Songs of Love and Paradise Remastered & Expanded Edition
Review by Gary Hill
Here's a history lesson for you. Would you be shocked to learn that Kurt Cobain and his crew were not the first band to release albums under the name "Nirvana?" Well, it's true. This British band we're putting out music in the early 1970s. This is a reissue of their 1972 release with a couple bonus tracks. It's a great album. It has a lot of folk prog and psychedelia in the mix, but that's far from the whole game here. Much of this has horns and strings added to augment the mix. I really like this album. It's compelling and varied.
