all about the Shiva Shankar Jones acid-overground spectacle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quintessence were signed and recorded on the now highly sought (pink-eye era) UK Island label and creating three or so excellent albums... 50 years onward are highly collectible artifacts
Their early album "DIVE DEEP" is housed in an suitable attractive eye-popping designed gatefold cover.
Recorded in 1970 their "DIVE DEEP" LP is one of the best works by the legendary Quintessence ...creating superb Indian-laced psychedelic progressive rock fondly remembered by 1970 era London Underground psych & prog 'heads'
It was business as usual with Quintessence's "Dive Deep", and just as enjoyable than ever before, the band delivering thoroughly delightful material. After a mellow flowing "Dive Deep" title-track, we're taken to the trip, diving deep into adventurous acid guitar dominated wonders with the lengthy "Dance for the One" where Raja Ram explores and mixes in his whirling flute-techniques he first introduced on "Prisms" from the previous album now with the whole band backing him -- including some Mellotron from Shiva far in the background.
"Brahman" is one of the best melodies on the record, and remains among a favorite by fans of the group. "The Seer" is a very nice ballad that features more Mellotron from Shiva, although he never allowed the instrument to be very dominant in the music the few places where he used it. The second side is opened with sitar in "Epitaph for Tomorrow" where the band's eastern-influenced progressive rock sound was mixed with what best can be described as epic heavy psych rock. The result is really powerful and exciting, and stands as one of their most ambitious songs. The album closes on a high note with the sitar drones & gorgeous chant of "Sri Ram Chant" that is next to "Chant" from their first LP as the best track they ever did in this style, and here with an even more epic feel. Quintessence were overall excellent, the original 'trippers' band, and should have gone on with throngs of followers as in the 'Dead Heads' that followed the Grateful Dead far and wide...
