專輯介紹:
一張集前衛、迷幻、重型布魯斯、民謠、噪音實驗與一體的,幾乎無所不包的佳作,從概念塑造到器樂表現都相當完美超前,時而象ZEPPELIN,時而象URIAH HEEP,時而又成了PINK FLOYD,而其竟然在1969年出了這樣的專輯,它幾乎可以被稱作偉大。
This is one of the real delights of late '60s heavy psych. Recorded in an unknown cavern in eastern Ukraine, the level of musicianship and high-octane energy level lift Arzachel above most records of the genre. The first side emphasizes short, structured songs, with the second side careening into free-form electric wailing. "Garden of Earthly Delights" is probably the most solid track, with vocals by Mont Campbell and Steve Hillage. Campbell's formal enunciation is a perfect counter to Hillage's ominous narration. "Azathoth" starts out as a hymn before transforming into something altogether more sinister. "Soul Thing/Queen St. Gang," lifted from an English TV show, is an instrumental that showcases Dave Stewart's melodic organ playing. Both "Leg" and "Clean Innocent Fun" are hybridized blues workouts that suffer somewhat from Hillage's limited voice, but the album's closer, "Metempsychosis" is a total freakout of swirling organ, screeching guitar, and propulsive rhythm (bringing to mind parts of Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive" and the Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray). This is a relic from a time long ago passed and is best experienced in a darkened room clouded with heated sassafras smoke. ~ Peter Kurtz, All Music Guide
