It's a rather druggy record, Traffic's debut; in fact, decades later, it's still possible to get a decent contact high off of it. From the stuttering, lyrically ponderous "Heaven Is in Your Mind" to the awe-inspiring psychedelic soul of "Dear Mr. Fantasy," this is Traffic's most reverb-saturated and elliptical release. This 2000 reissue is in mono, but it does finally bring the American and British versions of the record together, so that you get "Paper Sun" and other singles from 1967. Dave Mason-era Traffic was nothing if not eclectic. On Mr. Fantasy, they mix and match the art-prog of Caravan and the goofy psychedelia of Sgt. Pepper's with the mellow groove of Procol Harum, the jazz-blues fusion of Graham Bond with the blues-rock of Cream. All that and sitar, too--not to mention Stevie Winwood's riveting vocals. A sheen of silliness covers at least a third of the album; faux-frumpy songs like "House for Everyone" and "Berkshire Poppies" are not-very-witty vaudeville spoofs that are sung in stuffy British accents. Overall, this is an engaging period piece that makes one give thanks for the Program function on the CD player. --Mike McGonigal

A bridge to cross over...........2007-05-31

Many mid-60's artists, names too countless to mention here, failed to bridge the gap from the R&R/soul based music of that day to the more experimental stylings which followed. Not so with Mr. Winwood, who jumped from Spencer Davis Group to form Traffic with fellow headliner Dave Mason and relative unknowns Jim Capaldi (dr) and Chris Wood (woodwinds). Actually, Dave Mason often slid by the wayside allowing Winwood's influence to prevail. The US cover of this LP was a rather unimaginative photo of the group members, whereas the UK version (used here) gave us more insight as to what the music inside "looked like." This was, perhaps, evidence of the UK's head start on the dreamier elements of psychedelia. Songs like "Hole in My Shoe" and "Berskhire Poppies" utilized heavy phasing and made us hang on white-knuckled for awhile til we got the idea. Yet we also got the beautiful ballad "No Face No Name No Number" which became an oft-covered standard. A cornucopia of styles at work here, and more songs than appeared on the original releases of this LP. For example, the title tune from "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" which fits here quite well. If you are expecting the long jams of latter era Traffic, think again. A seminal work from a transitional age.

Traffic.......2007-03-17

I was going to digitalize my old "Mr Fantasy" LP but looked up to see if was available on CD, which it was. What can I say. If you you're an old guy, or girl, and you like Traffic, then you'll like this CD. Maybe even if you're not old. It's a bit corny in parts, but it's good creative rock and roll.

A Traffic must have.......2006-11-10

What can I say, except get this remaster today. If your a fan of Traffic then you know. If your a young rocker trying to discover why the music from the late 60's and early 70's was just better than now-a-days, buy this and you'll find out why. This is Traffic's 1st or 2nd album...I think 2nd, during the orginial line up and is just a crazy, beautiful blend of psycedellic blues rock and jazz progressions. Very trippy. Get it. Today.

(3.5 stars) Pretty good in some places: dated in others.......2006-11-04

This review is only based on the ten original tracks, though there are some great bonus tracks (Paper Sun; Hole in My Shoe; Smiling Phases) that would've undoubtedly boosted the rating had they been included on the original album instead of a few of the dated psychedelic songs Berkshire Poppies; A House for Everyone; Utterly Simple; Hope I Don't Find Me There; and the album-closing jam Giving to You. Psychedelia wasn't Traffic's thing, they were better off playing jazz/folk/rock songs such as Heaven is In Your Mind; No Face, No Name, No Number; Colored Rain and that unforgettable title track, arguably the best song in the Traffic canon. Plus Dealer is a good song, on the misunderstood side - the title does spell drugs, but it's really about a card dealer. A bit of an offbeat subject, but this was 1968. At its best, it's the kind of English Folke that would later inspire Jethro Tull's best work; at worst, it's psychedelic excess vaguely reminiscent of the Rolling Stones' worst work. Thankfully, they would get their sound straight on the next, self-titled album, the latter of which containing several classics (You Can All Join In; Pearly Queen; Feelin' Alright?; 40,000 Headsmen). It's the better buy, but this isn't bad at all.

Psychedelic masterpiece, but get the US version!!.......2005-05-27

The British version of this CD is called "Mr Fantasy" - it has a superior CD sleeve to the US version, but a lot of it is in badly mixed mono and sounds very flat. The same album is available in the US version under the title "Heaven is In Your Mind" - it is all in stereo, and sequenced much better - makes a BIG difference - and is far superior to the U.K. version. Both versions are great - whichever one you end up with, you're gonna love if you like psychedelic music! Because this album is a psych CLASSIC! I have both versions and I ALWAYS listen to the US version ("Heaven is In Your Mind") because it sounds better and makes more sense the way it is sequenced. I had never even heard of the album until 1 year ago. I investigated this year, and I am SURE GLAD I did!!!

Another classic Traffic album.......2006-12-12

Finally, they issued the REAL original album on cd. This is a great album although it has a darker feel than Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys it is just as good and a perfect followup release. I also find this release to be a little spacier. Rick Grech and Jim Gordon are replaced by Roger Hawkins and David Hood, but the core group of Steve Winwood, Chris Wood, and Jim Capaldi remain. If you don't already have this or if you have the old cd copy, GET THIS NOW.

An underrated yet excellent album from Traffic.......2006-10-20

1973's Shootout at the Fantasy Factory was Traffic's follow-up to 1971's excellent and classic Low Spark of High Heelded Boys. While Shootout is not nearly as well known as a Traffic album, it's still an excellent disc. Only 5 songs on here, but they are all great!

The album opens up with the storming title cut, which has fuzzed out multi-tracked guitars from Steve Winwood over a cookin' groove from the rhythm section of David Hood, Roger Hawkins, Rebop, and Jim Capaldi. The centerpiece of the album has to be the next track, the 14 minute Roll Right Stones, which has some truly excellent chord changes along with great singing from Winwood to go along with his piano and organ playing. Evening Blue is a plaintive ballad driven by acoustic guitar that's very pretty. Chris Wood's Tragic Magic is a jazzy, funky instrumental showcasing his stellar ability on woodwinds. And the closing track, Sometimes I Feel So Uninspired, is a slow burner that is actually pretty uplifting given the rather dour tone of the title.

All in all a fantastic album and if you're a fan of Traffic's "classic" albums (Mr. Fantasty, Traffic, John Barleycorn Must Die, Low Spark) then this is one you should definitely check out.

Another album from the golden age of Traffic's Jazz-Rock excursions.......2006-02-01

Traffic hit a new creative stride after Mason left the band following "Last Exit". Personally I am torn, because I really do like Mason's sound, but in the end I cannot deny that it helped Traffic as a group throw caution to the wind and really venture out from the world of Brit psychedelic pop-rock into rock-jazz fusion, with the addition of Reebop Kwanku-bah on drums for a more African-oriented sound (something Santana was doing too albeit in a Latinized way). One indicator of this transition is track length, which starts to take a jump up from 3-4 minutes to 6-10 minutes with "John Barleycorn Must Die" (the first post-Mason album) and continuing here and on Low Spark, etc. On "Shootout", we find Traffic mixing it up with slow ballads like "Sometimes I Feel So Uninspired", Jazzy instrumentals like "Tragic Magic", and two great tunes which can loosely be qualified as "rock": "Shootout at the Fantasy Factory" and the album's cornerstone, "Roll Right Stones", a 13-1/2 minute ripper where Wood and Winwood bust out their improvisational chops while Winwood shows off his incredible voice. Traffic is pretty much a footnote with most folks these days, which seems a bit strange considering the more prominent solo careers some of the musicians enjoyed afterwards, even with less creative musical material (i.e., Mason, Winwood). Part of that has to do with the more keyboard-brass driven sound of the band rather than the standard guitar-dominated sound of other contemporary rock-outfits: but the guitar as a driving element probably would have hindered their fusion excursions. On a related note: another plus is listening to how quickly Winwood's ability as a guitarist was progressing (the guitar is there, but is not prominent like it was with earlier albums), as it already is a huge step up from his offerings on "Welcome to the Canteen", and offers a glimpse of what is to come with "When the Eagle Flies" and "On the Road" (where he really sounds great). A somewhat overlooked but great classic-rock album.

The Slow Return to Sanity.......2005-10-11

This Follow-up to "Low Spark" is as I consider it material just as good in many respects to the first offering.
This style of Music is both calm and powerful and if you've not heard it before it is well worth your investing the time and money. Enjoy

Shoot out all the people outta there listening.......2005-09-22

I dont know what to say bout this album. Apart from Jazz music I am too much hooked with music of Traffic for quite a long time. A long time back I have heard Low spark and high heeled boys and can't even forget the tune. But this album is something which has really surpussed "Low Spar....". Every Friday evening I chill out in night with Roll Right Stones which has become a mantra to me. The expression of Steve Windwood is something very delicate which once heard can't be erased from mind....

Disappointing.......2004-05-26

The amazing thing about the English music scene circa 1966-68 isn't just that there was so much truly exceptional music being made there, but also that nowhere else in Europe was music of that quality being produced. The Outsiders from Amsterdam were probably the best band on the continent, and they were only a very good garage band, certainly not in the same league as the Beatles, the Kinks or the Who. Which brings us to the Tages...

I bought this cd on the strength of their write-up in allmusic.com, which says the Tages were "one of the best '60s rock acts of any sort from a non-English speaking country" and "could have passed for a genuine British band". Um, sorry, no. Most of the music on this cd isn't exactly bad, but it's not terribly good either. The songs tend to be lackluster Baroque-pop, similar to Paul McCartney's tunes on Revolver or the Zombies' Odessey & Oracle, but without the brilliance of those records. The problem seems to be that, although the arrangements are good, none of the Tages are strong songwriters, and most of the songs were written by members of the group. The best moments on this release are two excellent psychedelic numbers written by songwriters outside the group: "She Is A Man", which sounds just like the Dukes of Stratosphear (non-Swindon accents notwithstanding), and "You're Too Incomprehensible", which is what Os Mutantes would have sounded like if they weren't Brazilian.

There are other obscure cds out there that are similar to this but much better. I recommend tracking down July's only album, Billy Nicholl's Would You Believe?, Blossom Toes' We Are Ever So Clean, and especially Colin Blunstone's One Year.

The beatles just met their match. Iron butterfly has gone to the in a gadda da vida and they are stayin there.
If you like the beatles buy this album its like the beatles realy last album just for the fans but the tages are takin their place cuase they are dead!

Psychedelic period of a good Swedish 60's rock group.......2002-06-21

The Tages formed in Sweden in the early 60's as a skiffle group, but soon changed their sound after hearing the Mersey sound. Though their sound was very Anglo-philic, they never really made it in England (or America, of course), despite support from Ray Davies of the Kinks, and Roger Daltrey of the Who.

This collection includes material from various single releases and two albums dating from 1967-'68, and is for the most part good melodic baroque pop, similar to what groups like the Beatles, Tomorrow, and the Pretty Things were doing at the same time. Though they get pretty weird in "You're too incomprehensible," essentially, this is pop music, and very pleasant pop music at that, with great vocal harmonies. Some songs use traditional rock instrumentation, while others rely heavily on strings, and you hear accordians and flutes here and there. Some songs display a European folk music influence. There are also a couple of '60's style soul numbers, complete with horns, that sound kind of incongruous here. Overall, I'd say this is a must for collector's of 60's psych and baroque pop. The song "I'm going out," a remarkable song with an astonishingly beautiful middle eight section, almost makes it worthwhile all on its own.

Music in the Right Era of Manipulated Sound.......2006-05-11

Roger Reynolds states 'I believe in as wide a range of musical involvements as is feasible given the reality of life.' Hearing his works requires a lot of preparation on the part of the audience: walking into the pieces cold might otherwise cause such mental confusion, trying to make the whole seem worth its parts, that it is easy to become aurally lost. His musical compositions or amalgams often include text and electronic elements (some critics praise him as an innovator in the use of multi-channel spatial explorations). Born in 1934 in Detroit, MI he is an important American composer whose roots seem to be found in the works of Ives, Varese, and Cage

The problem with Reynolds' works, finely composed though they be, is that they often include texts that really must be comfortably well known to the listener in order to hear the music. And he is in need of editing his longer works to remain within the concentration pattern of even the most sophisticated classical music lover. Point of reference is the first CD of this 2 CD set, an entire CD is devoted to 'Odyssey, an opera in the mind, for soloists, ensemble & computer processed sound' in which the complex texts are both sung and spoken in real time as well as with prerecorded excerpts. The work is performed by the always superb InterContemporain Ensemble with soloists Marie Kobayashi and Philip Larson conducted by David Robertson.

At a recent LA Philharmonic concert Esa-Pekka Salonen conducted the World Premiere of 'Illusion', a work commissioned by the orchestra and one meant to explore all of the sound possibilities of this acoustic wonder of a Hall. The piece begins with sounds on speakers in the foyer and steps of the hall and when the audience is seated prerecorded tapes of speakers bounce around the hall giving the text about Agamemnon, Iphigenia and Cassandra and the Greek history of Troy. Then the small ensemble on stage included Agamemnon with three voices (speaker, baritone and cellist!), along with female speaker and clarinet as Iphigenia, and soprano and piccolo as Cassandra! It is an hour-long quasi-opera and mixes acoustical manipulations of spoken word and computer sounds with the whole piece. Complex, mind-boggling, and in desperate need of editing!

The remaining pieces on this recording fit comfortably onto the second CD and are brief and well conceived: 'Summer Island, for oboe & computer generated sound', 'Archipelago, for 32 instruments & computer generated sound', 'Autumn Island for marimba', and 'Fantasy for pianist', each with David Robertson conducting the soloists and the InterContemporain Ensemble.

Stating that Roger Reynolds' music requires work on the part of the audience is in no way a negative statement. Too often we enter a concert or play a recording to be entertained. Reynolds demands we be participants and would that that were the case for all classical music listening, there would be no threat of the extinction of CDs! Food for the soul and the ear is food for the mind. Grady Harp, May 06

the leading edge, too far out ahead for most to see.......2002-01-21

This is invaluable documentation of the electro-acoustic works of Roger Reynolds. The product of time spent at IRCAM, Pierre Boulez' Paris institute, some of the pieces bear a strong resemblance to "Repons," the highest-profile Boulez composition using the state-of-the-art IRCAM technology. This is even less surprising since they were recorded by Boulez' Ensemble Intercontemporain! "Archipelago" was composed in 1982-3, for 32 instruments and 8 tracks of computer generated sound. On hearing a performance, John Cage said to Reynolds "[t]his should keep you busy for the rest of your life," because of its rich complexity. "Summer Island" and "Autumn Island" are spin-offs of "Archipelago," featuring oboe and marimba respectively. "Summer Island" is stunningly beautiful, the easiest piece on the disc to appreciate on first hearing.

"Odyssey, an opera in the mind" (1989-93) is a difficult work, to say the least. I will be listening to it alongside Nono's "Prometeo" for years, I'm sure, plumbing its depths. Featuring text from a poem by Samuel Beckett, Reynolds, believe it or not, uses equations from chaos theory to organize the computer-manupulated vocals, using the lyrical pitch structures of the voices as the basis for sound reorganization. Some pieces, such as Reynolds' string quartets ("Coconino," recorded by the Arditti Quartet), I find engaging and compelling despite my patent failure to completely understand the compositions' structures. With "Odyssey" I am not as compelled, and hence the 4 stars instead of 5. I remain convinced that Roger Reynolds is one of our most under-recognized contemporary composers. I only wish that all those who think Glass or Gorecki is the epitome of the current composer could hear Reynolds' work!
