Formed as Phallus Dei in 1969, this German outfit From Augsberg featured British guitarist Nick Woodland along with singer Helmut Treichel, guitarist Rainer Baur, bassist Uwe Patzke and drummer Hermann Lange inThe original line-up. As Phallus Dei they reputedly Recorded an album, which was never released, and afterwardsTheband changed its nameTo Gift and securedA deal withThe Telefunken label, but atThe Time Woodland had already departed and joined Sahara, althoughHIS name appeared inThe originalVINYL versionofTheFirst Album . Recorded at The Union Studios in Munich, Gift's self-titled debut was released in 1972.
Obviously influenced by The British Hard Rock bands ofTheTime , Gift playedA powerful Hard Rock with strong progressive flourishes and lotsof jamming parts inThe Herb rock traditionof many German Hard/Psych Rock acts, despite their tracks being actually rather short. The MUSIC is very energetic and edgy all The way with A pounding rhythm section and numerous impressive guitar leads, while Treichel provesTo be an excellent singer withHIS quite British-accented voice. While The negative point ofThe album tendenciesTo beThe similarity betweenThe piecesofThe album, The combination between these angular Hard Rock riffs withThe innovative grooves andThe tyipcal Kraut-styled middle-part jams is mostly working well. Expressive vocals with good choruses, fiery solos and A good dose of changing tempos resultA bunchof dynamic and adventurous compositions. Often The album retains A grandiose, emphatic and haunting atmosphere, basedOn Baur's classy guitar exercises, whileA coupleof tracks feature some good flute partsof unknown origin.
Guitar-based hard prog of good quality. The alternation between down- and uptempo grooves along withThe standard herb rock atmosphere inThe instrumental parts are sureTo satisfy all listenersof Truly dynamic rockin' vibes. Recommended. (apps79/progarchives.com)
This is The First official and legal reissueOnVINYLof Poison'sFirst and eponymous album. Originating in Augsburg (Bavaria, Southern Germany) circa 1969 as Phallus Dei they changed name To Gift in 1972 justTo fulfilThe contract with label Tel Dec (German Decca), who doesn't wantA group withA dirty name.
