[Heeplist] Lucifer Friend

Mon Apr 6 16:17:21 EDT 2015

 Norbert,
Though I generally do agree with your assession of Lucifer's Friend legacy (especially with regards to non-Byron stuff), I see their first LP as a pure hard rock with a little touch of psychedelia (what  progressive is in the songs like Ride The Sky or In The Time Of Job?) while the second LP was progressive indeed and all its successors until 1976 when the became more pop-fusion-oriented.
Cheers, Igor

The 4 new tracks are fantastic and the compilation CD is a great way to introduce anyone new to the band. I might be biassed as I love this band but to me this release is a must and the new tracks way above my expectation.

I know I could check Tapios site by I'm to lazy today and I would rather have some heeplist talk, I was able to hear it, and since I'm not really in the know on this band it sounds like maybe a best of CD and a CD of 4 new tracks, sadly the sound isn't the best on any of it, but the 4 tracks on Dec two seemed better, the rest hand to much reverb and the vocals..
