Folkrock

Original release 1971
Re-issue 2004 Sunrise Records

feat. Mick Kerensky, Paul Jolly, Jack O'Neill, Al Chambers Welcome Slaggers

Brooding progressive album from 1971 which has been compared very favourably to King Crimson jamming in a particularly dark and scary house.. with an owl. Okay maybe not an owl but you get the idea, it's scary, weird and unrelentingly dark. Fine progressive rock from a band with wild jazz inclinations and heads' full of Lovecraft and cobwebs.

... to a vitriolic electric piece of continuity from the Slags. This album represents a trail of images where been, where seen. They are very fierce, ikonik images. These tracks are not mere artifact, they are intensely personal, involving a great deal of idealistic responsibility. After all, we are not too different from each other, therefore each person will feel the relationship with these tracks...in turn, this tracking with close-ups. Keith Edwards
