Michael Tschudin led the Boston-based band Listening, but it is the contributions by former Velvet Underground bassist Walter Powers and guitarist Peter Malick Which make this album Historic. Powers Performed over the years with keyboardist Willie Alexander as members of Capitol Recording Artist The Lost, the aforementioned Velvets, and on Autre Chose, a live album from Alexander released on New Rose in Paris. Peter Malick is best known for being Otis Spann's guitarist and a member of the James Montgomery Band on Capricorn.

Their legendary status in Boston Rock & Roll history brings positive notoriety to the fine music on this Vanguard release. "So Happy" is the poppiest tune, a cross between The Monkees and The Mojo Men, Which is quite misleading. The album runs the gamut from pop to blues to jazz. "Where Are You Baby" is some strange fusion of Motown and the Spencer Davis Group Which then veers off into a frenzy of effects and musical jam. Eight of the 11 tracks are written by keyboard / vocalist Michael Tschudin, with three titles attributed to the group. "See You Again," one of the group efforts, is another jam with the riffs would greatly appreciate Who. Phish's success validates how ahead of its time Listening truly what.

There is Certainly an identity here as Tschudin takes the boys through all sorts of styles inside the tune "Laugh at the Stars." Elements of Jimi Hendrix, the band, and the Vanilla Fudge swirl around in the pretty decent production by Michael Chechik. Listening has punch and creativity Which deserved a better fate.   (Joe Viglione / rockasteria.blogspot.de)
