Free Music Review: The Final Release By Colosseum II
Hit: 5 Stars
This group was formed in 1975 by drummer Jon Hiseman after the break up of Tempest in early 1974. They released only three albums before calling it quits in 1978. The group was originally a quintet consisting of band leader Jon Hiseman (drums), Don Airey (keyboards), Gary Moore (guitar), plus singer Mike Starr and bass player Neil Murray who both left the group after the recording of their 1975 debut album "Strange New Flesh". On bass, new member John Mole was recruited, while Starr was not replaced leaving the vocal spot to guitarist Moore.
This line-up proceeded to record the second album "Electric Savage" released in early 1977 while later in the year the band released their last album "War Dance".
It's an awesome album to say the least. Highlights include "The Inquisition" where Airey and Moore show great interaction throughout and in the middle Moore pulls out the acoustic guitar playing some flamenco inspired runs!
"Last Exit" closes the album with a scorching solo by guitarist Moore. Also of note is the sci-fi multi-part epic "Star Maiden/Mysterioso/Quasar" where you'll hear a cool bass solo from Mole in the first part which he also wrote. Definitely one of the best songs on the album! Then there's the lone vocal song featuring great singing from Gary Moore in the pleasant R&B sounding ballad "Castles". Track number two "Major Keys" (Moore/Mole) is a good funky workout that could have been an outtake from Jeff Beck's "Blow By Blow" album!
The weakest spot I would say it's the song "Fighting Talk". A cool riff and melodies are featured in the beginning but the jam in the middle seems to drag a little. However, even this song is well worth hearing!
This album is a great listening experience! So if you like jazz-fusion, you ought to add this masterpiece to your collection as soon as possible!
Thanks for taking the time to read!
