Album Description
The third collaboration between two giants of the rock world. Legendary CREAM bassist JACK BRUCE and ROBIN TROWER have put together a collection of psychedelic blues rock songs that hark back to DISRAELI GEARS.
This album also features virtuoso GARY HUSBAND on drums who has played with a range of artists from JOHN MCLAUGHLIN to LEVEL 42.
Customer Reviews
This time the dizzying potential of a Trower / Bruce collaboration is fully realised
BLT and Truce (in the early 80's) had some good moments but they were essentially RT and JB acting as session musicians for eash others individual songs. Seven Moons is the real deal, delivered in glorious spades ! It is a complete synergy of two majestic talents, this time firing on all cylinders both musically and lyrically and delivering powerful, somtimes unusual and very memorable songs. I found the album required multiple listening to eventually reach fully into all the multi-layered facets of the songs. Then you realise what a fabulous achievement this is. The playing from all players is stupendous and JB's vocals complement the style of songs perfectly. Wow does Gary Husband like his cymbals, but it works superbly. The title track is just brilliant with quirky lyrics and unusual chord sequences. There are no fillers, every song has its own special features. There's talk of some live work in the summer from this band, now that would be something worth seeing and more to the point - hearing !
High Quality Stuff!
This collaboration works very well and the material is excellent. Trower's playing is first class, pulling out all the stops and using a variety of techniques to wring the most out of what is first-class blues/rock material. Jack Bruce is solid (I have no trouble with his unmistakable vocals) and he has lost none of the old magic. Yes, these guys don't need each other to be stars, but their collaboration means a brighter overall display in the firmament! This is one of those albums that you'll play non-stop for a number of weeks. You'll keep coming back to it. For those who have not heard either artist for a while, then this will come as a very pleasant surprise. For our younger listeners, if you like Wolfmother, you'll love this. Highly recommended.
Classic visionary psychedelic rock
This is the third album from these two legends. Jack of course the man who singlehandedly revolutionized the electric bass as the mastermind and creative force behind one of the greatest bands ever: Cream. Whereas Robin graced the first five classic Procol Harum albums with some fiery, melodic guitar, before he had a revelation hearing Jimi Hendrix, which changed his playingstyle forever. So it's not surprising that this album really is 'Cream meets Hendrix' psychedelic blues at its finest.
It was painfully obvious at the otherwise historic and wonderful Cream-reunion shows in 2005 that Jack -due to cancer and a near-fatal livertransplant - was only a shadow of himself, esecially as vocalist, although he certainly put in a marvelous effort. But here his expressive, emotional and golden voice is back. And his bassplaying solid, inventive and inspired.
Robin shows that few others have grasped not only the sound and tone but also the spirit of Hendrix as deeply and profound as he. The drummer in this powertrio is the brilliant Gary Husband, a long time Bruce-collaborator, who has also played with Allan Holdsworth and John McLaughlin, and here he shines on every track with classic triorockdrumming, rather Mitch Mitchell-like.
The album is more or less recorded live in the studio, the vibes deep and spontaneous. The songs, all written by Bruce and Trower, great. The lyrics for the most part philosophical and spiritual with lines like: "Wanna stay where the light is streaming/ Find the one who's dreaming me".
A must for everyone into psychedelic rock and pure uncommercial, uncompromising MUSIC.
