Arthur Brown

[skooooo]

I've just gotten interested in listening to AB's albums. Having only known the song, "Fire" before, it's pretty amazing to discover the kind of stuff he was doing on his albums. Any fans out here?

2. never heard of him before, truthfully

checked out the link and sorry, but he does absolutely nothing for me. Not my style.

But hey, thank goodness for differences, right? :D

:hi:

[skooooo]

3. his albums are more kind of progressive jazz..

..this was just kind of weird thing that became a hit in the late 60s

4. I have the LP that includes "Fire."

He is one of the forgotten greats.

[skooooo]

6. What are the rest of the songs like?

I know "I put a spell on you" is on that album. I just downlaoded "Galactic Zoo Dossier" from ITunes. It's about the 2nd album I guess, and is WAYYYYY cool.

8. It's been a long time since I listened to it, but the rest of the album is

just as good as "Fire." Nice organ based bluesy psychdelic pop music.

5. Neat stuff, fun voice, interesting organ-dominated sound

Helmet that is on fire, etc. :thumbsup:

7. I wished I timed my acid right.

Great old tune.

9. Are you shittin' me?

Huge fan. I think I have a copy of "The Crazy World of Arthur Brown" around here somewhere. I've been a fan since the early 70s.
