The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

It does say on the album that Pete Townshend (the old psychoderelict himself) was one of the producers. In addition to Arthur's crazy screaming voice I love Vincent Crane's Hammond B3. I have the first Atomic Rooster album with Vincent Crane (there's a rooster's head right on the cover).

Arthur Brown continued to make great music throughout the 70s. His band Kingdom Come was a shining star in the space rock genre and recorded about 4 albums. The best of these was the spectacular "Journey" (available on the Voiceprint lable). No drummer on this record, but a cheap trend setting Bently drum machine. I hear that he now resides in Austin TX. practicing psychology. Hey Viridian... Monkeys vs. Donkeys!

I like Kingdom Come; didn't realize Arthur Brown was affiliated with them. "In Your Face" is my favorite Kingdom Come album.

Bob, that's a different band of a metal persuasion. Still lovin' your Rev B's.

Arthur moved back to england a few years ago and recently released a cd. He's always released stuff every 3 years or so since 1976, but you have to dig for them. He still plays live on occasion and uses 1 or 2 keyboard players and a drum machine. He made a video guest appearance on a k. shakur album about 2 years ago or so as well. He wore the original helmet from fire and started his famous shreiking at the end of that song too.
His albums of the 80's are kind of hit and miss a little bit & not as strong as his earlier material of the 70's. He gave up his royalties for "fire" to get off the track label and it's still in litigation.
