So You kind of YouLOVEThe early works ofThe classic symphonic prog bands but wish they had A bit more hair On their chest and weren't afraid To make A bit more noise? Then German band Twenty Sixty-Six and Then and their English language debut album ` Reflections On The Future From 1972 might be just what You 're after, A Mellotron and Hammond-dominated rocker that incorporates traces of early Genesis and VAN DER GRAAF GENERATORTo their crossover of late sixties / early seventies rock Sounds , plus A touch of Beggars' Opera and Nektar with traces ofPsychedelic and Space Rock explorations also worked into their punchy fuzzy tunes.
`At my Home 'is A To keyboards throughout), Dieter Bauer's mud-thick bass, Konstatin Bommarius's thrashing drums and A confident, raucous vocal From Geff Harrison (who is actually English, and would later be involved with other German prog-related groups such as Tritonus and KING Ping Meh). It's A reliable and addictive opener that ATOMIC ROOSTER DEEP PURPLE fans are sure ToLOVE , but The best is yet To come!

`Autumn 'holds A dreamy introduction of electric piano tiptoes and Mellotron wisps that rise into grand symphonic veils over humming Hammond organ. It kicks To LIFE of bite and reveals AHEAVY symphonic piece full of frantic little bursts, and listen ToThe way Harrison emulates Peter Gabriel's raspy croon in The final minutes! Retaining A trace of To its fantastical lyric, `Butterking 'constantly bombards The listener with booming Mellotron blasts, instantly reminding ofTheHEAVIER moments of VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR , and there's plenty of lengthy passages of runaway piano soloing, sillier vocal spots that again invoke Peter Gabriel and frantic organ pomp and whimsy backed by boisterous rumbles of drums To remind of `Trespass' era Genesis.

The flip-side's almost seventeen minute title track ` Reflections On The Future 'is mostly A A throat shredding lead vocal and Long bouts of histrionic guitar wailing, but it eventually drifts into ambling deep-space freeform sonic explorations ala early PINK Floyd or Nektar's `Journey ToThe Center of The Eye 'debut. Finally, drenched in scratchy Mellotron and glorious piano, short closer `How do You Feel 'both vocally and musically reminds of The stately VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR and Genesis moments with its murky regal dignity, instantly calling ToMind both Peter Hammill's overwrought drama and Peter Gabriel's wounded melancholic wail, and The chorus could have easily fit On The First few genesis albums.

Despite additional recordings To what ended up On Thelp (some ofThe bonus tracks here hint at A strong ELP / The Nice / Triumvirat-like bombastic dexterity), The band would sadly split up mere months after its release, leaving behind only this first-rate work that's in desperate need of some belated extra attention! if The above described mix of Sixties / Seventies Sounds Sounds enticing, then there's no higher recommendation than ` Reflections On The Future ', something ofA lost classic FromThe vintage prog period. FIVE Stars. (Aussie-Byrd-Brother / progarchives.com)
