GRINGO - Same ( UK - 1971)

A very underrated one !!!

Musically, Gringo work as a compact and tightly integrated unit. They write and arrange all their own material, each of them freely contributing ideas. Their songs are strongly melodic, with powerful, precise backing, and they make extensive use of swelling three part and four part harmonies and striking time changes, all three instrumentalists also sing solo.

Tracklist :
1. Cry The Beloved Country (5:54)
2. I’m Another Man (4:15)
3. More And More (4:41)
4. Our Time Is Our Time (5:03)
5. Gently Step Through The Stream (3:54)
6. Emma And Harry (3:54)
7. Moonstone (4:37)
8. Land Of Who Knows Where (4:05)
9. Patriotic Song (5:11)
Bonus Tracks :
10. I’m Another Man [single version] (3:36)
11. Soft Mud [single B-side] (3:16)
Total Time: 48:26

Line-up/Musicians :
Henry Marsh / guitar, keyboards, vocals
Simon Byrne / drums, vocals
Casey / vocals
John G. Perry / bass, vocals

Not really progressive, but always melodic and full of emotions, I love it.

Thanks so much for this!

However FYI, Rapidshare sucks hard. Mediafire is much better.
