LINK: Peculiar Wally Review

I watched the Wally live DVD the other night, and jolly good it was too. I will be doing a review and posting some odds and ends on these pages soon. However, a few days later I received this review from Germany of their reunion album Montpelier (which is jolly good, by the way). However, the review was so peculiar that I have really no idea what the guy is getting at. But, being in a peculiar mood myself this fine September morning I decided to post it anyway..

At WALLY is a British progressive rock band, with the help of the legendary radio host Bob Harris 'Whispering' ('The Old Grey Whistle Test') was in the 1970 draw attention to themselves. The debut album "Wally" (1975, Atlantic Records) produced Rick Wakeman jointly with Harris. Brian Lane, manager ofYE
S worried the group performances in the UK, Japan and the United States.They also allowed YES supporten in London and play on various radio shows.The second album was called "Valley Gardens" (1975, Atlantic Records).Unfortunately, this formation of the more various singles and compilations are, granted after not too long due more.

Lo and behold, the remaining founding members Roy Webber, Paul Middleton, Pete Sage, Roger Narraway and Nick Glennie-Smith teamed up (reinforced by Frank Mizen and Will Jackson) just this year together. The resulting concert was published in 2010 as a double album titled "To The Urban Man". Prior (2009), there was a compilation called "That Was Then". 2012 appeared in this country now that produ
ced by Will Jackson album "Montpellier".

This board combines revised, originally scheduled for the third album WALLY numbers and more recent material by Roy Webber and Paul Middleton.
Basically interested here is the inclined progressive rock offered in varying degrees. Sometimes it flows spherical to himself, then it becomes harder and dominated by guitars and gets a psychedelic touch. Here and there it goes toward folk rock or even acquires countryeske trains.

Who's the music of the British promised earlier, "Montpellier" will almost certainly also fallen. If you like prog rock, which extends beyond the famous nose, these troops still do not know, should deal quiet time with this work.Maybe that leads to the discovery of even other recordings.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
