I gave the Paradise Lost version a listen on youtube and yes it's a good version but I still prefer the original. Tony C.

The only album of theirs I've heard was "Made in England". It was just OK.

Vincent Crane is one of my very favorite keyboard players, so naturally I like the band, although I have only heard Death Walks Behind You and a compilation called "The Devil Hits Back." I can't really figure out what the deal with that compilation is, either. It appears to be re-recordings of their older songs, with James Du Cannon vocals, but the liner notes are pretty unclear. I can't understand why they would rerecord such a lrge chunk of their catalogue and release it as a compilation.

I just heard the BEST OF AR Cd today and it really amazed me how good these songs sound after a long break from hearing them. Vug is amazing and Black Snake, the bluesiness of it and that Vincent Crane Hammond - wow! Just a fantastic band.

If you're an Atomic Rooster fan check out the German band Night Sun's Mournin' from 1973. Harder and faster than Death Walks Behind You.

I'd say my favorite albums are "Death Walks Behind You," and "Made In England."
Also, i've been into their song "Lost In Space," from their self titled 1980 album... great song.

Love the band. I need to get more of their albums, but it seems I already have the best of the lot. My favorite would have to be In Hearing Of..., but my favorite individual songs are Tomorrow Night, Nobody Else, Head In The Sky and Introduction/Breathless

Huge fan of Atomic Rooster. Death Walks Behind You is a 70's heavy prog classic. One of my favourite songs is "Black Snake" from In Hearing Of...

Actually I just had my first listen of Death Walks Behind You and I was very impressed. It seemed to be a very strong album and I will definitely listen to it again soon.

OK some love being poured out for Atomic Rooster - thanks everyone. I saw all the 70s albums at a bargain store and bought the lot on CD. Then I was systematically reviewing everything they did but stopped at the 1980 reunion when they recorded the "Atomic Rooster 80" album. Was that any good? I didnt get the album after that either - any good? How does it compare to the first 4 albums that are classic IMHO....? |
I would stop at the first five albums if I was you It simply doesn't have the same magic.... I can't even call them good either....
Howevern do feel free to investigate the Master From The Vault DVD (Belgian TV broadcast) and the BBC archive Live album >>> they're both excellent

Nice n' Greasy and Made in England are pretty solid funk/soul rock albums too. Never quite got into In Hearing Of. |
I don't understand why people call these two albums funk/soul......
Made In England is pure hard prog rock :
Time Take My Life
Stand By Me
Introduction/Breathless
People You Can't Trust
All In Satan's Name
and the two bonus tracks
Goodbye Planet Earth
Satan's Wheel
are rock, nothing to do with soul/funk in spite of Farlowe's excellent soulish vocals.
The following Nice'n Greasy is however not quite as outstanding as MIE. |
Stand By Me, Breathless and People You Can't Trust are very funky/soulish. I really don't seee what's prog in any of those songs

Atomic Rooster 80 and the EPs Play It Again (1981) and End Of The Day (1982) sound like Death Walks Behind You period Rooster with a bit of In Hearing Of thrown in for good measure-the EP End Of The Day even featured Paul Hammond along with du Cann and Crane on some songs
1983's Headline News is a different story-du Cann is absent, and it shows, though the band recruited Dave Gilmore from Pink Floyd as session guitarist, the album sounds watered down, and the least Rooster sounding album they ever did-it sounds like 1983, i am sorry to say-more poppish and almost new wave in places
