Essendo questo l'unico disco che ho sentito di questo gruppo, non potrò fare il confronto con gli altri dischi di questo gruppo, tristemente senza nessuna recensione.

Orbene, a me tocca questo compito, dato che questo discone merita una recensione.

Non mi metterò a descrivere tutte le canzoni ma solo quelle che mi hanno stupito maggiormente, prima tra tutte "Open Up Said The World At The Door", pezzone di otto minuti con elementi di jazz (l'assolo di batteria per fare un esempio) e musica classica affiancati a sitar e altri elementi inusuali e chitarre elettriche e coretti eseguiti magnificamente! Ascolterete un 'casino' talmente complesso che ci vorrà più di un ascolto per comprenderlo appieno.

Non da meno il pezzo "What?", coronato da una certa inquietudine e da un alone di rassegnazione che lo rendono una canzone memorabile, ovviamente con ottimi cori e chitarre, con la voce principale quasi aliena grazie a non so che effetti.

Per concludere la magnifica "Looking On", che ora sprizza energia e virtuosismo tra un crescendo di voce e chitarra e ottimi riff di piano. Un pezzo che vi lascerà a bocca aperta.

Ovviamente non minori sono "Turkish Tram Conductor Blues", "When Alice Comes Back to the Farm", "Brontosaurus" e "Feel Too Good" ma le sopra citate mi hanno lasciato a bocca aperta.

Quindi questo è un disco che vale veramente la pena di ascoltare.

01   Looking On (07:48)

02   Turkish Tram Conductor Blues (04:38)

Hey Mr. judge, your trams are coming down the line
The cargo ain't too much if you can chase the friends of mine
I heard they smuggle in the goods
Along the western union line

Once on a time the...kids...
Been so unkind run over the inspector man
Discovered they were yellow
Finally threw them in the can

Chorus
Turn over turn over

Turn over turn over
Turn over turn over
Id hate to throw you back again
Oh yes

Turn the volume up until you blow the speaker cone
Hey Mr. judge you have to give your dog a bone
Theres a...in the rhino kitchen
Send him on a china call

Repeat first verse

Chorus

03   What? (06:42)

04   When Alice Comes Back to the Farm (03:40)

Jenny had a bawl at me the other night
She threw it up an' drove away.
So I made a call completely outta sight
Hope to put it right today

When Alice comes back to the farm
I won't be in the cold tonight.
When Alice comes back to the farm
You know it's gonna be alright. yeah

Gimme an appointment put me in the light
That's a taste of what she needs.

Such a disappointment daddy's in the right.
Time for tearing out the weeds

When Alice comes back to the farm
I won't be in the cold tonight.
When Alice comes back to the farm,
You know it's gonna be alright, yeah.

Relax now baby that woman won't get past my door
I believe, I believe that woman won't pass my door
She won't be raisin' no alarm
Don't get around much any more

05   Open Up Said the World at the Door (07:10)

Can you believe no one has called anymore since the ball that was
Thrown in the spring
Brother, beware,
Nobody dare anymore since the days back when balls were the thing

Open up said the world at the door

Swimming around out in the hall
In the ground til she finds what she lost years ago
In a nightdress, dirty old vest, she never rests,

But the old folks at home never know

Open up said the world at the door

What are (? ) the heart, guess it's a part of the tale and the feeling
That's being with each (? )
Brother, beware,
Nobody dare anymore since the days back when balls were the thing

Open up said the world at the door

06   Brontosaurus (04:25)

Well her sister used to hate it,
So I never thought she'd make it.
But she threw you all
Supposing in a spangle wrapper.

She will let you stroke her head,
But if you move away your dead.
She just break you up
Before you realize it's happened.

Chorus:
But she can really do the brontosaurus
And she can scream the heeby jeeby for us.
Until you know what she's really got
'cos she can do it loud
Well, she can do it, do it, do it!

Now her daddy's getting old
And he seemed to lose control
When the brontosaurus
Stormed into the house to trap her.

Well her sister used to hate it
So I never thought she'd make it.
Until she shook you up
Exactly like a firecracker

Chorus:
Really do the brontosaurus
And she can scream the hee-by jee-by for us.
Well you know she can really rock
So do it, do it now.

07   Feel Too Good (09:30)

She's got me stolen
So you wonder why
Man I was rollin'
She has all I got

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can I talk to you?

Met her in the garden
Taking the stairway home
Something hits me harder
Hits me like a stone

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can I talk to you?

If it should be questioned
I can feel the heat

Mind her reflection
Stops you in the street

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can I talk to you?

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can I talk to you?

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can I talk to you?

I feel too good
Feel too good feel too good
Yeah hey yeah
What can you do?
