Another classic Traffic album.......2006-12-12
Finally, they issued the REAL original album on cd. This is a great album although it has a darker feel than Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys it is just as good and a perfect followup release. I also find this release to be a little spacier. Rick Grech and Jim Gordon are replaced by Roger Hawkins and David Hood, but the core group of Steve Winwood, Chris Wood, and Jim Capaldi remain. If you don't already have this or if you have the old cd copy, GET THIS NOW.
An underrated yet excellent album from Traffic.......2006-10-20
1973's Shootout at the Fantasy Factory was Traffic's follow-up to 1971's excellent and classic Low Spark of High Heelded Boys. While Shootout is not nearly as well known as a Traffic album, it's still an excellent disc. Only 5 songs on here, but they are all great!
The album opens up with the storming title cut, which has fuzzed out multi-tracked guitars from Steve Winwood over a cookin' groove from the rhythm section of David Hood, Roger Hawkins, Rebop, and Jim Capaldi. The centerpiece of the album has to be the next track, the 14 minute Roll Right Stones, which has some truly excellent chord changes along with great singing from Winwood to go along with his piano and organ playing. Evening Blue is a plaintive ballad driven by acoustic guitar that's very pretty. Chris Wood's Tragic Magic is a jazzy, funky instrumental showcasing his stellar ability on woodwinds. And the closing track, Sometimes I Feel So Uninspired, is a slow burner that is actually pretty uplifting given the rather dour tone of the title.
All in all a fantastic album and if you're a fan of Traffic's "classic" albums (Mr. Fantasty, Traffic, John Barleycorn Must Die, Low Spark) then this is one you should definitely check out.
Another album from the golden age of Traffic's Jazz-Rock excursions.......2006-02-01
Traffic hit a new creative stride after Mason left the band following "Last Exit". Personally I am torn, because I really do like Mason's sound, but in the end I cannot deny that it helped Traffic as a group throw caution to the wind and really venture out from the world of Brit psychedelic pop-rock into rock-jazz fusion, with the addition of Reebop Kwanku-bah on drums for a more African-oriented sound (something Santana was doing too albeit in a Latinized way). One indicator of this transition is track length, which starts to take a jump up from 3-4 minutes to 6-10 minutes with "John Barleycorn Must Die" (the first post-Mason album) and continuing here and on Low Spark, etc. On "Shootout", we find Traffic mixing it up with slow ballads like "Sometimes I Feel So Uninspired", Jazzy instrumentals like "Tragic Magic", and two great tunes which can loosely be qualified as "rock": "Shootout at the Fantasy Factory" and the album's cornerstone, "Roll Right Stones", a 13-1/2 minute ripper where Wood and Winwood bust out their improvisational chops while Winwood shows off his incredible voice. Traffic is pretty much a footnote with most folks these days, which seems a bit strange considering the more prominent solo careers some of the musicians enjoyed afterwards, even with less creative musical material (i.e., Mason, Winwood). Part of that has to do with the more keyboard-brass driven sound of the band rather than the standard guitar-dominated sound of other contemporary rock-outfits: but the guitar as a driving element probably would have hindered their fusion excursions. On a related note: another plus is listening to how quickly Winwood's ability as a guitarist was progressing (the guitar is there, but is not prominent like it was with earlier albums), as it already is a huge step up from his offerings on "Welcome to the Canteen", and offers a glimpse of what is to come with "When the Eagle Flies" and "On the Road" (where he really sounds great). A somewhat overlooked but great classic-rock album.
The Slow Return to Sanity.......2005-10-11
This Follow-up to "Low Spark" is as I consider it material just as good in many respects to the first offering.
This style of Music is both calm and powerful and if you've not heard it before it is well worth your investing the time and money. Enjoy
Shoot out all the people outta there listening.......2005-09-22
I dont know what to say bout this album. Apart from Jazz music I am too much hooked with music of Traffic for quite a long time. A long time back I have heard Low spark and high heeled boys and can't even forget the tune. But this album is something which has really surpussed "Low Spar....". Every Friday evening I chill out in night with Roll Right Stones which has become a mantra to me. The expression of Steve Windwood is something very delicate which once heard can't be erased from mind....
