Atomic Soul

Product Description
Russell Allen’s Atomic Soul marks the first solo CD release from the lead singer of Symphony X, a man that many consider to be one of the finest vocalists in all of hard rock. In true "solo CD" fashion, Atomic Soul is a complete departure from Symphony X’s bombastic progressive-power metal style. Instead, Russell Allen strips away all of the excess and offers up just the bare bones. Russell Allen’s Atomic Soul is a gutsy, gritty, whiskey-soaked return to the blues-based soul of hard rock. On this release Russell pays homage to the sound that inspired him in his youth. Reminiscent of bands like Free, Bad Company, Mountain, and Deep Purple, Atomic Soul showcases Russell’s incredible vocal force in its purest form. Russell Allen’s Atomic Soul also features a guest appearance from Russell’s Symphony X bandmate, Michael Romeo. This release will have a direct to appeal the quickly growing Symphony X fanbase.

Scary.......2006-10-16

This is a premier rock vocalist? Are you kidding me? One note, no talent screeching in a very limited register. There are at least 10 rock vocalists in your own town right now that could put this guy to shame. Besides that, his voice is incredibly irritating. Comparing this effort to rock legends is nothing short of blasphemy. Could come is handy in interrogating Al Queda terrorists but would be declared in violation of the Geneva Convention. And rightfully so. Just awful!

a must listen .......2006-02-17

everyone should try this soulful, fun solo album from russell allen, lead singer of symphony x. its bluzie, its rock, its melodic and to simply put, its great music for the ears.

I was disapointed.......2005-10-24

Usually I give a whole CD a true chance, especially if it from a caliber like Russel Allen. Especially since Symphony X is one of my favorite bands to listen to. I listened to 5 songs and took the CD out and won't listen to it anymore. Russel has a unique and well trained voice but he did not show his true potential. He sounded more ordinary than interesting. I didn't feel it at all.
Hope the next one will be better.
Alex

Catchy, Rocking, and Great.......2005-07-29

It's been far too long since an album has caused my ears to perk up the way this one has. The riffs are catchy and the bluesy vocals reveal whole new dimensions to Russell Allen's talent that you probably won't get in Symphony X (with the exception of impromptu interludes at their live shows). Tracks like "Unjustified", "Voodoo Hand", and "We Will Fly" have been stuck in my head for days. This album reminds me of good Led Zeppelin songs, Pink Cream 69, George Thorogood and Black Label Society all in one. I recommend giving it a thorough listening.

Was it worth waiting?.......2005-06-29

I'm a fan of Allen's voice, but I would have really liked to hear less variety of styles. "We will fly" and "Gaia" are my favorite songs. Everything else is kinda "I'm here but I didn't arrive yet". Maybe his next effort will be more directed. Three stars is all I could give.

This record is a must for all those who appeciate perfection!!Lynwood lays it down here. An absolutly brilliant selection of tunes, jump,ballads,swing! He has impeccable taste.Having been a fan since the early 80s, I had amassed everything I could get my hands on by Slim, but when I popped in Soul Feet for the first time, I realized he had taken things to a new level! At your next party, throw this one on and become the talk of the town or when you got a long stretch of windshield time to do,gas up,check the oil, slide in Soul Feet and try to wipe that grin off your face!

Good compilation for fans and newbies alike..........2007-02-16

Vincent Crane maintained a strong and consistent musical vision throughout the life of Atomic Rooster. Heavy Soul brings it all together in a less than exhaustive but substantial collection of their best material. If you're anything beyond a casual fan, chances are you own at least a few Atomic Rooster albums and more likely their entire catalog. A collection like this may seem redundant since it doesn't include any rarities or bonus tracks. Just the same, it's a well rounded perspective that works well on its own and is an excellent primer for the uninitiated.

Atomic Rooster - 'Heavy Soul: The Anthology' (Castle) 2-CD.......2007-02-08

I've seen this item in retail stores before. As I took a look at the thirty tracks featured on this 2-CD title, I noticed that 'Heavy Soul' didn't include the usual songs that most Atomic Rooster compilations do have. No wonder I didn't immediately recognize many of these songs. This 2-CD pressing features four (4) tunes from Rooster's first five (5) lp's, 1970-1973. It was good to hear the heavy hitters, like "Winter", the almost sinister "Friday The 13th", the rocking "Tomorrow Night", "Death Walks Behind You", "Head In The Sky", "Time Take My Life" and "Can't Find A Reason" once again. Heard that some label put out a DVD or two of this under-appreciated UK heavy rock entity.

Terrific introduction.......2002-04-18

This 2 cd set is indeed a great introduction to the dark, brooding soul-rock of Atomic Rooster. But it is not definitive, as there are no tracks to represent the Rooster's final two '80's albums. Still, this is a finger-licking- good feast. Every song just demands your undivided attention and rewards it. Atomic Rooster was not a band that set the world on fire although they cultivated a rabid fan base; that is because their music simply wasn't very commercial. But, eighteen years following the final breakup and thirteen years following the tragic demise of leader Vincent Crane the fans are still there. That should tell you something. This is the best place to start out with the Rooster; then track down a copy of their brilliant final album, "Headline News". Go from there of course, but thats really all you absolutely need.

Not Just Any Ordinary Chicken!.......2002-02-23

Atomic Rooster was the brainchild of former Crazy World of Arthur Brown keyboardist Vincent Crane. This 2 cd anthology summarizes the first 5 albums of the band before they broke up the first time. Vincent Crane was tormented by psychological problems throughout his existence. He had a number of breakdowns and spent time in mental hospitals. He eventually took his own life on St. Valentine's Day 1989. His music however will live on through "Heavy Soul".

The band was formed as a trio in 1969 with Crane on keyboards, Nick Graham on bass/vocals and the great Carl Palmer (later of ELP) on drums. This line up lasted for just the first album before Palmer bolted for Emerson Lake And Palmer. It also foreshadowed the tendency of band personnel to change quite often. The best known edition of the band (which reunited numerous times later) featured John Du Cann on guitar and vocals and Paul Hammond on drums. The music on their first 3 albums was occult based heavy/progressive rock. The band at this point sounded a little like Black Sabbath crossed with Uriah Heep. This period is featured on the first disk and second two tracks of the second disk of this set. This was arguably Crane's finest work. Tracks such as "Death Walks Behind You" and "Friday The 13th" provide a clue about the band's dark stance. Their two best known tracks from this period are "Tomorrow Night" and "The Devil's Answer" which are included herein. Crane takes a rare lead vocal on the eerie "Black Snake". Crane's depressed mental state comes across in tunes like "Banstead" and "Winter". The last song included from this period the instrumental "The Rock" highlights Crane's organ playing while providing a transition to the more funky and soulful direction the band would take on their next two albums. After their third album "In Hearing Of" Vincent Crane fired the entire band and elected to take the music in a different direction. British R&B singer Chris Farlowe was enlisted as vocalist. The best known track from this period is "Stand By" which was released as a single. Other interesting tracks from this time include "Moods" and "Ear In The Snow". After the unsuccessful fifth album "Nice 'n' Greasy" Crane disbanded Atomic Rooster. The moniker would later be revived numerous times by Crane between work with Arthur Brown and a stint with Dexy's Midnight Runners. Crane's style on organ while not as bombastic as Keith Emerson's is both impressive and intriguing.

The biggest complaint I have is that not all 80 minutes of the disks were utilized. In addition a few of my favorite songs such as the great instrumentals "Vug" and "A Spoonful Of Bromide Helps The Pulse Rate Go Down" along with "I Can't Take No More" and the great non lp b side "Play The Game" from the classic period were not included. Also Crane's return to the occult "In Satan's Name" was not included on the second disk from the later period. The booklet contains an informative history of the band and traces Crane's downfall. Those who like heavy keyboard dominated progressive rock will find this set pleasing. If you enjoy this set buy the "Resurrection" boxed set as well. It contains the band's first three albums from the classic period remastered with bonus tracks.
