The track ‘’Deamon lover’’ really drives home there psychedelic virtues with guitar riffs Roky Erickson of 13th Floor Elevators would be proud of and mystical organs chiming in the background it is a personal favourite off the album for me! ‘’Scorpio’s dance’’ opens with a short instrumental before transitioning to the track ‘’Alaska country’’, once it kicks in musically I feel as though Jim Morrison is gonna start singing thanks to the piano groove we hear but of course we are in fact greeted by Mariska Veres, as the lead singer of Shocking Blue she delivers powerful vocals that are always on point!Īs ‘’Scorpio’s dance’’ progresses we are introduced to more and more instruments whether that be Banjo or Sitar and it really showcases the bands musical talents.
Shocking Blue released ‘’Scorpio’s dance’’ in 1970, it’s a tantalising album full of rock vibes churned in the pot with lashings of psychedelia, blues, folk and more to create one hell of a mean brew! Post by Otis Hayes - Blue were a Dutch psychedelic rock band formed in 1967 and had a string of hits throughout the 1960’s and early 1970’s and although not the biggest hit from the band they are often remembered today for their song ‘’Love buzz’’ due to it being covered by grunge rockers Nirvana on their debut album ‘’Bleach’’.
