30032014 - Captain Beyond "Sufficiently Breathless"

Captain Beyond's second album, released in 1973, starts off with the laid back and acoustic title track, and a pleasant breeze of a song it is. On the next two songs the American/British band gradually shift gears, and "Drifting in Space" is sort of rocking, in a Santana-ish kind of way. In general this is pretty mellow stuff, and those among you who insist on hearing prog everywhere will find hints of that as well, albeit a very low key and non-intrusive kind. This is mostly pretty and relaxed, with the track "Distant Sun" stirring it up a bit towards the end. There you find hints of both hard rock, psychedelia and jazz. For a lineup featuring two former Iron Butterfly members and Deep Purple's original vocalist, this is pretty light stuff, but that's not all bad I guess.
