BUDGIE "Power Supply" 1980

Budgie was for me a cornerstone to more than one way. He was first and foremost the first group allowed me to delve into the mysteries of dark heavy metal, in this world of insider groups, cults. So I discovered there was life beyond The Who, Led Zeppelin and AC / DC. As a result, I became a sort of specialist obscure original to my comrades.
My discovery of this seminal Welsh trio effected through a compilation of the first five albums, the classics, but I quickly discovered that the band's career took several start, including that of 1979.
At that time, gave everything Budgie: 7 albums, 10 years on the road, the last three in Canada and the USA to try to penetrate, and eventually by much. Only "Bandolier" album of 1975, reached a difficult 49th place in the British charts, before taking the punk the mug. The turn over trading records following criticism is unconvincing, and Budgie have always seen her guitarist Tony Bourge, withdraw, worn by so many vain efforts.
Shelley Burke, bassist-singer and band leader, hiring temporary Rob Kendrick, former guitarist in Trapeze. But it is two that Shelley and drummer Tony Williams defeated back in Britain. Hope is reborn yet when the two fellows saw the excitement of the heavy metal scene of the time.
They hired guitarist Big John Thomas, a member of a group of hard-blues English, George Hatcher Band, and recorded an EP under particularly hairy "If Swallowed Do Not Induce Vomiting. And first observation: Budgie has the balls. Because how do you explain the power of these 4 songs, except by deep frustration find themselves virtually to zero after ten years of career?
Dice "Wildfire," and its killer riff, backed by a powerful rhythm and square, we enter the heavy metal of the 80s, but with this key seventies blues Budgie avoids falling into the power-metal container.
And "Power Supply", published in 1980, does not help matters. Instead, Budgie is directly as the godfather of Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, Saxon and other Holocaust Tygers Of Pan Tang. Even before the NWOBHM explosion taking place in 1980, Budgie is already in the ranks, and is one of the most formidable.
For "Power Supply" is a hard city, like the grimy steel mills of Sheffield. Electrical, wild, returned inside, powerful, it spares nothing to the listener. Obviously, there is the melodic touch of Shelley, the thin line that holds the music Budgie between menacing smoothness and absolute violence.
This is particularly true on the incredible "Gunslinger" sweet melody sound a bit worrying it gradually becomes electrified, before plunging into a deluge of decibels and sparkling solos Thomas. Yet we can say that Budgie has tightened its music seriously, titles do not spread beyond six minutes against the sometimes ten starts. The guitar sound is tighter, too, away from the riffs and solos of iommisants Bourge.
In fact, Budgie is now a band with songs more square. All are shaped banners proud, hymns led by riffs simple but direct and effective, and uncompromising. The atomic "Hellbender," the powerful "Power Supply", the enormous "Heavy Revolution, and the final and heavy" Crime Against The Wolrd "are real gems. But there is always the soul, fragile side, sickly, including "Secrets In My Head" and "Time To Remember".
short, this album is a classic in the sense that music speaks to the heart of an immediate, flawless. Subsequently, Budgie will further trade concessions to stick to the sound of the time, drifting hard FM. Suddenly, "Power Supply" is really the band's most spontaneous, most vindictive, black diamond which imposed Budgie definitely be a very large group of heavy-metal.
