I would like to thank the reviewer who has made the Sweet smoke reviews.
This under rated band deserves more attention. Their most known album "just apoke" is the "less good" of the three they made (including the live album) Their second album "Darkness to light" is a prog masterpiece, which blend jazz, prog, eastern influences... I would like to evoke their live album (Live 74') which also deserves 5 stars! |

Salut Olivier, Je suis content que tu aie aimé mes chroniques.......I'll keep going in English as to abide by the rulebook. All three albums are great but presently I am looking for the extended live album (it comes with two different cover and the original vinyl had another. Great poke/toke/joke. these guys make music so happy that it is impossible to be in a bad mood after listening to an album. Really positive music

Bited by the curiosity, I soulseeked "From darkness to light"... I can say, it is my cup of tea, or better said my bock of beer. Thank you all for the hint! ------------- Please forgive me for my crappy english! |

Hi, I lived in England for a year a while ago, and once I was having a
pint with my friends when someone put "just a poke" in the cd
player, since then I've been looking for that record or some Sweet
Smoke material, but I've been unlucky, unfortunatelly, getting good
music in my country is almost imposible since the majority like crappy
salsa and tropical s**t. I hope I can listen to one of their songs again, it would be a lifetime experience |

--->Sean Did you eventually get the Live with bonus?
It's excellent. --->Blackmore that's sad for you... Why not buy it through the net on Amazon.com? |

Yes I did and I modified my review because of it ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
