ACHE - DE HOMINE URBANO (1970/2026) [WMA] [FALLEN ANGEL] |
...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...
Nowa, zremasterowana, limitowana, europejska edycja nagranego latem 1969 a wydanego przez Philips w lutym 1970 roku, rewelacyjnego debiutu progresywnej, duńskiej formacji nawiązującej do stylistyki ówczesnych, najbardziej rockowych (z dominującą, elektryczną gitarą i organami Hammonda) dokonań Procol Harum, Rare Bird, The Nice oraz późnych The Beatles. Ta pełna dynamiki, chwytliwej melodyki i autentycznie wyśmienita płyta zawiera jedynie dwie rozbudowane suity (skomponowane do baletu) i trzeba przyznać, że poza Wielką Brytanią tak profesjonalnie tego rodzaju muzyki na przełomie 1969-1970 nie grał wówczas nikt!
To jest jedna z moich najbardziej ulubionych, progresywnych plyt 'ever'! Wydany w 1971 roku album 'Green Man' również był doskonały, ale debiut cenię sobie troszkę bardziej... Dodatkowo do płytki dołączono 2 nagrania z singla z 1970 roku - w tym niewydany nigdy na CD, chyba najcięższy w karierze grupy 'Over The Fields'! Dźwięk jest nieco lepszy niż na wcześniejszych edycjach i po prostu bije na głowę przymulone i pozbawione życia wersje z youtube! Poza tym CD zawiera kilka rzadkich zdjęć zespołu.

Album otrzymał dobre, wręcz entuzjastyczne, recenzje. Dziennikarze byli pełni uznania zarówno dla doskonałego opanowania instrumentów jak i talentów kompozytorskich bardzo jeszcze wtedy młodych (najstarszy a nich - Peter Mellin - w momencie wydania płyty miał lat 23, namłodszy - Finn Olafsson - zaledwie 17) muzyków.
Po 42 latach magazyn muzyczny Gaffa określił muzykę zawartą na płycie jako 'zdumiewającą i pełną wyobraźni" i "rock progresywny najwyższych lotów'.
The first Ache album is a weird one as the music was written for a BALLET if you can believe it. There was rock-opera and now rock ballet. Actually only the first side epic was written for the ballet , borrowing lots from the Classics masters (much like The Nice did) with heavy instrumentation (sometimes a bit exagerated but never in the terms of ELP either). When I speak of The Nice's interpretation of classic music , I want to make clear I speak of Bernstein's America and Gerschwin's Blue Rondo Ala Turc superb (and Nice) arrangements and not at all like the pointless Brandenburger Concerto or Five Bridges Suite.
Outside of that comparison , the guitar is also very present (as it was in the Nice's Thoughts albums) and very full of energy but the album is not flawless. Some riffs can even approach Zeppelin's power.The second track (also approaching 20 min) is less classically orientated but full of the typical (and great) instrumental excesses of that era.
One of the best album to come out of Denmark, at the time. The follow-up is also fine but more restrained and both albums have been released together as Eric pointed out out on that page , this is a master buy.

A week ago, while walking through the CD store, saw an old vinyl copy of "De Homine Urbano" by the Danish band ACHE, the album was in very good condition and very cheap, so more with curiosity than with real conviction got it, at the end. I wasn't expecting real Symphonic rather than a late Psyche/Melodic hybrid.
While listening it, started to wonder how many things had to pass so an old record sold 38 years ago in a Danish store ended in my hands here in Perú, when I saw the signature of a friend inside the cover, it was quite funny, his father gave it to him when he came from a trip, he treasured it, but his cleaning obsessed wife sold all those dirt covered albums in a format "nobody sane" uses any more.
But back to the album, my prejudice was not accurate, the album is a gem, combines in the most delicate possible way echoes from the Psychedelic 60's with strong elements of the recently born Symphonic sub-genre, the massive use of Hammond is simply delightful, I could talk about some FOCUS influenced, but due to the date of release, this is not likely.
"De Homini Urbano" consists of two epics, the first one the self titled ballet (Yes it's true) which starts with a clear Emerson (THE NICE era) influenced performance, it's evident Peter Mellin likes pomp and brightness, the guy exploits all his skills and plays as loud as he can, combining instruments in a perfect way, hitting synths and piano with the same fury, but the star is always the organ, like suspended between the 60's and 70's in some sort of limbo, well covered by Finn Olafsson's distorted guitar.
There's nothing static in the track, everything is in perpetual motion, the radical changes come one after the other without rest, the band seems to have horror of silent spaces, covering every instant with music, when not the piano or guitar, you can clearly listen the bass or drums playing restless, like a sonic wall that hits you from start to end, simply wonderful expression of musicality.
But the closing section is exceptional, totally experimental for a band in the 70's an uncontrolled cacophony with a Baroque background, this guys were years ahead most musicians from the era, something strange for 1970 Prog of Scandinavia.
"Little Things" is a 18 minutes sort of Opera with THE BEATLES classic "Every Little Thing She Does" (also performed by YES) as main ingredient, but as anybody can imagine, they have 18:31 minutes to explore every possible variation and experimentation available on those years.
The vocals are not outstanding even when better than the average band...............From this point we get complexity, experimentation, pomp, excesses, everything that makes Prog so special, but is better to listen it than to read whatever I can say, because it's unique, so this is as far as I will go to avoid spoiling the experience.
Four solid stars for a very ambitious album that deserves more attention.
