Room ~ England

Pre-Flight (1970)

Room are yet another band from the 1970 era with female vocals, and a jazzy / bluesy / psych sound that was all the rage at the time (Affinity, Goliath, Catapilla, Frumpy, etc...). And I love everyone one of them. Room are no different, though they added a little mini-orchestra to spruce things up. Great stuff.

Honestly there just isn't that much to add. This time I heard more Sandrose in their sound (and Room were two years prior). Goliath might be the closest overall. Side 1 has more of a blues angle while all of side 2 is hard edged prog. An excellent album throughout, but it does require the listener to take in the time and place aspect. A charter member of my Post Psychedelic, Proto Progressive with Female Vocals list.

Ownership: 1994 Si-Wan (CD). Liner notes in Korean.
