RARE 1975 KEYS/GUITAR PROG ~ ROCK UNDERGROUND COLLECTIBLE
DILLINGER
\ CANADA - DAFFODIL - 9126 - 10055
Original 1975 first pressing in thick gatefold cover by DILLINGER who made two collected albums = this one is decidedly the best of their two....
Brothers, Jacques and Robert Harrison left the province of Quebec and moved to Toronto and formed Dillinger in 1973, named after the infamous Indiana bank robber, John Dillinger. Torontonians, guitarist Paul Cockburn and drummer Terry Bramhall were recruited and the Harrison's brought their proggy influences from Quebec with Jacques' multi-instrumental talents on the flute, winds, Moog, organ as well as taking on the lead vocals and handling most of the song writing with his brother, Robert on percussions. The band was signed to the small independent Canadian label, Daffodil Records and their self-titled debut was released in 1974. The organ and guitars drive the basis of the music with melodic and harmony vocals shifting between a bluesy hard rock and complex progressive passages provided by the flute, sax and the keys of Jacques Harrison. This really isn't heavy full blown prog per se, Dillinger actually maintain a very unique-yet-accessible sound, an erstwhile combination of prog and rock while remaining very challenging. They have a very classic eclectic progressive sound - the production values are actually quite refined, with the drums in particular having a richness and fullness sometimes lost on more obscure releases. This doesn't sound like a hole-in-the-wall album recorded by an unknown band; on the contrary, the music is very competent and personal, with an evident refinement that makes me very, very surprised that their work isn't more well known. The album opens with a couple of covers: Two Time Love by Spooky Tooth and a very, very funked-up version of The Beatles' Tax Man featuring a great talk-box guitar solo. That being said, the album really gets going on the long "Munchkin Men," the album's centerpiece. This is classic epic progressive rock, with some great keyboard soloing and excellent intermittent guitar. The album's other true standout track is the marvelous "Robot Race," although in truth there isn't a single song on this release that we dislike in the slightest. There's also some lovely atmospheric mellotron on Coming Home, reminding us why collectors love that instrument so much. A great band, possessed of some great experimental chops. Investigate them for their very individual style, which really sounds like nothing else coming out of Canada at the time Jacques Harrison / keyboards,vocals,sax,fluteRobert Harrison / drums,percussions
