"This disc has all of the album tragic."
IRON BUTTERFLY: "Sun And Steel" 1976
So here I am back. You tell me, this is at a minimum eight months that I make the shot, and that production of this blog fades over time, to achieve the layoffs the past two months. Say that work and my private life away from me my keyboard, which I have needed to get away for a time before you return, my dear friends, so loyal. What can you do with my personal hiccups? The Show Must Go On, as they say all the losers who have nothing else to say.
I must confess that in recent months have been for me as a sort of homecoming. I went back to my childhood, television series, comic books, cars that made me dream. I even went back to the scene of my childhood for the first time in 15 years. Thousand pictures came back to me, it was a real shock. And as absurd as it sounds, this disc is that I listened to it again recently.
Ironically finally, because in repeated comeback, Iron Butterfly is a serious contender. Returning for a peusur the history of this American quartet. It is considered one of the pioneers of Heavy Sound, thanks to his song "In A Gadda Da Vida" published in 1968 on the album of the same name. This disc will also be the first disc of Rock Platinum history, namely a million copies sold in the USA alone. At the time, training has stabilized with Doug Ingle on keyboards and vocals, Lee Dorman on bass, Ron Bushy on drums, and Erik Braunn on guitar.
The special sound of Iron Butterfly is this mix of heavy and psychedelic guitar, an electric organ accents funeral, and the big theatrical voice of Ingle making the band's music totally obsessive. The disc is very good, but it will not be alone. However, Iron Butterfly is completely overwhelmed by new formations that make it totally explosive arcane in less than six months. Led Zeppelin in particular, pulverize the heavy-rock pysché nascent forgotten. Iron Butterfly wagon joins the group now has-been since 1969 alongside the Blue Cheer and Vanilla Fudge. Thus was
time and business, and the rest of the band's discography died gently in the bottom discounters. And "Ball" in 1969, the "Live" in 1970 or the superb "Metamorphosis" in 1971 with the arrival of Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt and Mike Pinera instead of Braunn will achieve nothing. The group disappears in late 1971 amid general indifference.
Braunn Bushy and reform the group in 1974, hoping to ride the wave of progressive-rock-hard. Phil Kramer takes bass, and Bill Demartines keyboards. The first disc of this reformation, "Scorching Beauty", published in 1975, is rather weak, which seems surprising, and will, of course, no success. The second is called "Sun And Steel" in 1976 and it is very good.
This disc has all of the album tragic. A group bloodless, a full-floating period, between megalomaniacal delusions of mega-machines cocaïnées Rock Style Deep Purple, ELP, Genesis, Rolling Stones, and the other, the beginnings of Punk Urban with Johnny Thunder, Stiv Bators, The Damned, the Sex Pistols and the Ramones, of course.
For lovers of good taste, the pro-Philippe Manoeuvre, you can go throw up, this disc will leave you indifferent, because it speaks to the soul.
This disc, I said, is tragic. Iron Butterfly no longer meets the rooms, but toured the theaters, just filled with the aura of pale name. Their albums do not sell, and for sure, this reunion seems motivated only by money.
In 1976, the Rolling Stones released "Black And Blue" with "Fool To Cry" and Ford released the new Mustang looks like a Ford Escort. In addition, it has a V6. It's really crap. Fortunately, Led Zeppelin released "Presence", but again, if you do not put on a whiskey bottoms up after such a disk is that you do not life.
So, "Sun And Steel" is a very good record, and that nobody knows because nobody has ever heard. I'm not good voluntarily, as my musical lyricism suggests to me sometimes, because it is false.
Indeed, this album suffers as well say, three songs that spoil frankly not terrible overall, but make the rest totally delectable.
For it must still be pretty damn swell to start an album with "Sun And Steel", a title leaden riff. The keyboards and drums flexible lightens the mood a little. Braunn's voice, throaty and full, making the title both heavy and full of hope, like some wild flowers in a vacant lot where the first bulldozers struggle of a commercial zone. This title sets a melancholy mood that will be the tone of this album. Totally irrelevant in 1976, it is good to listen to the music for what it is and not for what it was at this time, that is to say completely shifted. The solo Braunn is successful, and announces nice nuggets. "Lightnin '" announcement of synth and talk box, Peter Frampton and Eagles syndrome requires. The title, incidentally not bad, cool yet. And what about the vapid and ridiculous " Beyond The Milky Way "or the boogie-country Nerdy" Free "which completes any listener.
But the brave again find their fortune with "Scion" this megalith of Heavy-Rock buries the above with great panache. We find the shores and the talent of "In A Gadda Da Vida." What is striking is that production stripped, live in the studio, as if you spoke the Butterfly. I found this fabulous title. The organ does qu'enluminer the melody while the guitar Braunn roared. The solo Demartines is a success, both air and possessed. Braunn tears his guts, and conspicuous by its lyrical music. He who was only playing with feedback is an accomplished musician who has a solo sense. Most importantly, he sings beautifully. The raspy voice of "Sun And Steel", the voice and sharp snapping of "Scion" and "Get It Out," is he.
This title is a sort of flash of hope, heavy and funky, recalling the only album by Beck, Bogert and Appice in 1973. The synths are unobtrusive and outmoded, but in no n'amochent song.
"I'm Right, I'm Wrong" starts on the mellotron, and could not enunciate the worst. But actually, this song is a great transition in the heavy-funk of 1973 and some English New Wave ahead. Tumbler influences, Beck, Bogert, Appice King Crimson, does this strange song deconstructed tamed after several plays.
"Watch The World Going By" is a title average sound, influenced by Paul McCartney. That's good, but not terrible.
remains the final nugget: "Scorching Beauty": This hard fact of mellotron riffs slip and spin is a splendor of mature melancholy. It is like a taste of dust in this song, like these sunny days of September in the seaside
And then confirm this impression. Separated into indifference Overall, Iron Butterfly will reform in general anonymity in the late 90s, without much success. Phil Kramer bassist of this first attempt, will be in the form of bones found in his minivan in 1999 after being reported missing in 1995.
This disc gives the strange impression of being on the edge, dizzy with the vertigo of existence that fails, this page of life that closes and takes you into the unknown.
