Free Music Notes for Electric Warrior
Free Music Review: good, but not the bands best
Hit: 4 Stars
Many times the most popular album isn't necessarily the best album from said artist. This is a perfect example. T-Rex's "Electric Warrior" has its share of great songs, but in my opinion, they can't stand alongside the Slider album, which is probably the best album he ever did. I was told by many people that Unicorn is actually his best album, but I haven't been able to hear that one yet.
Anyway, songs like "Mambo Sun" and "Jeepster" are quite good, however, they're also mood songs which means I have to be in a certain mood to appreciate them. It's probably because of the way the songs on here tend to pleasantly repeat a lot. Whereas the stuff on the Silder is immediately exciting and diverse enough that I can easily enjoy it no matter HOW I feel. That shouldn't stop you from buying Electric Warrior, because I KNOW I'm in the minority with that opinion.
Oh and my goodness, "Bang a Gong (Get it On)" is NOT the only good song on here folks. Don't let radio stations trick you on that one.
Electric Warrior Poster
Electric Warrior, T. Rex's best album, distills 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 members 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. This remastered reissue is fleshed out with a half-dozen bonus tracks and a band interview. --James RotondiThe Classic Hubcap Diamond Star Halo expanded & remastered 2003 reissue of the 1971 glam-rock masterpiece loaded with 7 rare bonus tracks, 'There Was A Time', 'Raw Ramp', 'Planet Queen' (acoustic version-previously unissued), 'Hot Love', 'Woodland Rock', 'King of the Mountain Cometh' & the T.
