Title: EXCELLENT AND A HALF
Review: Manfard Mann must have been quick studies, becuase over night, they changed from being one of the best pop units to a progressive rock band, fresh for the newborn progressive labal, Vertigo Records.And did it work. These are song structures, and reletively straight too, but the jazz horns, "out" solos, and the brillance of making the fat fuzz bass the cornerstone here just work wonders.This is early prog that is bluesy, jazzy, and self contained. This take on standard rock is incredibly fresh. If music now had any brains, this would sound brand new, and the only reason it does not is mainstreem rock's onset of mentel retardation and homogonization.Among Black Sabbath, Juciy Lucy and Colluseum, Mannfard Man Chapter Three stood as tall as their peers, when they broke the champaign bottle on the great Vertigo Mothership.
