TOP MINTY ORIGINAL 1972 FIRST PRESS LEGENDARY HEAVY PROG PSYCH UNDERGROUND ROCK FRAME FRAME OF MIND GERMAN - Bacillus - BLPS 19197 GREAT TOP COPY ...final collection piece...
The hard to find, sought after 1972 first pressing in colorful psychedelic laminated gatefold cover ...
FRAME were an obscure HEAVY ROCK prog psych band who burst on the scene in the formidable days of the Krautrock movement...the band incorporates a very British sound with textured melody rich injections while still turning it on with the best of them....
Frame played very British style of early prog a la Cressida, Still Life, Beggar s Opera, Quatermass, Rare Bird, Spring, Aardvark or Frame but with quite heavier arrangements due to more aggressive echo and distortion guitar presence.
Andy Kirnberger / guitars, vocals, piano Cherry Hochdorfer / organ, piano, mellotron, spinet Peter Lotz / bass, vocals, percussion Dieter Becker / vocals, percussion Wolfgang Claus / drums, percussion Killer heavy blues prog rocker from this short-lived German crew on their only album with the legendary Dieter Dirks on production.
Led by guitarist Andy Kirnberger and fleshed-out with Cherry Hochdorfer s organ, Frame were strong players, and deliver a satisfying stoned-out sound that gives Frame of Mind the kickstart it needed to compete in the increasingly flashy and crowded progressive scene back in the early 70s they were among the Bacillus label s early artists such as Dschinn , Haze , etc .
In league with German heavy rockers Odin , the moody ominous title cut is led by Cherry Hochdorfer s deep organ sounds filling up the space well and the band jamming quite nicely.
All I Really Want Explain , the 11-minute centerpiece, links songcraft together, with baroque edges into psychedelic blues and back again with vocal harmonies, is very enjoyable.
Elsewhere, the very cool hard-psych rocker If shows an outfit that was on to something special, with acid keyboard flash on this heavy rock song.
Penny for an Old Guy is straight head riff-rock with a surprise center and Crucial Scene features two slightly bluesy Hammond solos -- very splendid here, mixing hard, elaborate electric guitar soloing with the brutal organ riffs.
All throughout the album, the vocals are great and usual as they don t bear any burden of a German accent.
Overall Frame of Mind is a semi-hidden gem of magnificent heavy prog psych music from the great early 70s era.
