Black Widow was a
rather creative band in the early seventies. No less than four albums were
composed in two year's time. And good ones!
Still, this fourth piece almost
never saw the light (which would have been a real pity IMO). Due to lack of
commercial success, the tapes remained unreleased during a period of no less
than twenty-five years!
This is by far their proggiest effort. Almost
symphonic at times: especially in the very good opener Sleighride. It is a jewel
of a song based on a classical theme. Flutes, organ and sweet vocals really made
this song a particular one. We are far from their debut album but since the band
was capable of changing from genre without losing in quality, who can blame
them?
The change is even more drastic when you listen to the pastoral More
Then a Day. Some very light song at the opposite of their heavier image. This
approach is confirmed during the next You're So Wrong although the chorus is
backed up with fine organ work. The flute is so sweet and the band is hardly
recognizable.
The psychedelic mood is also very present on this record
(remember, we were in 1972). The Waves is another track which features this
mood. Very much Floydian I must say. The organ work is again excellent and the
flute is not shy of. This album is a very good one so far.
One of the best
song from this album is the delicate Part Of A New Day. A mix between the early
Genesis and a more mature Tull. Vocal harmonies are excessively well crafted and
convey some folkish mood to it, even some Beach Boys sound! It is a very elegant
track, a marvellous delicacy. Totally unexpected from a band categorized to be
on the heavy side of the music (and who was not too much so really).
They got
back to their first source of inspiration during Floating which is more in the
heavy vein of their debut. It sounds pretty much psychedelic as well but it
isn't the first track like this.
The last couple of songs are not so
interesting but overall, it is a very pleasant album to discover. (ZowieZiggy
