Road (1972) Spaceship Earth

 There's certainly more than a passing resemblance to The Experience here in Noel Redding's early 70s power trio follow up, the bassist was trying to follow up playing alongside one of the best drummers and the best guitarist in the world three years after that groups' demise and the passing of Jimi Hendrix. It's a very rote effort with very occasional brilliance from the guitarist Les Sampson, while the heavy wah wah funkiness of Man Dressed in Red of their single, self titled LP has some of the liquid cool of Redding's former associates, Spaceship Earth is pure heavy rock madness in a good way; worth the trip if it proved Redding really needed his former bandmates a bit more than they needed him.
 It has that sledgehammer beat combined with wall of sound distortion, mixing heaviness and beauty in a manner not unlike that former trio but sadly not anywhere near as fresh or original with the same sci-fi imagery.
