5.0 out of 5 stars The older we get, the better Mountain sounds, June 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of Mountain (Audio CD)

Who knew back in the late'60's and early '70s that today's music would be this bad? Mountain was always a rip-roaring rocking band and Leslie has some serious guitar-soul. he plays just right-doesn't over-play like many of his contemporaries. Compared to toady's hard rock this is a masterpiece.

OK - First off, you're better buying all the mountain CDs than going for this; after all, there's more to a band then just their hits!

Failing that (if you just want the stuff from the radio), there's some really good music on here. Of course there's the guitar rock classic, Mississipi Queen (if you know what I mean ;)). Then there's what's arguably their best two cuts, Nantucket Sleighride and Theme for an Imaginary Western, PLUS the live Roll Over Beethoven - great stuff! You won't be dissappointed.

One of the other reviewers asked why the two short pieces - because they're thematically related to other music on the CD so thats why they're included, even tho they're separate tracks.

At any rate, there's some great Rock'n'Roll in power trio and power quartet mode (altho you really can't hear the keyboard player, poor guy ;)), and you shouldn't miss picking this up, it's worth it! That is, if you're just looking for the "hits"...

5.0 out of 5 stars who in the world is Peter Kane (see above)?, July 7, 2000

If anything, Mountain was a more coherent "power trio" than Cream. Yes, Felix could sound a lot like Jack Bruce in both his voice and his lyrics, but no one, contemporary or since, could riff like Leslie, or sacrifice sticks like Corky! Tight, powerful rock n roll.
