This was released at the end of the anything goes sixties and restraint was not necessarily a virtue in those heady times.
So, get ready for a unique ride through four sides of highly creative adventures, dropping the needle on the first track, Tropic of Capricorn a very complex tune written by Brian Auger as he demonstrates right off the bat one of the main reasons to love this band. The Hammond organ. Brian is a monster and the fire he ignites every time he takes a ride is quite evident on this number. Clive Thacker throws in subtle but effective drum work, as well. Yet nothing can prepare you for the dynamic entrance of vocalist Julie Jools Driscoll as her unique vocal stylizations rise impressively from the eclectic Czechoslovakia, a strange mix of David Lobs Ambroses guitar and Augers organ that defines the term eclectic. Its hard not to be affected by their creative and sometimes unnerving symbolic presentation of the strife and tragedies that country suffered in the summer of '68. Variety is the spice of life and their refreshing take on Take Me to the Water appears like a spiritual oasis after the darkness of the previous cut. This tune starts soulfully, then breaks into an all-out rave by the end with Jools raising the roof. Her brief A Word About Color is next and its just her and a guitar but there's nothing laid-back or meek about her delivery. Ever.
With Trinity's cover of The Doors Light My Fire they decided to make it even more complex and expressive and the result is nothing short of genius. Julies erotic and near-orgasmic delivery takes your breath away as she makes the tune her own and Brians sensuous organ lead is a treat, as well. This track is the highlight of the album and singularly worth the price of admission. Thee obscure Indian Rope Man is a hard-charging rocker that shows their more powerful side. Not only does Jools grab you by the collar with forceful words like "Indian rope man sees the times/splitting loose the edge of minds/catching losers in his line" but Auger's solo will tear your head off! If you haven't come to admire Driscoll's artistry by now, her stunning performance on When I Was a Young Girl has got to be the clincher. It's a haunting vocal and organ piece that slowly builds to an amazingly emotional crescendo and guarantee you'll never forget Julie's gut-wrenching wails that take her voice flying into the highest registers imaginable. The more contemporary sound of The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In) from the then-controversial musical Hair will make you forget The Fifth Dimension's sappy Age of Aquarius for all time to come.
Brian's Ellis Island starts with a typical 60s-styled riff but then gets hotter than Hell as the tight rhythm section of Thacker and Ambrose glide underneath Auger's jet-fueled, screaming organ ride. If you are a fan of the Hammond organ sound then you can't afford to overlook this album. In Search of the Sun, a ditty by Dave Ambrose serves to sustain the momentum. The liner notes inform us that it was his first attempt at songwriting. Brian's funky Finally Found You Out is next and, while it was supposed to have vocals, time restrictions kept that from happening so they left it in as an instrumental. Good thing, too, because Auger's organ lead will curl your hair and, if you stand too close to the speakers, it might set your clothes ablaze; not kidding. The following song, Looking in the Eyes of the World is a timely anti-war message is admirable with Brian's voice and somber piano musings.
The prog-folk leanings of Julie's Vauxhall to Lambeth Bridge is an intriguing adventure into uncharted territory where she and Ambrose weave a courageous free-form pattern using just expressive vocals and beautiful acoustic guitar. The group's cover of Miles Davis All Blues is one of the best versions of that classic. Driscoll hypnotizes with her expert phrasing and Brian shows off his jazz piano skills. It's too cool for words. I Got Life (another song from Hair) follows and it's a fantastic showcase for Jools versatility as she paints the intricate but expressive lyrics all over the aural spectrum. You just gotta hear this lady sing! And there's no better way to end an album than with a composition like Save the Country. This heartfelt plea for peace and harmony is perfect for Jools emotional voice as she soars like an eagle over the bands energetic groove.
With "Streetnose" you have to be ready for the unexpected to truly absorb and appreciate this music. If you're looking for a mix of 'heady' styles that doesn't sound like any other group before or since then feel certain that Streetnoise will be something you enjoy.
