Robin Trower (1974) In This Place

From Robin Trower's progressive hued sophomore album, Bridge of Sighs, this track dominated by a supreme sounding arpeggio sequence that resembles Funkadelic's Maggot Brain down to the fatalistic echo added. Though this is faster with nice mix of wah wah guitar licks and a downbeat vocal by bassist James Dewar and some bluesy ninth chord slides which add a contrasting upbeat bursts to the overall track creating a dark intoxicating composition. The album as whole was a top notch effort with a mix of Sabbath and Dick Wagner's style of gloomy blues with a progressive and soul attitude; check out the title track with it's crystal clear wind chimes and wind effects adding a sonic layer to this beautiful production even if it lays on the 60s styled blues and soul a bit too much for 1974.
