HARD/PROG - SWEET SLAG - Tracking With Close-Ups - 1971


Obscura pérola inglesa formada no final dos anos 60/começo dos 70 que só lançou um disco. Não há muita informação sobre o grupo na internet.
O disco Tracking With Close Ups, de 1971, traz uma mistura de hard rock com rock progressivo e alguns outras faixas mais "obscuras" com toques de jazz fusion e psicodélico. Destaque para a guitarra, com alguns bons riffs e saxofone que também está sempre presente.
Ótima pérola, altamente recomendado!!!

A very sombre lot, Sweet Slag cook their brand of progressive hard-rock with more spices than many. Almost all tracks (invariably written by Kerensky) are depressed, bitter and subtly menacing. Although it's hard to point out any highlights, the overall atmosphere of despair and waste is so strong that it permeates all rock conventions, turning this album into a document of some of the darker conditions of the human soul. There are also quite a few excellent and very discordant guitar solos to be found here. It may take some time to explore all the hidden and suppressed fear in this music, but it is rewarding to do so.
