FLAT BAROQUE AND BERSERK

A very welcome follow up to Folkjokeopus. Flat Baroque and Beserk is IMO a solid album all round abley backed by The Nice. Tighter arrangements marked the beginning of the 70's decade for Roy Harper that he was being taken more and more seriously. Standout songs are ' Don't You Grieve', the politically sensitive ' I hate the White man' and ' Hell's Angels'. Protest songs were never in short supply from Roy Harper, he sang the the poignant ' South Africa' back in 1973 and was clearly one of the early musical prog pioneers against racism. Three and a half stars.
