A strong debut effort that, despite some searing guitar work by Vince McCusker and a well-placed howl by Peter Farelly in "Decision," remains a strangely low-key work. This may be due to the contemplative nature of Stephen Houston's keyboard and string parts. The erstwhile title tracks that bookend the album are instrumental throwaways, but several of the intervening numbers are impressive in their range and instrumental prowess. "Olde Tyme Future" is an ultimately hopeful elegy for an Irish homeland that seems unable to escape its own bitter past, alternating stark vocals and organ-driven instrumentals. "Song for Thought" uses the old progressive structure of spiraling fugues easing into slow blues on the verses, and it works wonderfully here. ~ Paul Collins

2009 digitally remastered edition. Originally released in October 1973 on Pye's Dawn label, Future Legends was the debut release by these Northern Irish Progressive Rock masters. A wonderful exercise in Symphonic and Melodic rock, the album was highly acclaimed upon release launching the band on a live career that saw them share the bill with such luminaries as Genesis (with whom they were often compared). Future Legends is now remastered from the original tapes and includes the track 'On a Clear Day' which only featured on the first 100 copies of the album. Nine tracks. Esoteric.

5 stars 70's Rock rules again
Once again the mighty sounds of Guitars harminising coupled with real drummers that actually move (quite fast) and keyboards that compliment the pulse and beat of the somtimes enthralling music that emanates from each track has arrived at my doorstep. To visit once again the magical and fantastic music created by Fruupp was an experience joyfully enjoyed. This album can be listened to hundreds of times without it getting stale. It begins with a delicious track that conjures up the best of the syncing of rock and folk irish music, called Future Legends, then it slowly morphs into the outstanding track on the album Decision which builds to a pounding of bass guitar and explodes into a remarkable electric guitar riff coupled with the sounds of violins this track is remarkable because it reminds me of the great head banging tracks of the early 70's. As day breaks with Dawn is a contemplative tracj that experiments with beats and rhythms and agin uses influences of asian and oriental and irish fusions to round of an excellent track. Graveyard Epistle is a hunting echoy track that again pulses with asian and irish rock fusion. In the old days one had to flip the record over to hear the next track. Lord of the incubus is a good rock anthem type track which I'm sure would have sounded great live. It contatins a great rock n roll riff. Old tyme future is a jazzy fusion track with blues overtones, it references the troubles experienced in Northern Ireland at the time of release. Song for a thought is the next track and it starts like an old irish jig or reel and slows down to a heavy metal blues symphony, with choral compliments. The album finishes with a reprise of the first track Future Legends a pleasant ballad. On the Cd version that I sourced from the good people at CD Universe there is a bonus track which wouldent have fitted on the vinyl LP. On a clear day is a focus influenced track reminiscent of the end of the 60's free love music. Thats about it I hope you enjoy these tracks as much as I do

Chills Kaleidoscope World CD  (1986) (Import) Import; Australia

Future Legends
CD $23.75
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12" KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD, The Chills' 18-track compilation culled from The Chills early and mid-'80s EPs and singles, is highlighted by the song "Pink Frost." The Chills' Martin Phillipps mixes up melodic pop with elements of garage rock and punk, creating songs with a sweet melancholy all their own. Phillipps has always been the focus of the Chills, writing and singing the band's songs. His group has also rivaled Menudo in its sheer number of personnel changes. In a just world, the Chills would have sold just as many records. KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD showcases the shifting line-ups and many moods of the early to mid-'80s Chills. "Rolling Moon" captures a mood of shambling joy, its simple, repeated keyboard riff sounding like a distant caravan crossing New Zealand's big-sky country. "Pink Frost" is undoubtedly ...

Killing Floor CD  (1995) (Import) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak; Germany

Future Legends
CD $25.39
The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues canon with different words. The lone "cover" in the set was written by Willie Dixon titled "Woman You Need Love," the tune Zep ripped for "Whole Lotta Love." Despite the fact that this set was issued before by Repertoire, the Akarma version is definitive in that it features the original cover artwork in a heavy cardboard gatefold sleeve, and killer sound. This is a raw, immediate, overdriven, psychedelic blues record that offers an interesting historical counterpoint to the immediate impact of Page and Plant and Co., but it also offers a great contrast to the recent 1990s versions of American groups ...
Second Chapter

Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD  (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak

Future Legends
CD $19.79  5 stars
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with on The White Album's "Rocky Raccoon." What Second Chapter immediately sets forth is the importance of Kirwan as a pop artist, and how, despite Fleetwood Mac's success after he left, his sounds could still have been beneficial to that supergroup. "Hot Summers Day" is a fine example of that, a beautiful song that could offset Buckingham's gritty ramblings. It would have made a nice counterpoint as Stevie Nicks complemented Christine McVie's tunes with her adventures, bringing an important change of ...

In some circles, Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit, best heard on the songs "Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up in One of Those," both covered by Nick Lowe. Basher's endorsement is a clear indication that Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come as a great surprise that his first band, Legend, was proto-pub, ...

Interest in the blues is at an all time high today when you stop to think about it. Joe William’s blues shouting has put Count Basie back on top and Ray Charles is listened to and admired by musicians and Jon Q. Public alike. The best of the kid’s rock ‘n’ roll music is based on the blues while the current rage in jazz is ‘soul’ or ‘funk’ music. The blues have always been around and they don’t really change much. We can hear that same intensity and power that made Bessie Smith so wonderful when Joe Turner sings today. Jimmy Yancey, Pinetop, Horace ...
