ELECTRIC SUN-EARTHQUAKE-

After leaving Scorpions, Uli Jon Roth put together this trio with exceptional musicians, not only himself but the -God sent to man- drummer Clive Edwards. This, the only album for Mr. Edwards, just crack you up in a new demensional travel only few guitarist could endeavour. This album is a true milestone in German efficiency and it never fail to deliver.

The production is timetypical of the late 70´s but here you also got brilliant vocals, a guitarsound to die for and the Dynamics are just…perfect! As this is Another direction for Uli Jon Roth there is no way to make a comparison to his erlier work because this is just plain better than anything else he´d achieved Before. A Very good album!

Whatabout the drummer, Clive Edwards?? As you already have predicted, this is one of the great drummer´s from Great Britain. The solid striking abilities together with perfect timing and just that “precognizion” way of hitting with perfect Dynamics gives you  one of the reasons to buy this album. The drive is laid back on purpose due to which song you are listening to and yet in every tuneyou will hear Mr Edwards explode in technical eargasm´s that just brings that BIG smile to your face. This is one of the best performances ever recorded. This the way to play drums, not hitting them….. 🙂

So, if you´re in for Hard/Space/Prog/Kraut rock with a Heavy seasoning of “Hendrix spice” you probably already got this album. For you newcomer´s out there this is the benchmark to prove yourself in the Genre. Great copies are out there for a descent buck but the tip is to go for the vinylfair experience. To find this precious gem is just pure joy. Almost as good as a Cold beer on the beach in the summer.. bikini´s, the ocean and Music…what more is there to ask for?? This album hits the Nail in one stroke!
