Formed in 1969 from the ashes of the defunct Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Atomic Rooster was formed with Vincent Crane (organ/vocals), Nick Graham (vocals/bass), and Carl Palmer (drums). This line-up recorded the band’s infamous debut in 1970, but lasted barely long enough to record it.

Shortly after the albums release in the UK, Nick Graham, the original vocalist and bassist, left the band and new guitarist and vocalist John Du Cann joined. With a projected release in the US, the band returned to the studio and Du Cann overdubbed vocal and/or guitar parts on three of the album’s tracks. Unfortunately the US release never came to be. The 2004 Castle/Sanctuary re-issue includes the U.S. versions and a couple of excellent numbers from a BBC Radio broadcast.

Though their songwriting and sound come mostly from Crane, the band were heavily influenced by the power trio format of Cream and Hendrix. Atomic Rooster were considered heavy for their time. However, heavy is a relative term and in comparison to what people think of as ‘heavy’ decades later, Atomic Rooster are quite tame. It’s those droning, edgy Hammond organ sounds laid on top of a thumping rhythm section.

The album opens with one of the band’s harder number, „Friday 13th”. However, the album is rather diverse, from the bluesy horn arrangement on the opening of „Broken Wings” to the folk-inspired „Winter” to the progressive „Decline and Fall”, which includes a Carl Palmer drum solo. Parts of „Winter” sound very much like early Jethro Tull, due to the folksy nature of the songs and, of course, the flute. The song is also rather morose with the lyrics ‘what is the point of going on’ repeating.
