Scorching Beauty / Sun & Steel

I bought it for "Sun and Steel" which is a fabulous.... I'll update this later.----------------------------------------------------------------------Ok... Here it is my review on Oct 31:Like another guest said before, do not expect another 17 min song here. This is `another rock album' that deserves recognition. Why? Here it is:1.Sun and Steel : This song is as good an `entrance-song' as Hello Hooray from Alice Cooper, if you kown I mean. It is like a `Welcome to the Sun and a Steel album' you are about to enjoy. It needed a higher climax, but it is ok. Organ, piano and all. Nice riff.2.Lightting: Sorry for the comparision again to my all-time favorute album (Billion Dollar Babies by A.C.), but this one comes perfect, like `Cold n Freexing". Great solos !3.Beyond the Milky Way: Piano? Ok... Lovely ballad. Is this a duet? Don't know, but it is lovely. (Now, gone with BDB comparision )4.Free: The needed rock song, in the right place. An `Edgar-Winter song with a sax solo and a `Rick Wakeman' mini solo for added bonus" (well, not in that order).5.Scion: Heavy (pun achived!) to close side 1. I know, derivative.. but nice (Deep Purple anyone?)6.Get It Out: Opening Side Two: Synthetizers! Nice. And Congas! Well... Vocals rescue it. It reminds me of... It is 1975 !! Another nice song.7.I'm Right, I'm Wrong: The second song of the second side I always look forward. It could be anything (like ` Generation Landslide, or Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting), here it comes : "Sweet Emotion"... errr, sorry.... , this is more like ... Tomita? Vangelis? No! It is an Flying Soucer departure (Close Encounters?). Dramatic vocals , nice original melody. Nice song. And more Wakeman'solo. Nice.8.Watch The World Go By: Please, let this ballad grow on you. Believe me. It is beautiful. It seals this album as worthy. At least, imagine it as the end-song scene in an sci-fy catastrophy movie. Listen to the mellotron and let your soul pick it up.9.Scorching Beauty: Is this related to the previous album (that I have yet to hear?). Don't know, but it brings you `back to Earth'. At least, to 70's Earth. Simple a Blues-Jazz-Rock song. Nice.Thank You.

Two good albums from the '70's.

This double album was songs from after my favorite vocalist left the group but still great songs

The sounds and feel that they make are so lost in time. The electric organ leads the raw and vibrant feel. It is far better then I had imagined.

The CD provided by the vendor was new and in great condition and delivered promptly. Thank you. Sadly, many of the reviews about the 1975 version of a reformed Iron Butterfly are spot-on. The so-called vocals are indescribably awful - as bad as anybody and a far cry from the 1970-71 Ingle/Pinera/Rinehart/Dorman/Bushey version of the Butterfly when they were at their absolute peak. Stick to the amazing 1970 album Metamorphosis produced by Richard Podolor. Still one of the best releases of the 70's (or any decade) along with his work the same year on Steppenwolf 7. Both are killer and timeless.

my friend listened to this cd every weekend when he was home. hated tv, loved music.

The media could not be loaded. Scorching Beauty/Sun & Steel

I am a fan of everything they did.Please don't listen to this expecting In A Gadda Da Vida. This is similar to typical mid 70's rock.Scorching Beauty came first and even in the words of drummer Ron Bushy, the keyboardist sucked. It does weaken even the best of songs (like High On A Mountain Top) Otherwise, Am I Down, Searchin Circles & Pearly Gates are awesome songs.Sun & Steel is the better of the two. EVERY song is great! The ones eric Braunn doesn't sing are better. He was a shaky singer at best. But it adds a certain emotion to the songs so they are good! Sun & Steel, Beyond The Milky Way, Scion, I'm Right I'm Wrong, Watch The World Going By and Scorching Beauty are the best cuts!THIS IS PURE CLASSIC ROCK GOLD!
