It's light years from the airy pop of "Do Wah Diddy Diddy," recorded by the hit-making first group formed by South African Manfred Mann and Mike Hugg in 1963. This is as much jazz as rock. There's hardly any guitar, but a swaggering horn section compensates. Imagine a darker, moodier Traffic with Mann manning the organ instead of Steve Winwood. Hugg's raspy vocals are featured on the first album recorded with the new band. The standout tracks are the album-opening "Travelling Lady" and "Time," but they are hardly the only strong ones.

Quoting marcelrecords' review: '...this album makes for uneasy listening' - guess that is why I like it so much. It is very 'claustrophobic', or really, claustrophilic! I enjoy how they pulled off such a purposefully obtuse album, without being obviously experimental, as in it remains within the confines of 'normal music' but just gets rights up to the very edge of what that means - and I mean right on the very bloody edge. That is what I like about it. That takes extreme precision & accuracy; difficult to do in any art. Plus coming from musicians mostly known for pop works, this is bloody gutsy too - though that reputation is incorrect, see Manfred Mann - Instrumental Asylum, or 'The Abominable Showmann' or 'Bare Hugg' on Manfred Mann - Mann Made, or 'Machines' on the EP Manfred Mann - Machines, they really were a bunch of Jazz cats playing pop music.

Actually now that I think about it, Machines has a very similar quality in that is seems to push right up to the boundary between 'normal' and 'not normal' music. It is not like the Velvet Underground or something, that clearly passes over that boundary, instead these guys purposely get right up to the edge, which is some ways ends up being even more disturbing because one can't figure out what you are listening too.

Manfred Mann, major poppifier of Dylan, lost grip on the dying market for their kind of brew and disbanded in june 1969. A second incarnation of just Mann and Mike Hugg resulted in a flopped single and some advertising music. Small wonder that they claim on the first release of their third incarnation: ''This LP represents in general what we personally have been wanting to do for some years''. Well, what they wanted to do for years turned out to be a pretty claustrophobic affair. Two keyboards at once, the vocals of Mike Hugg, who whispers and groans more than that he sings, and the somewhat cluttered production produce a sombre and at times difficult to penetrate sound. Main disadvantage seems to be the poor integration of rock drums in a setting that suggests jazz more than anything else. Shreds of Dr. John and of Soft Machine keep popping up, but the uncanny atmosphere is pretty unique nonetheless.. Very dense and here and there even strictly non-commercial, this album makes for uneasy listening.

I agree with you that this is a great record. But what the heck man? Why insult somebody for their honest review? Be nice!

This guy needs to stick to listening to his Bay City Rollers rather than review LP's that are clearly way above his head both in style and invention. It is a great record and one of the best on Vertigo...any collector of taste know this...
