Un producto típico del barroquismo de fines de los 60........2003-12-09

Si no hubiese sido por el famoso Nirvana probablemente nunca hubiera conocido este disco y menos a ese ridículo precio (3 dólares). Al parecer algún fanático de Cobain lo encargó sin saber obviamente de la existencia de este grupo de los 60 y la sorpresa debe haber sido gigantesca, ya que no debe haber 2 cosas más distintas con el mismo nombre.

No voy a entrar en la tediosa discusion de los discos conceptuales, pero este si parece ser uno de los primeros, al menos hay una idea clara que se va desarrollando. Una historia de ciencia ficción donde un niño desea volar y se deprime por no poder hacerlo y luego conoce a una chica y son felices sólo pudo inventarse en 1967, aunque vista hoy pueda parecer a lo menos un poco ridícula. Musicalmente el disco intenta recrear ese ambiente onírico que cuenta la historia, con muchos toques barrocos (cello, cuerno frances, arpa). Hay ciertos parecidos con los primeros Bee Gees o Left Banke, pero el grupo logra desarrollar un estilo propio y los temas varían desde adornadas baladas a moderados temas pop rock, resaltando Lonely Boy y You're Just the One respectivamnete, esta última con un notable bajo. Pese a su cortísima duración (apenas 25 minutos), The Story es un álbum bien elaborado, con tintes sicodélicos pero sobre todo lleno de cuidadosos arreglos y detalles.

Nirvana's first masterpiece.......2002-09-04

This album, originally released in 1967, is Nirvana's first album, and also the first "concept album". Simon Simopath is a loner who agrees to take part in an experimental space project, and ultimately finds the End Of The Universe. Although there's no Milliways Restaurant there, this is still top-quality music, and a highly recommended CD.

Music Hall Psychedelia.......2002-02-07

This band was from the United Kingdom. The recording is very enjoyable- the vocals dominate, however- it's not any kind of a jam music disc. It seems to have its antecedent in the British music hall tradition, with a bit of 1967 mysticism thrown in. Very pleasant and catchy tunes with appealing vocals and some interesting instrumentation.

Average customer rating: Not the Cobain Nirvana, but the 1960s Group.

Customer Reviews:

Not the Cobain Nirvana, but the 1960s Group........2005-10-21

This is the great first album by the 1960s group Nirvana. It is a "concept" album, or, as they call it, a "science fiction pantomime". This reissue offers both the mono and stereo versions, plus some extra b-sides, including the excellent "Feelin' Shattered". When we think of concept albums of the 1960s, we of course think of Sgt. Peppers and Tommy. Those that have dug a little further perhaps also think of the fabulous "The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society" or their follow-up, "Arthur". Of course there is the Rolling Stones "On Their Satanic Majesty's Request". Furthermore, there is the Small Faces "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" and the Pretty Things "S.F. Sorrow". Perhaps the 60s Nirvana would not receive as much notice, like this reissue, if it hadn't been for the Cobain Nirvana, but, regardless of that, there is a certain childish naivete to this record that makes it a classic in its own. (I have described it to people not unlike listening to one of those holiday stop-motion puppet cartoons, like Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, but if it was a science-fiction stop motion cartoon along the lines of Loderunner.) Not that the arrangements or musicianship on the record is amateurish, which it is not, it is the simple themes of the songs that put it in this category. As a result, some have called it pre twee-pop, and I can perhaps see that.
