Ramatam, “In April Come the Dawning Of The Red Suns” (Atlantic, 1973)
From Led Zep’s label, this showcases a similar blend of bloozed out hard rock and faerie-folk elements, as well as one of the best LP titles of all time – a play on the name of virtuoso guitarist April Lawton, a pioneering female axe-hero and seriously avant-garde noise-demolitionist when she’s not creating Segovia-like acoustic soundscapes. A truly fine album, which should be reissued (let LionProduc’s or Light In The Attic know!).
Try A/1b [second banded track] (folky), A/2 (rockin’), A/3 (noisy)
