5.0 out of 5 stars In Hearing Of Atomic Rooster, September 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: In Hearing (Audio CD)

Well, in our whereabouts (and I was born behind the Iron Curtain) In Hearing of Atomic Rooster (which appeared in a timely Polish edition) was really a very big thing. Not in sales, because it was all copied on reels from friends, but as for impact it made on our minds. It is one of few artists of genuine desperation and world angst. It made you really feel the pain and sadness of being in this world. It had a existentialist grip of few other disks of what is called pop, accompanied with genuine blues "devil" (Robert Johnson type) feeling (nothing to do with posh satanism). Every track in this album is diamond. I steel keep dear my old LP. There is surely nothing similar to it in the modern pop music. It is not heavy, it is not rock, it is sheer genius of two young musicians who are no longer with us to try to explain how they did it.

have owned this since 1971...a great cd the vocals of Pete French are the best of any Atomoc Rooster band! The album rocks and rolls with terrific abandon! Get it!the last album with John Cann on guitar and is a classic.The band has never been tighter and I spent hundreds buying every album they made non compare except the first with Carl Palmer on drums and the second.

3.0 out of 5 stars Atomic Rooster - 'In Hearing Of...' (Repertoire) 3 1/2 stars, September 29, 2006

Originally released in later 1971, this was Atomic Rooster's third actual album.'In Hearing...' is a decently written and produced lp and all,but it isn't AS rocking as the band's first two efforts. Looked at the CD's liner notes and I saw that even though guitarist John DuCann, organist Vincent Crane and Paul Hammond (Rooster's true classic line-up) is on this album,they apparently decided to hire an extra player (one time Cactus member) Pete French to handle the vocals. While I'll admit French is acceptable,he's certainly no John DuCann. Best tracks to be found here are "Break The Ice", the rocking "Head In The Sky" (this lp can use more cuts like this one) and the two good sounding instrumentals "A Spoonful Of Bromide Helps The Pulse Rate Go Down" and "The Rock". Plus, a bonus track of "Devil's Answer" is tagged on. What I suggest is,if you happen to recently be discovering this band like myself,look for sites online that may have sound clips of this CD's tunes. Decide from there if you like this title.
