Free Music Notes for Electric Warrior
Free Music Review: 5 stars in my Beard and I feel real weird...........
Hit: 5 Stars
I feel very privileged to have gotten this album for Christmas from my Mother. She had asked the guy at the record store what to get a young teenage boy. Thanks to that clerk, I listened to this album for almost a full year before it hit big in America. I wore the vinyl out listening to these songs with great hooks and mysterical lyrics. My older brothers friends would make fun of me as I listened to Electric Warrior in my room.Boy, were they wrong!
Today, the songs on this album really hold up. To think that "Get it On" had to be renamed as "Bang a Gong" because it was too racy for the USA is mind-boggling. I think "Mambo Sun" could have been a big hit, and "Jeepster" is a good song."Motivator" is bouncy and "Planet Queen" has a cool cosmic feel to it.I think the US wasn't ready for the kind of lyrics Marc Bolan wrote. They were ahead of their time. Whenever I hear "Bang a Gong" on the the radio, I think of my Mother, and how cool it was to get an unknown album(at the time) that had one of the greatest songs on it(Bang a Gong)that also became one of my favorite albums of all-time! And how cool is that album cover?!
Electric Warrior Poster
T. Rex's best album, Electric Warrior, distills the best elements of Marc Bolan's earlier acoustic period with a dynamic rock rhythm section--drummer Bill Legend and bassist Steve Currie--and lush arrangements by producer Tony Visconti. Featuring the classics "Bang a Gong (Get It On)," "Jeepster," and "Mambo Sun," Warrior ranges from the space-blues of "Lean Woman Blues" to the punk-jazz of "Rip Off," with a sound fleshed out by chamber strings and the falsetto harmonies of ex-Turtles and Mothers of Invention Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman. (Zappa sideman Ian McDonald plays sax as well.) Touches such as the arcing cellos of "Cosmic Dancer" and the sexy rhythms of "Planet Queen" perfectly bring to life Bolan's imaginative world of "diamond star halos" and "shadowless horses." A must for any serious collector of British rock classics. --James RotondiAlternative Rock Music CDs
