666 По сути этот альбом - антология рок-музыки от The Beatles до Motorhead, от ZZ Top до Nick Cave - отовсюду мы взяли по чуть-чуть, чтобы переплавить все это в свой собственный музыкальный стиль. Получился мощный и самобытный гитарный хард-рок, крепко держащийся за наследие 70х!

about

This release is neither a typical stoner nor neo-psychedelic LP. One can characterize it as a mix of Motorhead with Nick Cave, the other would describe it as a cross between Pink Floyd and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Although, that’s quite a unique cocktail of heavy rock, blues, punk, funk and sometimes even prog the general sound of the record refers to classic 70s style with wide using of electro-organ (the DDR made VERMONA), vocal polyphony, epic solos and hard grooves. Besides, set of instruments used includes banjo (track 7), congas (track 1) and even brass section (track 5).

dprp.net review by Jerry van Kooten:
"The Flash Fever is a quartet hailing from Saint Petersburg. Their own description is "hard fuzz psychodelic [sic] rock". That description raised my interest. I know the psychedelic part can be quite diverse in interpretation. The word "psychedelic" is used to cover many things from slow stoner rock to The Beach Boys to heavy blues with an emphasis on the Hammond.

This album is a mixed offering. Songs like Set Me Free, Heartbreaker, Ain't Easy, and (I'll Be) Your Lion are melodic rock, towards the heavy end, still more diverse than AOR. I had to think of Dutch Sleeze Beeze for the first couple of tracks, the others have a bit of the Canadian band Prism or BTO.

But then came a song like No Way, which is more in line with Kula Shaker. Saturday Will Kill You and Gun are wonderful, slow and dirty psych blues songs like Steppenwolf when mixed with The Doors. Aint' Easy and especially Getting High are a hats-off to DeWolff. The album closer, Without You, is surprising, like Kula Shaker are jamming with the Beach Boys or early Pink Floyd. A little too happy for my taste for psychedelic music.

For the soloing, the guitar is the main instrument, the organ, save a few exceptions, is used for that psychedelic tapestry. This album has a good and clear production and mix. I am interested to hear their first album!"

Во благо злу
by Злурад

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Flash Fever II”

В эклектичную панк-агрегацию композеры с самого начала решили ввести трубу и горн. Не думаю, что это было их инновация, но тем не менее хаос и труба отлично сливаются вместе в едином духовом порыве. Почему? Потому что духовые, кроме геликона, это всегда почти человеческий голос, полностью https://resurgam.ucoz.ru/blog/zlurad_vo_blago_zlu_2019_zavisimyj_lejbl_digipak/2019-11-24-938 resurgam2716

Did already like the very first lp on R.A.I.G pretty much, but this and the one before beat that imho by far. Great record of great musicians, everybody with an open mind should listen. :) musicjunkie
