I miss this album,
it got lost during the rock'n roll years.
Thanks for putting these two up Jahn - I had not been aware of this band before. But really, it did crystallise something for me, which I have been pondering recently. You have to admire Ginger, he is the real deal. But the difference between these other musicians and Cream, is that you can't help visualising that bass and guitarist combining with Ginger. To be honest, I like these guy's music, and I would have valued the album back in the days... Yet, despite their excellent musicianship, especially the guitarist, they lack something unique among creatures which the Cream members had amply. What is it? The music is good stuff, but some spark of numinosity is missing that infused Cream - a subterranean power.
And that spark is what we seek in others we meet. We can value their skill or dedication, or even their feather display, but in the end, only some souls have been down to the water and back - although why this happens even before birth is a mystery. Some have it, yet still require a refresher course to the water again in this life, like George Harrison, which John Lennon didn't need - but that made George something extra special.
