Title: High Tide - 'Precious Cargo' (Akarma) import CD
Review: High Tide is another one of those underground UK bands from the '70's that I've recently found myself discovering to check them out. 'Precious Cargo' is an unreleased collection of seven cuts that the band,had apparently created during a rehearsal / jam in 1970. The main factor that drew me to this disc is that Simon House provides the violin playing and the vocals. House's vocals are better than one might expect. The rest of this CD's line-up is: Tony Hill - guitar, Peter Pauli - bass and Roger Hadden - drums. The tunes that I enjoyed the most were the nine-minute epic "Exploration" and "Rock Me In Your Wave". Probably best described as ahead-of-it's-time progressive with elements of psychedelia tossed in. Even if you're a new High Tide fan OR just curious looking for new music, 'Precious Cargo' is worthy of a place in your CD stack. Better than their self-titled disc, I think.
