THE BEST COPY WE'VE SEEN IN OVER 25 YEARS!!
Mandel's debut remains his best early work, introducing an accomplished blues-rock guitarist capable of producing smooth, fluid lines and a variety of tasteful distortion and buzzing via an assortment of tone pedals and customized amplifiers. He augmented his flash with an adventurous appetite for orchestrated, quasi-classical strings (especially in the eerie symphonic title cut), jazz-blues-rock fusion in the mold of The Electric Flag (as on "Before Six"), and even a bit of country in the presence of top steel guitarist Pete Drake. Available in its entirety on the reissue compilation The Mercury Years.
The amazing list of musicians featured on this pysch classic includes Kenny Buttrey and Pete Drake (of Bob Dylan's studio band circa "John Wesley Harding"), Armando Perazza (of Santana), Steve Miller (yes, of Steve Miller Band), Graham Bond (Jimi Hendrix), Charles Musselwhite, and others. The album is engineered and mastered by Eddie Kramer, Hendrix' engineer, which explains the intense, thick, fuzzy, driven guitar sound.
