High Tide never received more than a minimal amount of acceptance in their own country, but found a cult audience on the European continent.
Formed in 1969, they played progressive rock with some folk and hard influences. Tony Hill was the singer and guitarist,
Simon House played violin and keyboards, Peter Pavli handled the bass, and Roger Hadden played the drums.
They were signed to Liberty Records' U.K. division in 1969 and released two albums over the next year
-- Sea Shanties and a self-titled second album -- both of which featured dazzling guitar work by Hill and occasional striking
interplay between his instrument and House's violin. Simon House later became a member of Hawkwind, played with David Bowie,
and joined members of the Third Ear Band to perform on the soundtrack of Roman Polanski's movie Macbeth.
With the Misunderstood, Tony Hill co-wrote epochal psych-rock anthems like "Children of the Sun"; however,
while High Tide's sound has roots in the peace-and-love era, the band was also in tune with the post-psychedelic comedown a
t the decade's darker end. On Sea Shanties, there's nothing fey and flowery in Hill's bleak lyrics or his doomy
Jim Morrison-like delivery, and psychedelia's melodic whimsy is supplanted by a physicality more in line
with the visceral heft of metal progenitors such as Cream, Blue Cheer, and the Jeff Beck Group.
They forged some of the heavier sounds to emerge from Britain in 1969: tracks like
"Futilist's Lament" are matched only by Led Zeppelin for sheer weight...(AllMusic)
