Exotic classic London Underground days ...

... The best record the acoustic Tyrannosaurus Rex. For some even the creative zenith of Marc Bolans entire life.
This place can only Unicorn "Electric Warrior" from the (two light-years away) make teenage Star era dispute, no other LP. Rarely have so many accessible Bolan compositions found at once. The recording sound has become more sophisticated. Steve Tooks exotic percussion sounds great art, especially through headphones.
The duo had a higher budget than last year and put a lot of time (1 year!) In the mystical unicorn. Tony Visconti tape experiments provide a wider stereo sound, new acoustic instruments were added (glockenspiel, piano, harmonium, ...).
- The predecessor "My People were fair" and "Prophets" sounded like recorded exclusively for the small underground circles of London. "Unicorn" against it accessible for a larger (some) public; had the ambition to become a classic of short hippie era England.
- But it sounded again as a greeting from a distant elves and fairytale world. I have read that Marc B. to the strange fantasies of his childhood parallel world really believed, another part of his personality on the other hand was an organizational / ambitious well with both feet on the ground. The lyric is Tolkien-influenced and independent. This seemingly unentschlüsselbaren texts add to the charm of the exotic duo, anyone can freely roam association his personal fantasy.
- "Unicorn" has good and not so good shots, not a pen. Even (the voice of Visconti) read aloud children's story "Pilgrims Tale" fits well into the framework.
- My (completely non-binding) personal favorite songs are "She was born to be my Unicorn", "Chariots of Silk" and "Black Cat", the others are similarly well.
- 5 Stars! The many bonuses (for example the rare single "King of the Rumbling Spires") the reasonable price and the quality of the base record.
- At that time we heard such with extremely long hair / oriental clothes and patchouli perfume.
Today even young fans of fantasy films like Harry Potter could do listen here. Even listeners, which later T.Rex did not like so well. This
Sil is difficult to categorize: mystical, full of promise, a cross between Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd acoustic, Donovan and Fairport Convention? Irrational and pleasantly devoid of doctrine, ideology or youthful pessimism.
- 5 Stars: many bonuses, good cover, favorable price and quality of basic LP.
Who good place "Unicorn", order the last "Tyrannosaurus Rex" plate "A Beard of Stars" of 1969, also with a variety of bonuses.
