TIBET

I found myself looking at the reviews of this, Tibets first and only album, after trying to find 'Camel-like' bands. I guess I could be excused for thinking that this album might turn out to be something that could be labelled 'kraut rock' but on aquirering it I found it was nothing of the sort. Singing in good english, these guys really do the business and have produced an album that should be a part of every progheads collection. Always a fan of classic 70's sounding bands, I was delighted to hear the hammond and mellotron sound presented in a laid back style here. The third song on the album, the instrumental White Ships And Icebergs, coming in at over 6 minutes, is a masterpiece. Satisfying changes of pace, those lush keyboards and the spanish guitar interludes makes it a terrific number almost sounding, in places, more like Camel than Camel if that's possible. I'd have to give this album four stars but it really should be four and a half. Do make an effort to get this record if you haven't already. I prefer a nice Analogue sound or digital any day and this gives me that bigtime! Great album.
