a trip to the dark side.......2006-04-06

Lucifer's Friend are an intense pleasure! It's a shame their cds are out of print in the US. This, their 2nd album is a little more jazzy than their first, and I was probably thinking more of this one when I made the reference to Spirit in my review of their first album. There is also a flavor of HP Lovecraft in the mix, as well as Autosalvage (Peter Hesslein's almost garage/punk rythm playing). Hesslein's lead, in contrast, is complex and sophisticated. This album should certainly be listened to several times before judging it. There is alot to absorb that casual listening won't bring out. There is a dark atmosphere here, but this is, in my opinion, alot more than just occult laced rock. This is some very talented people making music, and they weren't content to remake their 1st album over and over as some fans would've liked. The 1st one is priceless, I'll grant you that, but this one (and the next few) has it's own place. The playing is as good as any one and the vocals are as good as it gets. Listen to Mother and then dig out Judas Priest's 1st two albums (their best 2 in my book)and listen to the vocals on the slower numbers. This is a fantastic disc, and if you shop around, you can find this at a more reasonable price. If you want heavy metal, lucifer's Friend isn't it. They rock hard when they want to, but calling them heavy metal isn't accurate (and even less so in the case of Black Widow). Lucifer's Friend is a melting pot of musical styles and influences that they churn out into their own sound. Their discs only get better with time, as you hear something new with each listen. Truley great music always has something new to offer, no matter how many times you've heard it. I don't think Hobo sounds a bit like Zeppelin. It's kind of popish jazz similar to what LF would do on future records. This album stands by itself, and I hope those who want something a little different find this disc. It's worth the time.

Sophisticated Hard Prog.......2004-12-21

This is a dark, complex album that takes a couple of listens to grow on you. This band had great talent and style. Originally released on the legendary Vertigo label. John Lawton's voice is fantastic and seems to be an unspoken influence on both Bruce Dickenson and King Diamond. This is only one small part of the band's appeal, however. There is some truly sophisticated playing and arranging here that makes each listen a fascinating pleasure.

where the band showed how to blues.......2000-07-07

This CD was the first record of LF I happened to hear. The music represented is classical progressive rock of the 70's with all those keyboards, violins and stuff. The groups to be compared are King Crimson, Uriah Heep, Atomic Rooster. The song HOBO is more than a bit like Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" though the rest of the musical content is highly professional and unique. Such songs as "Where the Grouppies Killed the Blues", "Mother" and "Burnig Ships" can without any doubt be called progressive-rock classics. Marvellous singing of John Lawton (later the member of Uriah Heep), Zappa-styled solos of the guitarist Peter Hesslein, strange bass sounds and crazy rythms of drums made me the fan of the band. So, you may need some time to understand this record but if you do -- you won't regret.
