FATHER RICHARD HOLUNG & FRIENDS( 1974 Canada )

More convincing samples of reggae, calypso and acoustic ballads, many of which also appear on the above albums. Titles like ‘Magnificat’, ‘Take Me John-John’, ‘Babylon A Catch Me’, ‘Psalm 137’ and ‘Star Lullaby’. I’ve seen at least three different pressings and covers for this album. The copy I’m working off of comes from Canada and is on the same label as Apocalypse’s Sometime – Someplace. (Ken Scott - Archivist)

Please those who download this album go to Fr. Holung’s website and make a donation. Fr. Holung sold these LP’s to raise money for his ministry which is still in operation. It seems only fitting that we should continue to support this brother today.

BILL ATWOOD

Rich-voiced Englishman’s serving of light rock significantly buoyed by the easily-recognizable synths of After The Fire’s Peter Banks. Atwood’s vocals approach the resonance of John Michael Talbot on the mellow acoustic ballads while Banks’ keyboards give several tunes a light bounce. This album could have been a dud in the hands of a weak producer, but John Pantry captures a moody feel by allowing the acoustic guitars to stand out, enhanced by violin, cello, and background vocals by the group Cloud. Throw another log on the fire, kick back, and tune in. (Ken Scott - Archivist)

VATTEN

Tungt Vatten (Prophone PROP 7756) 1975 Sweden *

The award for the most avant-garde sanctified ‘70s sounds would have to go to the custom debut of the Swedish trio Vatten. Man this thing is hardcore strange! Absolutely raw, loud, stripped-down, grungy, mean, lowdown, thunderous blues rock that can plod along at a pace that makes Black Sabbath seem fast. Or they just might burst out with an up-tempo jam that before you know it has degenerated into an improvisational free-form noise bash devoid of anything remotely resembling melody. Guitarist Tomas Ernvik absolutely shreds on the extended leads, fuzzed, phased, feedbacked - I can almost picture him setting his guitar on fire!. All vocals growled out in the native tongue with occasional ‘Gud’ or ‘Kristus’ to remind you that “it’s Christian”. Some boogie-woogie, jazz rock, and a couple tunes in the 7-8 minute range, one of them an atmospheric experimental psychedelic thing with what sounds like gurgly underwater vocals. Nifty gatefold cover.

(Ken Scott - Archivist)

The Title in English would be "Heavy Water".

Tracks:

01. Jag är trött (I am tired)
02. Du kämpar (You are fighting)
03. När du… (When you…)
04. Egoismen (The Egoism)
05. Tempora Mutantur (Temporary Mutantur)
06. Svaret (The Answer)
07. Förtröstan (Reliance)
08. Inget att förlora (Nothing to Lose)
09. Glädjesprutan (The burst of joy)
