Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You (1970) (@256)
(Review from progarchives.com)
This album is (or should be) considered as a landmark and a masterpiece in the hard rock category. With Palmer gone to Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Graham forming his own band , Crane had to restart this band from scratch and conVinced John (Du)Cann formely of psych bands The Attack and Andromeda and Paul Hammond to take the drum seat (since the organ seat was already taken ). The partnership between Cann and Crane was like cat and dog, but they did manage to pull off some classic early heavy metal for almost two albums. Every track here is a gem in its genre and Seven Streets is my fave although the public will remember mostly their outstanding single Tomorrow Night.
