This epic song is a real musical tour de force, featuring flamboyant flutes, heavy guitar riffing, boomingīass-lines and pounding percussion. Titus Groan have grabbed our attention with the lively opening number, it's time for the extended four-piece suite "Hall Ofīright Carvings". Morning to get us up out of bed and instil a spirit of vim and vigour and get-up-and-go energy to face the day ahead.Īlternatively, you could listen to some gentle and relaxing New Age music and roll over and go back to sleep again.
In fact, this is just the kind of energetic and spirited Jazz-Rock we could all do with listening to first thing in the Sound like they eat gravel for breakfast in the morning, but that's no less than what we'd expect from the best of British blues The singer has the same kind of rough raucous voice as Graham Bond. The album opens in rousing and rollicking fashion with "It Wasn't for You", a lively saxophonic blast of good old-fashionedīluesy Jazz-Rock, very much in the style of those other fine purveyors of uplifting funky fusion, Ginger Baker's Airforce and the Let's venture forth now into the fantastic fantasy world of Titus Groan. The 1989 CD reissue added three bonus tracks to Suite "Hall of Bright Carvings" with a running time of nearly twelve minutes. One and only self-titled album, released in 1970, contained five tracks all over five minutes long, including one extended TITUS GROAN were a short-lived British Jazz-Rock quartet, named after the first Gormenghast novel by Mervyn Peake. Posted Thursday, Ma| Review this album | Report (Review #2523450) Which is a shame the woodwind selection gives the album a really nice character that has gone unused in Progressive Rock since, making the release a fun listen for everyone. The only other song I like is Lady Fuschia (A character from Titus Groan)Īnyways, yeah this is a solid debut by a band that never made anything else. This song has great vocals and woodwind soloes, a real classic track about something really cool. Anyways yeah, Titus Groan (band) only released one album and I think choosing to be named after another artist who also never finished their life work is a very poetic beauty. Instead, the series was given a weird and deeply personal closing novel by the mans wife who cared for her partner as he lost his mind. Unfortunately, due to mental illness he was unable to complete the envisioned series which would have spanned the titular characters life. A classic trilogy of books he released in his life and a novella form his contribution to the franchise. In The Hall Of Bright Mountain Carvings is a nice song about the book series by Mervyne Peake, Gormenghast.
Most of the songs I find pretty average nineteen seventy British blues influenced hard rock fare, however, one song is good.
