That Gasolin track is tight, btw.
Wanna buy the whole world copies of Cactus' "Restrictions" album right now. Some amazing, epic jams on there. Couple of throwaways but they're short and not annoying.
Also, PINK FAIRIES FINLAND FREAKOUT = AWESOME.

This drummer reminds me of a Bill Ward. "Evil" is great.

I found a remaindered cd copy of Silver Metre the other day @ HPB.

Silver Metre-It's pretty good. I was expecting something heavier. It's stripped down--Leigh Stevens comes off in check, playing simple rhythm guitar with o/d solos instead of piling on masses of sludge. The singer sounds like a mushmouthed Lee Michaels. The covers are somewhat far afield-- "Superstar" (as in Jesus Christ...) and three early Elton John songs, including "Ballad of a Well-Known Gun" which is like Country-Thud and my favorite song on the album.

That said, it still can get plenty heavy:

doesn't thud out of the gate (do flutes negate thud?) but the samples i've heard of the new Steel Mill reissue might appeal

It's getting too late for me to play the loud stuff (shhhh, the baby is sleeping), so I put on the album by ONE on Grunt from 72. Incomprehensible hippy gibberish!! But I love it. The singer pretends she is a trumpet and a flute!! At least I think she is a she.The singer had the best name in all of rock, too. Are you ready for it: REALITY "D" BLIPCROTCH !!!I wonder what the "D" stood for.
I wonder what the "D" stood for.
I kinda like this record.

Those first two Point Blank records are some good ole' rawk. They definitely have some awesome crunchy sounding guitars and lots of leads. You can see why Bill Ham signed them as they do have some ZZ tendencies in their sound.

This new Cherry Red box, We're An American Band: A Journey Through The USA Hard Rock Scene 1967-1973, is pretty good. I'm working on a lengthy review; all the usual suspects are represented, with one notable exception: nothing by the Amboy Dukes.

No Bob Seger System stuff, either.
