A very nice and cheap way to get two Ache albums for the price of one.

Ache was a very good band who operated somewhere between ELP, jazz/rock and space rock. Both these albums is very good.

De Homine Urbano = Two tracks, thirty seven minutes. The rosy smell of symphonic prog. To be more precise, the type of symphonic prog touched by Keith Emerson. ELP ? No. This is far more The Nice than ELP. But it is not quite The Nice either.

Green Man = References to the likes of Deep Purple, Beggars Opera, The Nice and The Beatles. Unfortunate, Ache have included a pretty substandard version of their song We Can Work It Out. The rest of the album is filled with Hammond organs and distorted solo guitars. But mostly Hammond organs and the guitars is just used to add textures. The drums and the bass is excellent too. The vocals is good. The music is pretty hard at times. But it also slows down and becomes Beatles like on several occasions.

In short; this is a two for one album worth checking out if you can find it.

3 stars
