Product Description

BLACKFEATHER
(CD)
[ERA : 70s / Hard Rock, Psych-Prog ]

Aztec Records presents this fully re-mastered CD edition of the legendary Blackfeather album At the Mountains of Madness. Originally issued on Festival's newly inaugurated progressive label, Infinity, in April 1971, the record has had an extraordinary lifespan. It was a strong national seller back in the day and remains one of the most highly regarded heavy psych releases from the golden age of Australia's early 1970s rock scene, with original pressings of the LP commanding high prices on the collector market. The album is dominated by the fluid, inventive guitar playing of John Robinson, the strident vocals of the then 19-year-old Neale Johns and the agile drive of the powerful rhythm section. The songs mix that heavy progressive sound with psych inflected guitar, making them some of the finest examples of the genre. Highlights include the airy, seductive Seasons of Change (a classic single, featuring the late, great Bon Scott on recorder), the thunderous Zeppelin-styled Long Legged Lovely and the Clapton-esque On this Day that I Die. Beautifully re-mastered sound by the ever-reliable Gil Matthews, the audio quality is indeed impressive with sonic dynamics that reveal the full spectrum of sound on offer. Packaged in a deluxe 6 panel digipak, featuring bonus tracks and 24 page booklet with rare photos and liner notes.

Tracks : At the Mountains of Madness * On this Day that I Die * Seasons of Change Part 1 * Mangos Theme Part 2 * Long Legged Lovely * The Rat (Suite)/ Main Title (The Rat)/ The Trap Spanish Blues/ Blazwaorden (Land of Dreams)/ Finale (The Rat) * BONUS Tracks : Tomorrow Never Knows * Gimme Shelter

    Great listening and holds it's own against a lot of later and overseas offerings. Haunting melodies and great guitar work from a great band.
