Label: Garden Of Delights

伝説的音源のリイシュー版!!1974年にドイツ西部に位置する小さな町エメリッヒ・アム・ラインの5人の学生、Egon Abbing(ドラマー)、Joe Staacke(ギター、ボーカル)、Olli Olbers(シンセサイザー)、Ulli Strbel(フルート、ギター)、Wolfgang Boers(ベース、ボーカル)によって結成されたプログレッシブ・ロックバンドLightshine。オリジナル盤は凄まじい価格で取引されている、1976年に自国のレーベルTrefitonに残した唯一音盤[Feeling]のリイシュー版。本作の版元Garden Of Delightsがレーベル再発タイトル群の中でも屈指の最高傑作と豪語する一枚で、1960年代後半を彷彿とさせるスタイルを軸に、キャッチーな[Lory]を除く全ての楽曲は、非常に神秘的且つ不思議な中毒性が有ります。Garden Of Delightsによる良質復刻版。





One of the very best records on Garden of Delights, if not the best one in general. Purely psychedelic music. There are no weak parts on the album at all. Only impressive songs played by talented musicians, recorded professionally, and taken from the master tapes. Everything fits together quite perfectly. Fans of early Pink Floyd will thoroughly enjoy the LP. Its style is reminiscent of the late 1960s. All songs, except for the rather catchy "Lory", are very mysterious and reveal their real beauty only after being listened to for several times. It's a shame that Lightshine from Emmerich have not released any further material. The one at hand is an aural pleasure from the first to the very last tone. The original LP was released on the Trefiton label in 1976. The new edition contains a four-page insert with a detailed band history in German and English, song lyrics, discography, photographs, and much valuable information on the Trefiton label.
