The Floating Opera - The Floating Opera (1971 us, exceptional psych bluesy rock, 2018 korean remaster)



The Floating Opera is into a Blues-Rock sound made unique by guitarist Steve Welkom's persuasive singing in "Vision", he's joined by Gary Munce on bass, and Artie Alinikoff on excellent drums/vocals, while Carol Less provided driving keyboard counterpoint which consistently defined their sound.

The Floating Opera Self-Titled Original 1971 Embryo Records SD-730, has some real moments where the guitar takes off into the stratosphere. They do a nice job with the ballads, and it's cleanly produced. The album is packaged in a nice looking gatefold cover with the lyrics inside, and the group's picture on the front.

  1. Been having problems with both DL options. The Free Test page gets hijacked as soon as you open it and the Free Text DLs are deemed unsafe by my anti virus. Frustrating!
