CD Reviews

Bluesy and Spectral
zphage | 12/19/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The late Kevin Coyne is easily on par with Captain Beefheart and Syd Barrett.



This is his early bluesy stuff with a twist. Three albums with extra cuts:

Siren 1969

Strange Locomotion 1971

Case History 1972



He has a keening driving voice. The instrumentation is very spare. Yet there is great atmosphere conveyed. There is an acid soaked sensiblity at play here.



Case History is the masterpiece. There is a floating spectral quality to the songs as Coyne manipulates his voice into different voices.



Fans of Beefheart, Barrett should check this out."
