KINGSTON WALL II

Let's see. Kingston wall.....seems to be a stripped down, bare necessities OZRIC TENTACLES but without Ed Wynne's heavy metal influence instead influenced deep in the psychedelic rock in the vein of PINK FLOYD or perhaps HAWKWIND. Walli's guitar covers a wide spectrum from both electric and acoustic and from sparsely there to an impenetrable wall of noise. The lyrics here are poetic and emotional if not a bit hindered a bit by his influency in the English language. The vocals are mostly unobtrusive and rarely distract from the incredible musicianship over which they are placed. It is clear to me that this band although a progressive band was not confined by strict structure and composition but instead relied upon the incredibly skilled improvisations that made the band known for their intense live act. Their songs leave ample room for free-flow instrumentation and experimentation. Quality album.
