The FALLEN ANGELS It s A Long Way Down .. / ............................................... / ..
USA - ROULETTE RECORDS - SR-42011 stereophonic
MINT played one or two times - original owner
THIS 1968 ORIGINAL LP was always difficult to find for fact the east coast based ROULETTE label did next to nothing in giving the FALLEN ANGELS Long Way Down the national exposure they deserved.
Their 67 first LP should have been better but their label had hands-on in the studio.. Not so with their second 68 LP, when The FALLEN ANGELS were given complete control of their It s A Long Way Down 2nd LP where the groups full colors emerged as a top-flight psychedelic-rock artifact now valued - and rising when talking the original print.
These Fallen Angels were a great psychedelic group who were based in the Baltimore, Maryland-Washington D.C. area and recorded two full length albums for Roulette Records.
It s A Long Way Down sadly suffered the same fate as the group s first LP, sales-wise, despite it s obvious high quality and inventiveness, killer FUZZ-TONE guitar dominates
The opener Poor Old Man is an inspired lead-off track that features a strong west coast influence, both Love The Doors immediately come to mind, it sports a killer bass riff along with loose, John Densmore style percussion and a myriad of psychedelic effects, about midway in, the whole piece breaks down and singer Jack Bryant does this totally off-the-wall jazz type scat vocal that completely derails the song, yet doesn t last long as the group leap back into the opening riff and it s back to the races.
A Horn Playing On My Thin Wall is next and it is a dead ringer for Da Capo era Love both Orange Skies Que Vida , this track becomes better as it rolls along, it ends with a rush of great harmony vocals
Something You Can Hide In is full tilt psychedelia that features every psychedelic trick in the book with fabulous results, this number reminds a great deal of Love s underrated Four Sail album.
Tell You A Story is a brief interlude that features an out of tune acoustic guitar with a nursery rhyme type vocal, and it works like a charm.
Coming next is Silent Garden which displays a British influence along the lines of late period Zombies and the UK-Kaleidoscope.
Look To The Sun is largely a solo acoustic outing by singer Jack Bryant, this one reminds a great deal of the archive releases by Love guitarist Bryan MacLean Ifyoubelievein Candy s Waltz.
The next number One Of The Few Ones Left is a beautiful melodic ballad with strings that brings to mind the Left Banke s second album Left Banke Too.
I Really Love My Mother is a short, novelty type number that blends the style of The Kinks with USA groups The Sopwith Camel Lovin Spoonful.
Look At The Wind is once again in the Love Four Sail bag, this is one of the record s real highlights, everything comes together in beautiful fashion, the guitar work and drumming are fantastic, the keyboards are also exceptional.
Didn t I is a sad, acoustic ballad that recalls a superb west coast group The Common People.
By it s very title one would expect the title track It s A Long Way Down to be a doomy death-trip number in the mold on The Doors, actually it s just the opposite, this song is a light and breezy winner that once again recalls The Left Banke with a touch of The Nazz and Basic Blues Magoos era Blues Magoos.
The Fallen Angels actually save the creepiest number on the album for last I ll Drive You From My Mind ends the album in dark shadows, whispered vocals, and splashes of sitar, psychedelia supreme
It s A Long Way Down is an exceptional album that really doesn t have a bummer track to be found.
Overall - one rare psychedelic album that actually lives up to the hype.
