Warm Dust is one of those rare groups that started
with a double album for a debut (Chicago Transit Authority being the other
example I can think of), and the least we can say is that for a double album, it
is a monster debut album. Just like Chicago, Warm Dust is a brass rock band,
with the particularity of not having any brass instruments (no trombone, trumpet
or tuba), so they might sit better with the compatriots If, if musically Warm
Dust was not way proggier than both other groups. The sextet is built around
future Rutherford-collab Paul Carrack on keys, Les Walker on vocals and the twin
wind section or Surguy and Soloman (seriously!! ;o)). Except for the drum stool,
the group will have a stable line-up throughout its three-album career. With a
rather tackily funny artwork, their debut album is quite an exploit, manageing
not only a double, but also not allowing weaker material, bar the bluesier
material (not inferior as such, but always a bit of a waste of time, once you
know the group's potential.
Developing a psychedelic brass rock that will
enthral most progheads that are not always at ease with Electric Flag or Blood,
Sweat And Tears soul & RnB adventures, Warm Dust keeps a very prog (almost
proto-prog at times) providing cool pastoral hippy atmospheres that many
woodwind instruments will enhance. The 11-mins Turbulance is the perfect
introduction to their world with plenty of interplay between all the musos, but
never getting too complex. The following 7-min+ Achromasia is a brassier thing
with saxes all over the place. On the flipside of the first disc starts the mega
emotive Circus with full dramatics for its 5-min+ duration, and finishes on the
10-mins+ title track, a narrative piece that goes into chaotic free jazz middle
section. Both tracks are sandwiching a blues- rock track Keep On Trucking, which
holds lesser interest no matter how well executed.
The second disc
soothes your ears with a gentle flute, soon to become bedevilled leading into
the organ-driven almost-8 mins Loosing Touch, which can drag on at half-speed
like Vanilla Fudge did, but never fails to deliver on emotions. The second blues
(the one For Pete that last over 7 minutes) of the album is much more
impressive, because of Walker's dramatic tone, pulled by devilish sax lines
underlining the complete madness of the track. A more upbeat Man Without A Straw
(very funk and brassy) and a Richie Havens cover Indian Rope Man (just as funky
and brassy) are giving a more Motown feel to this otherwise very progressive
album. But let's face it, early 70's Motown (from J Brown to Sly Stone and
George Clinton) has most progheads agreeing with their musical preferences, and
it is certainly the case with this writer. The much proggier 14-mins Wash My
Eyes has a full spectrum of ambiances and is a constantly evolving tune that
reaches complete and utter madness around the 6-minute mark before returning to
the organ-ic world it had left behind for a short while and a lengthy calm flute
leads the band into orgasm-ic apocalypse.
Exactly how Warm Dust is so
unknown to the public is a bit of a mystery, but eventually, one might see that
the small Trend label might have lacked the power to push the band through.
Nevertheless, Warm Dust's It All Came To
Pass is a small-unearthed gem that later albums will match in terms of
preciousness, all three waiting for a wider acceptance from a demanding
proghead. In either case, all three albums have received a semi-legit reissue
under the Red Fox label, but this writer cannot wait for fully legit releases
that would include a rare '70 single as bonus tracks. Very much worth the
frequent spins you'll give it in the next months following acquisition and the
still numerous spins during the rest of your life. A really shamefully forgotten
band along with Brainchild (one album) and Galliard (two albums). (Sean
