Originally released on RCA back in 1970 Horse's one and only album offers a great variety of musical influences and -styles. The whole album has some kind of dark undertone and you will find lots of references to the occult when paying attention to the lyrics. As i said, this records covers a wide musical spectrum: It features songs that classify as solid Hardrock as well as other songs that fit in the folk-genre (or ar least have strong folk-influences) some tracks sound like some obscure sort of "occult-beat-music". Of course it's also progressive and psychedelic in some parts and (lucky as we are) we can even hear a walzer on this record!!
Sometimes Horse really reminds me of a heavier and more vile version of Black Widow...definitely worth to hear what these four Brits put together on their debut.
Needless to say, the dark cover-artwork hits the nail on the head......perfect!
Let's hook you up with some tracks:
The Sacrifice (listen to those theatralic vocals...scary scary...much drama on this track :)
To Greet The Sun
And I have loved You
Step Out Of The Line
Consider yourself lucky if you manage to get a good original copy of this record under 100 Euro...fortunately there has been at least one acceptable reissue
I'm surprised they put their future amazon rating on their cover: zero stars out of five. Like beating a dead horse.
