I really loved the last Wight album
(the Funk record!!) and what a new direction the band had taken. I was not sure if this was going to be along
those lines or back to their stoner rock roots.
This 7” features two versions of the track Atlas, one is a different mix
by Daniel Stenger. The track was recorded live in the studio in Jan 2017. Side
A, this version is a keyboard driven sort of dark ballad with powerful vocals.
No real solos or instrumental breaks. Flip it over for something totally
different. Daniel has stripped the track down to just bass, drums (and
percussion) and vocals (no keyboards until later when there is a cool organ
solo) and made this into a real like 70s soul number. Wow… did not see that coming at all but that was
damn cool. Side A plays on 33rpm while side B is 45rpm.. Just be aware. Made in
250 copies in 4 different colours.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
