Posted Friday, Ma| Review this album | Report (Review #2528225) All in all, this is an amazing album that would make a great addition to any record collection. Some of my favourite tracks include "California Jam", "Sub Rosa Subway", "Doctor Marvello", and "Calling Occupants The songs have much more progressive sound than The Beatles, with constant key changes and complex rhythms. One thing that does seperate them from Theīeatles though is the fact that this album is far more progressive than anything that The Beatles have ever done,Įspecially "Little Neutrino", an epic that clocks in at almost 8 1/2 minutes, longer than any song by The Beatles.
Just like in anyīeatles album, this album has zero filler, all 8 tracks are pure gems. We now know that those rumours aren't true,īut this album still might as well have been a Beatles album, it not being one doesnt make it any worse. Group famous, mostly because of rumours that they were The Beatles. Keyboards, all of it comes together perfectly to create an amazing piece of art. The beautiful harmonies, the powerful guitar sound, the rich :::: Bio written by Hugues Chantraine, Belgium ::::ģ:47 EST by Klaatu is in my book, an undoubtable classic. The group faded into oblivion and amid complete indifference in the early 80's, after a slightly better Magenta Lane album. Then followed by an even-poorer (and aptly-titled) Endangered Species drove them on the brink of extinction. Sir Army Suite (where they had represented themselves into the artwork), was a rather poor album and the magic was just gone.
By the time their stunning follow-up album Hope (the main reason for the group's inclusion on ProgArchives) was released, it was clear they were not the Beatles, but nevertheless the songwriting, execution and inspiration remained flawless.Īs the Beatles imposture now was endangering the hype to grotesque, Klaatu made their "coming out" around or after the release of their third album as a trio with Terry Draper, John Woloschuck and Dee Long. One could fault their inspiration, since they are definitely Beatles-esque, but they manage this better than any other group ever had or has since this album. Their first album 3:47 EST indeed was superb enough to qualify as a Beatles album, with some very skilful songwriting, excellent production and splendid execution. Klaatu gained international attention by remaining hidden for two albums, the first of which was rumoured (partly by yours truly) to be a hidden Beatles reunion album. Founded in Toronto, Canada in 1973 - Disbanded in 1982 - Brief reunions in 19
