1969 Hard Heavy UK Underground PSYCH
Head Machine
Orgasm
\ UK - Taboo Records
Hard to find long ago 2ndpress exact of the late 60's hard & heavy psych sounds of HEAD MACHINE, pre-Uriah Heep's organ/guitarist (Ken Hensley) & drummer Lee Kerslake who were main cogs in The Gods and TOE FAT ... the album has come to be a rare highly sought collectible with a powerful sound, more so than Uriah Heep, and more like the heavy parts of TOE FAT.
During his time with Gods and Toe Fat, Ken Hensley recorded this album for a specific project called Head Machine. At this time, Hensley played mainly guitar again, as in the beginning of his career. The producer of the album "Orgasm" was David Paramor, who also produced The Gods' albums.
The music is pwerful hard psych, and the style is something between The Gods and Toe Fat. Hensley describes this project as a "mercenary" one, which means that they were involved only for the money, professionally speaking. He states that it wasn't really his band, and there are some doubts about the songwriting credits, since on the album it's written that Paramor composed all the songs, but there's definitely a "Ken Hensley touch" on them. It is one of the heaviest records that Hensley has ever been involved. Musically it veers towards heavy rock with most tracks being pretty 'hard' with driving guitar work. The title cut and 'Climax' are the pick of the bunch, whilst 'Make The Feeling Last' and 'The Girl Who Loved', are softer and subtler numbers. Lyrically (if it isn't obvious from the titles) the album basically deals with sex...
Overall, a good example of the heavier rock genre which was quite prevalent in the late sixties / early seventies. Two tracks, 'I Can't Believe' and 'You Tried to Take it All' were later re-recorded for Toe Fat's debut album released a year after HEAD MACHINE'S ORGASM.
