Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1975, United States.

Debuut album van deze heavy Prog band uit de States.

Crack The Sky is een van mijn favoriete rockbands uit de zeventiger jaren; tegenwoordig bijgeschreven als Heavy Prog in de prog-archieven.
Voor mij blijft het echter gewoon inventieve rockmuziek met een apart randje.

The best album from CTS. Progressive elements together with an often very groovy 70"s hard rocking vibe. Very good arrangements within the group as well as horn and string sections. I like all the songs on the album but Ice is a very original track in 3/4 time. Its clever twists and effective breaks works fine all the way. Look out for nice sounding harmonies on I Don"t Have A Tie and Sleep. I love the kind of trippy seventies feel that this album represents which is already apparent on the opening tracks Hold On/Surf City which kind of transcends into eachother. Great musicianship and many fun moments on this their debut. Check it out! 

Voor liefhebbers van seventies rock, maar dan net even anders.
