Atomic Rooster
Atomic Rooster are a British rock band originally formed by members of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, organist Vincent Crane and drummer Carl Palmer. Throughout their history, keyboardist Vincent Crane was the only constant member and wrote the majority of their material. Their history is defined by two periods: the early-mid-1970s and the early 1980s. The band went through radical style changes, but they are best known for the hard, progressive rock sound of their hit singles, " Tomorrow Night" (UK No. 11) and "Devil's Answer" (UK No. 4), both in 1971. In 2016 Atomic Rooster reformed with permission from Crane's widow, with the new line-up featuring two members from the various 1970s incarnations of the band. History Original period (1969–1975) In the summer of 1969, the Crazy World of Arthur Brown split in the middle of a second US tour.

Made In England (Atomic Rooster Album)
''Made in England'' is the fourth album by British rock band Atomic Rooster. Although previously known for generally having a progressive rock style, this album saw the band moving in more of a funk/soul direction, largely influenced by new singer Chris Farlowe. Apart from founder member Vincent Crane, the album was recorded by an entirely different lineup to that of the band's prior effort, '' In Hearing of Atomic Rooster''. Previous members John Du Cann and Paul Hammond had departed in protest at Crane's intended new musical direction. In the UK and Germany, original copies of the LP came wrapped in an actual denim sleeve. Later pressings came in a standard art sleeve. In the US, the record was issued on Elektra in the standard sleeve. It was further reissued in Germany in 1977, this time in yet another new sleeve and retitled ''This is Atomic Rooster''. The only UK single from ''Made in England'' was " Stand by Me". The album reached #60 in Canada. Track listing Sid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
