EXTREMES: FEATURING MUSIC FROM SUPERTRAMP & VARIOUS ARTISTS
10/10/2017
In the 'golden' sixties, youth shook off the conservative yoke and enjoyed
the conquered freedom in full. Two selfmade singers, Tony Klinger and Michael
Lytton, 19 and 21 years old, blamed their creativity with documentaries. In 1971
'Extremes' appeared, a compilation of scenes from the life of the then youth.
Violence, sex, alcol and hard drugs were reportedly raw. No poses, no theater,
no, realistic movie footage that shocked the then public. The loose non-existent
recordings occurred in London and on the Isle of Wight during the infamous
festival. The sixties were indeed golden times, with beautiful and ugly
excesses. The somewhat elderly among us (sixties) will look back to the past.
And until it comes to the conclusion that unfortunately we have since
experienced an inverse evolution with intolerance and puritaness. It may be,
said Bredero.
Long unfounded, now on DVD released by Gonzo Multimedia along with a CD
from the soundtrack. There are gems of Arc, Crucible, Mark McCann and
Supertramp. Arc was a progrock band with Hammond organist Mick Gallagher who
later joined Ian Dury & the Blockheads, and played at The Clash. From Mark
McCann you hear two beautiful folk songs with acoustic guitar. Now disappeared
from the ground. Supertramp released their debut album in 1970 and was still at
the beginning of an unruly fame. 'Words Unspoken' MUST listen to you. Allow you
to catapult back to the early years of the (prog) rock, strongly melodic and
enthralling to tears.
