AXIOM "axiom archive 1969-1971" 1988

short lived
Aussie rock band from 69-71...
Glenn Shorrock(later of Little River Band) was principle singer of this band, along with a couple of others who followed him to LRB...
music here is typical of that period, i hear bits of Stephen Stills,latter day Manfred Mann,Steve Marriot's work from the same period and even touches of The Band...
these guys werent simply copy-cats,thats just the sounds that were around then...
this cd is pretty much an "essentials" collection, featuring the band's "a" and "b" sides of singles, plus essential album tracks...
lots of lovely harmonies and melodies happening here, that they honed and perfected in the mid 1970s with LRB...
ive got two tracks here that i want to call 'best track'...firstly, the anti-war(and in particular) anti Vietnam war song "arkansas grass", which they made the lyrics about the US Civil War in order not to get criticised for being anti-Nam, and secondly, the beautiful ballad "a little ray of sunshine"...

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: baby bear
best track: a little ray of sunshine/arkansas grass

BRIAN WILSON "brian wilson" vinyl,1987.

album chart action: #54 US, #38 AU.

singles chart action:
"love and mercy".............#79 AU.
"melt away"....................no chart action.

ex-Beach Boy Brian's debut solo set...
i must have liked this at some point or i wouldnt have bought it, but now....
its a total piece of crap IMO with not one solitary track that i like,let alone vaguely like...
its just an uninspired rehash of BB sounds happening here...
sure the harmonies are good, but nothing else on the album does it for me in anyway whatsoever...
i dont care if i never hear this dissapointing album ever again...infact, just give me my BB best of set and i'll live with the old classics!
eleven tracks on here,eleven dislikes

album rating: 1.0

not putting links up here as im too hot and bothered in this stinking 38C/100F+ temp
