ALBUM REVIEW
1st album by brilliant British Prog band Kingdom Come led by singer Arthur Brown. Following the collapse of The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown (soon after drummer Drachen Theaker was fired and replaced for a brief time by Carl Palmer, who together with Vincent Crane left the band to start the great Atomic Rooster) Brown started to put together his new band. Eventually he was joined by guitarist Andrew Dalby, keyboardists Julian Brown and Michael Harris, bassist Desmond Fisher and drummer Martin Steer, creating a superb outfit capable of playing outstanding music. Combining elements of Art-Rock, Prog, Psychedelia, avant-garde, Jazz and even Classical, this was music eons ahead of its time. This music is revolutionary and outrageous, intelligent and funny, full of complex compositions with frequent rhythm shifts and multi-melodic themes; in short dazzling every step of the way. Brown's unique vocal delivery adds another dimension to the already multifaceted package. Sadly the music was not appreciated at the time of its release and only decades later discovered as a true gem, as rightly deserved. Brilliant stuff and a must for every Prog fan!
