Peacepipe – Peacepipe (1970) (@256)
04 May 2010
(Review from allmusic, peterjolly.co.uk)
Peacepipe were a power trio that played Southern California and Arizona in the late 1960s.
If you’re into heavy psych guitar, you’re in for a treat. Uzonyi has a monstrous tone on guitar, similar at times to Jimi Hendrix’s feedback dive-bombing, but the two have very different playing styles. The material ranges from superheavy guitar insanity to more poppy material. Vocals on the other hand can be a bit rough at times.
Opener “Sea Of Nightmares” is a stunning piece of acid rock. “Angel Of Love” and “I Can Never Take Your Dreams Away” are more straight ahead US rock. “A Biker’s Tune” and “Open Your Mind” herald the return of the acid guitar for some great freak-out guitar solos and “The Day The War Has Ended” is stretched to over ten minutes to include some stunning guitar and organ interplay. “Carry On Together” is just a bit too rock’n’roll to really fit with the rest of the album, and although “Love Shines” is mellow compared to the rest of the songs it does not sound as out of place.
Three extra tracks extends the original LP — both sides of their 1968 single, plus the out of place but decidedly pop-py “Keep A Smilin’ Cari”.
