Description / Review:
————————
1971 strikes again! Proto-metal freaks, rejoice! Connoisseurs of the “early heavy” have reason to be excited about this, the lone album from this raw n’ heavy psychedelic blues rock power trio from Denmark, originally released in ’71, finally available as a legit cd reissue complete with liner notes and vintage photos in the cd booklet.
Recalling Vincebus Eruptum era Blue Cheer (big time!!) and early, bluesy Black Sabbath a bit too, Moses deliver blown-out, fuzz-bombed, acid-laced, hairy hippy proto-metal of Biblical proportions. Full of stoned vocals, loping riffs, and lots of wailing, wasted acid rock guitar soloing (worthy of Blue Cheer’s Leigh Stephens and/or Randy Holden), Changes is highly recommended to anyone whose interest has been piqued by anything we’ve just mentioned or referenced. There’s six songs here, nothing complex, certainly catchy though, what more to say? Each one provides the good vibes of ye olde primitive proto-metal, starting with the thudding blues brutality of title track “Changes” (which has nothing to do with the Black Sabbath piano ballad of the same name, by the way). Later on, “Beginning” gives the drummer some, ready for some DJ to mine for a crude breakbeat. “Skaev” is the only one here sung in Danish, but the lurching, surging riffage requires no translation. We’re glad the final track, 7 minute track “Warning” is in English, though, ’cause we’re getting a kick out of the lyrics, a story of a “straight” falling in with a turned-on crowd, which include lines like: “…and suddenly the girl gives him two feeling good pills, eat them if you can, a little after in a big discussion, forgotten everything about his wife, moving with the others in a big procession, he shouts out, this is life!” Awesome.
So, anyone into early Blue Cheer, Randy Holden’s Population II, and the recently reissued Speed Glue & Shinki from Japan, stuff like that, will dig Moses for sure. Also, having just reviewed a bunch of ’70s garage fuzz monsters from Africa, like Ngozi Family and Witch, we’re hearing a lot of similarities here (minus the African thing, of course, but not the fuzz and groove). We bet if we said this was from Zambia or Nigeria, people would be freaking! Denmark is less “exotic”, but that’s not what’s important when banging your head to these 1971 sounds.
