High Tide - Sea Shanties (1969)



High Tide is a very interesting band from the late 60's/early 70's UK proto-prog scene. The band was part of the Clearwater Management stable of bands that also included Hawkwind, Skin Alley, and Cochise, and their debut album Sea Shanties was on the Liberty/United Artists label.It is such a wonderful LP, made up of Tony Hill (guitar/vocals/keyboards), Simon House (violin/keyboards), Peter Pavli (bass) and Roger Hadden (drums), these four musicians mustered together some powerful sounds here on their debut, complete with plenty of bone crunching and doomy guitar riffs, wah-wah solos, soaring violin flights, raging organ, pounding drums, and a Jim Morrison-influenced vocal attack.


Tracks:
1. Futilist's Lament (5:20)
2. Death Warmed Up (9:12)
3. Pushed, But Not Forgotten (4:47)
4. Walkin Down Their Outlook (5:00)
5. Missing Out (9:42)
6. Nowhere (5:57)


Enjoy ! ! !
