[Heeplist] One Minute single released today

[Igor Shveitser]

 David,
As we know, tastes differ, but there's one thing you can not deny about Blackfoot: they were one of those highly skilled bands who had a face of their own. Ricky Medlocke (and all that line-up in fact) is  quite an outstanding individuality. You can't confuse him with, say, late Van Zant and his band, Blackfoot, with LS or Allman Brothers. Blackfoot were superb technically and had terrific dynamics, even more on stage... And I bet none of the list will ever recognize Ken Ingversen or Roberto Tiranti if they do their thing. In fact, it will be even hard to define what exactly is their thing at all. Of course, Mr.Hensley is a different kettle of fish but that's the trick: to my ears they, along with the modern production (where sound is flat and digital in a bad sence), move him into a lower division.
Cheers, Igor

>> If it was a question for me, I got rid of my English copy (sold it) as soon as I got a Russian licensed version (identical but way cheaper) which was given to me as a gratitude for doing a magazine review. Frankly speaking, this album in my eyes is still not what I particularly like about Ken. :) And technically (not legally, of course) it is not Ken but some modern band featuring him mostly on keyboards and as a songwriter. Some tracks are good overall, considering what year do we have on the calendar now, but I'd better give Look At Yourself 10 spins in a row than once listen  to Trouble in all its entirety. This belongs to the bin with second- or even third-rate Heep and related production to me. I rate Blackfoot"s "Siogo" much higher than this. Must have turned to be very conservative and selective when it comes to Heep recently.
