Music reviews of Volcanic Rock
Music Review: Thundering early 70's hard rock!
Rating: 5 Stars
I stumbled across this album through blog sites which reviewed unknown, obscure or forgotten bands of various genres. Buffalo was a band formed in the early 70's in Australia, following the blues and hard rock tradition. Their first lp dipped into a variety of hard rock and blues styles, some of which was very good, but overall lacked cohesiveness. During their tour they went back to the studio and cranked out this masterpiece, which was straight up heavy hard rock. There is not a bad tune in the bunch, from "Sunrise," to what became their signature concert tune, "Shylock," one of the heaviest tunes to come out of the 70s. How to decribe it? Think Steppenwolf vocals with Sabbath's rhythm section, and you come close. From quick, pounding tunes to 9+ minute epics, Volcanic Rock is THE unheard 70's hard rock masterpiece that was criminally overlooked overseas. Now on cd, listeners have a chance to check out one of the great Australian rock bands of the 70s. Bonus cuts include a mono single version of "Sunrise," and a live version of "Shylock" which sounds like an audience recording -- not very good sound quality, but it gives an insight as to their live performance.
Description of Volcanic Rock
One of the great lost classic Australian LP's from the 1970's is Buffalo's 2nd. LP: Volcanic Rock - one of the band's greatest records and essentially the first stoner rock album ever issued in Australia. The importance of Volcanic Rock can never be underestimated. This is the album that established the band's reputation for dispensing uncompromising heavy psych rock of monumental proportions; this is the album that continues to enthral aficionados of the genre the world over. It was this LP that established the classic line-up of: vocalist Dave Tice (who later joined UK R&B band The Count Bishops), guitarist John Baxter, bass player Pete Wells (who later switched to slide guitar in another legendary Aussie band: Rose Tattoo), and drummer Jimmy Economou. Aztec Music will be reissuing all 5 Buffalo titles in late 2005 / early 2006 - Dead Forever, Volcanic Rock, Only Want You For Your Body, Mother's Choice and Average Rock N' Roller. Each release will be a deluxe version: newly remastered from the original master tapes with rare bonus tracks. They will be packaged in a 6-panel digi-pak with 24 page booklets - liner notes by Ian McFarlane, rare photos and recent interviews with key band members. Please note: there have been several unauthorised Buffalo CD's released over the past 10 years - Aztec Music's reissues will be the first ones that are both fully licensed, and done with the full co-operation of the band themselves - look for the AVSCD catalogue number & Aztec Music logo. Buffalo were the first band outside the UK to be signed direct to the prestigious progressive label Vertigo. The bonus tracks on Volcanic Rock are the mono single version of Sunrise (come my way), and a live version of Shylock from 1973.Hard Rock & Metal CDs
