Santana - Supernatural (1999) [2003 Release, DVD-Audio + Hi-Res]

Santana was still a respected rock veteran in 1999, but it had been years since he had a hit, even if he continued to fare well on the concert circuits.

There have been countless Roy Orbison collections over the years, but all too often overdubbed or stereo versions are used, which possess neither the presence nor the bite of his original mono 45rpm versions. Indeed, the best way to listen to Roy is to hear those original singles in glorious, pristine mono, sounding exactly as they did when you bought them all those decades ago.

Having re-established his reputation with the musically varied, lyrically enraged Freedom, Neil Young returned to being the lead guitarist of Crazy Horse for the musically homogenous, lyrically hopeful Ragged Glory. The album’s dominant sound was made by Young’s noisy guitar, which bordered on and sometimes slipped over into distortion, while Crazy Horse kept up the songs’ bright tempos.

Steamhammer – Speech (1972) [2010, Japan, Remastered]

Steamhammer - Speech (1972) [2010, Japan, Remastered]

Musically, Steamhammer was the cream of the crop of all rock bands from their thriving primordial era. In the realm of power rock trios, they were comparable to Cream.

Steamhammer – Mountains (1970) [2010, Japan, Remastered]

Steamhammer - Mountains (1970) [2010, Japan, Remastered]

Starting out as an electric blues group in the ’60s, Steamhammer transformed into a hard progressive rock group on this 1970 album. A highly collectable album in the British prog scene, the guitarists of this group — Martin Pugh and Martin Quittenton — were both, in fact, hardworking session musicians who made their names co-writing “Maggie May” with Rod Stewart for Stewart’s debut solo album. Although throughout they maintain their electric blues roots, this album is a fairly awkward and mediocre transition period for the group. However, hardcore collectors of progressive rock will find much to delight in. Continue reading “Steamhammer – Mountains (1970) [2010, Japan, Remastered]”
