Spontaneous Combustion's debut sounds more like an album from 1969/70, and still has clear psychedelic overtones, especially considering the hazy vocal approach, and melodic disposition. The album is a mixture of styles that includes hard rock, pop, progressive, folk, and ballads. The last two long form tracks demonstrates that Spontaneous Combustion are an experimental bunch at heart, and the album becomes more unpredictable, progressive, and interesting. It's clear this guitar trio are very talented, and could really pack many ideas into a small window when they wanted to. A fine debut.
Ownership: LP: 1972 Capitol (USA). Single sleeve. Recent acquisition from JL (2023) before the Austin Record show. I prefer the UK cartoon original, but this is fine too.
This LP replaces the Esoteric CD (2012) that made up the review above.
