with an elegance befitting some of the italian prog bands of the day, ie. Osanna. If heavy experimental sounds of the '70s are your thing, this is most definitely worth your time.
