RARE COLLECTIBLE 1973 BRITISH "DERAM" HIGH LEVEL PROGRESSIVE
WOLF
Canis Lupus
\ UK - DERAM RECORDS - SDL 14
TOP CLEAN! Collection Worthy Progressive Rarity!
...Original 1973 BRITISH first pressing on the famed UK DERAM label, and housed in a cool WOLF gatefold, by this highly talented British progressive group who delivers a stunning performances over both sides of their first album.
Though not very well known, nevertheless, a great progressive rock band who released this wonderful first album, full of impressive electrified violin, electric & acoustic guitars and VERY dynamic punchy bass! The drums are very well played and rather complex. The production is very well layered and performed like that of King Crimson, thanks to original Crimson member Ian McDonald (he also produced Fruupp) and also plays on one track as well. Leader Darryl Way is the former original Curved Air violinist, who teams up with talented Canadian bassist Dek Messecar, future Soft Machine guitarist John Etheridge and drummer Ian Mosley (who would, of course, go on join Marillion over a decade later.)
WOLF has their own distinct sound with influences from Curved air, Caravan, early 70's King Crimson and Gentle Giant; but - again, this album has a sound of its own, and this factor makes the band very interesting. The main themes are well constructed with memorable melodies infused by trade off violin & guitar passages that also soar in unison, making for a grand majestic sound... The lead vocals are very good, and surprisingly the keyboards are not extremely abundant, mainly consisting with a discreet electric & acoustic keyboard imput, and in a couple of spacy moog solos. Virtually all the tracks have highlights with "MacDonald's Lament" being an absolute a gem with its mellow crescendo featuring an unforgettable violin solo!
