   1970 ORIGINAL 2xLP U.K. PROGRESSIVE COLLECTIBLE

                          WARM DUST

        And It Came To Pass

                   GERMAN - METRONOME - MBLP 2/40 002  

RARE original 1970 lavish 2xLP set in colorful laminkated gatefold cover by a highly sought after underground progressive rock crew called WARM DUST

Among the wave of powerful UK progressive groups that embraced the rock world from 68 until 71 or 72, Warm Dust was a late-comer, but quickly became one of the most interesting and progressive group of the genre. The sextet developed a solid psych-laced progressive brass rock, lead by the twin reed players of Alan Solomon (also Keys) and John Surguy (also guitar) and featuring talented Hammond organist, Paul Carrack.

They released "And It Came To Pass" in 1970 and the double vinyl was a small tour-de-force (all things considered for a debut effort) with long compositions, thought-provoking lyrics and plenty of instrumental interplay, including sax, flute, swirl gughing organ, and guitars all mixing and weaving around nicely.... "And it came to pass" is a genuine curate's egg of an album - and the glaring misspelling of the words "turbulence" and "losing" in the titles of two of the tracks is distinctly amateurish - but it was most definitely "progressive". We, for two, have not heard anything quite like the title track before or since (although the format is not dissimilar to "A Day In The Life" off Beatles ~ Sgt Pepper). To us it speaks volumes. There are a couple of blues-based numbers that are cool, and "Turbulence" and "Achromasia" are wonderful vehicles for some genuine playing by John Surgey and Alan Soloman, working perfectly in harmony, and Dave Pepper and Terry Comer both play in a beautifully understated way throughout. Paul Carrack, of course, needs no further introduction, but, here, he plays organ in a masterly and swirlingly evocative way. Which brings us to Dransfield Walker. Hell's bells, what a powerful voice this man had!! A bit too heavy and strident at times, maybe, but he certainly gets the band's overriding anti-war message across in a distinctly unforgettable way. "Wash my eyes", is the stand out track - coming in at over 14 minutes it gives each band member the chance to show their paces around a compellingly haunting and recurring jazz/rock theme, and it's simply stunning...
