BEGGAR'S OPERA - Waters of Change (1971)

Beggars Opera - Waters of Change (1971) (@256)
(Review from progarchives.com)

Having introduced themselves with the innovative, classically driven “Act One”, the band invested in a mellotron, which instantly became the dominant instrument in their sound. The band moved away from the intricate symphonic prog of their first album, towards the art rock of the Moody Blues and Barclay James Harvest.

At the heart of the group is an understated but effective dual keyboard attack of mellotronist Virginia Scott, whose sounds paint crucial colours that help the other musicians shine, and organist/pianist Alan Park, who gets the lion's share of the many fine solos that puntuacte this recording at regular intervals.

Line-up :
- Ricky Gardiner / lead guitar, vocals, acoustic guitar
- Martin Griffiths / lead vocal, Cow Bell
- Alan Park / organ, piano
- Gordon Sellar / bass and acoustic guitar, vocals
- Virginia Scott / Mellotron, vocals
- Raymond Wilson / percussion

Track List :
01. Time Machine (6:00)
02. Lament (2:24)

BEGGAR'S OPERA - ACT ONE

Beggar’s Opera - Act One (1970) (@256)

(Review from progarchives.com)

What a mindblowing debut-album this is! The very melodic and harmonic music from this five-piece band is based upon an incredible dynamic and propulsive rhythm-section and splendid, very exciting Hammond organ work, often accompanied by a powerful and fiery electric guitar. The interplay between the musicians is magnificent and the excertions on keyboards and guitar are very compelling, in the spirit of the late Sixties and early Seventies. The vocals are also worth to be mentioned: distinctive with an enthusiastic approach and often a bit cynical undertone but at some moments also warm and plesant. The highlight on this CD is the track “Raymond’s road” featuring awesome guitarsoli (inspired by Hendrix and Page)and exciting work on the Hammond organ in the vein of the best Keith Emerson, including short renditions of known classical pieces from Bach and Grieg. An excellent album that will please every hammond aficionado and fans from the early seventies progrock sound!

Line-up :
- Martin Griffiths / vocals
- Alan Park / organ
- Raymond Wilson / drums
- Ricky Gardiner / lead guitar
- Marshal Erksine / bass guitar

01. Poet and Pesant (7:10)
