Pretty Things belong in the conversation.

Pretty Things belong in the conversation.

It almost sounds like the springs on the snare are completely disengaged.

 

[Killing Floor]

Rachmaninoff

Band name alert?

 

[Geogio]

J.S. Bach Toccata & Fugue in Dm

Agreed with Killing Floor re: Pretty Things. “Old Man Going” from S.F. Sorrow (1968) is a heavy duty track.

1970. The first two tracks. The Witcher was their hit.

 

[BassFishingInAmerica]

Like the lyrics say,
“You ask do we play heavy music,
Well, is a thunderhead just another cloud?”

 

[Five or Six]

Sorry no picture. Maybe I missed it but, Deep Purple Machine Head was a great album. Highway Star was one we wore out.

 

[mellowgerman]

Heavy and brutally bass driven (Jefferson Airplane, live in 1968)
