voice of the seven thunders - Voice Of The Seven Thunders
Rick Tomlinson, who conventionally records as Voice Of The Seven Woods, returns under the tweaked moniker Voice Of The Seven Thunders, a move apparently prompted by the discovery of an apocalyptic tome dating back to 1870, filled with various doomy texts and lectures. Correspondingly, the tone and temperament of Tomlinson's material has shifted, moving emphasis from ornate psychedelic folk to more assertive, electrified rock variants often verging on fuzz-strewn bluesy ragas. 'Kommune' strides its way through a chunk of rollicking '70s kosmische with a slew of searing leads - something continued with even greater period flair on 'The Burning Mountain', a monstrously good track whose modal wah-wah workouts immediately draw up links to the kind of psych-rock Finders Keepers compilations tend to dig up. The two longest tracks on show here might be the most interesting of the bunch, with 'Cylinders' offering a beautiful line in synthesizer noodling and tape loop-style effects, before 'Set Fire To The Forest' showcases Tomlinson's guitar playing at its best, even slipping into a spot of muscular, splendidly produced krautrock towards the end. Taken as a whole, this isn't actually too far-removed a departure from form for Tomlinson, with 'Dry Leaves' slipping back into a familiarly articulate acoustic instrumental mode and 'Disappearances' stepping even further into the '70s folk-rock idiom with a combination of twangy fingerpicking and a full, gracefully delivered vocal. Recommended.
