GOLDEN PICNICS

When I First Listened To This Album, I Didn't Think Much Of It As It's Quite An Obscure Prog Rock Album. But Over The More I've Heard It It Started To Grow On Me A Lot Throughout These Past Months & It's Slowly Become One Of My Favourite Albums Of All Time, In The Top Ten For Sure.

This Album Starts Off Slow With A Song Called Flying Which Is Like A Pink Floydish Kind Of Composition. The Next Song Is Probably The Most Obscure As I've Mentioned Before. Carnival Is Like A Quirky, Funky Rocking Track That Some Listeners Might Find Very Weird But I Love It, Some Great Drumming & Keyboards On This.

Then We Get Continental Laid-Back-Breakers Which Has Some Hints If Country/Bluegrass Feel To It. What I Really Dig About This Is The Chord Progressions & Lead Guitar Work On This Song. A Lot Of Great Fast Paced Guitar Soloing & Some Short Melodic Acoustic Guitar Progressions That Fit Really Well.

Next We Get Kool Sailer & Fools Which Would Be My Second Favourite Song On The Album. The Intro Has A Really Nice Start To It Like A Laid Back Start & Then It Goes Into This Catchy, Funky & Rock Like Verse That Is Great To Nod To. Also The Vocals On Here Are The Best Out Of The Six Songs On The Album.

Bird's & Nessy's Is Pretty Obviously My Favourite Composition On Here. A Nearly Seventeen Minute Long Epic With Some Beautiful Playing From The Musicians Which Is Great From Start To Finish.

The Album Ends With A Tropical Slow Ballad Like Song Called Song For Lady Violeta Which Really Jazzy Improvisation & It Finishes The Album Beautifully.

Overall, This I Recommend. It May Not Be What Prog Rock Listeners Are Expecting With It Having Strange Odd Moments On Here, But It's A Great Album That Has Touches Of Country, Funk, Jazz & Fusion.
