Tractor "All Ends-Up"
Первый трек из альбома группы Tractor (без названия) 1972 г. Размещён в порядке эксперимента в новом плеере.
"Дуэт из Рочдейла, в который входили Steve Clayton и Jim Milne. В 1972 г. они записали альбом под одноимённым названием.
Отличительная черта альбома - гармоничное сочетание "тяжёлых" треков и аккустических баллад. Музыка Трактора будет интересна и поклонникам психоделии, благодаря звуковым эффектам, флейте и клавишным". (из поста Bizarre Garden)
"Perhaps the original D.I.Y. project, recorded in John Peel’s "Dandelion Studios", which was nothing more than an upstairs bedroom in a London flat of the producer’s parents! Lauded by critics at the time of release, and even today, Tractor will always be a "cult status" group as was its predecessor The Way We Live.
Tractor were just a duo, Jim Milne on guitar / vocals and Steve Clayton on drums and percussion (with occasional flute and piano). With such sparse instrumentation, one would expect a delicate singer songwriter album. Quite the contrary as Tractor create an amazing racket, mainly due to Milne’s massively intense fuzz guitar layered over his overdubbed acoustic guitar strumming and bass lines. Meanwhile Clayton drums up a storm especially with the hand percussion at his disposal. Tumultuous! Not to shortchange the songs - as they’re right out of the English factory of quaint melodies and dreamy vocals.
Contrast and dynamics are what separate Tractor from their contemporaries of the day. A couple of years later, a US band from Cleveland would nearly duplicate the power duo that Tractor pioneered. They too were left for the "cult status" trash heap. That would be Atlantis Philharmonic."
