In Hearing Of - Atomic Rooster - LP - Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Released in 1971, 'In Hearing Of' marks a striking evolution for Atomic Rooster, a band at the vanguard of British progressive rock. With Vincent Crane’s commanding keyboards and the addition of vocalist Pete French, the album trades some of the band’s earlier raw aggression for a nuanced, soulful approach, without losing their signature intensity. From the haunting opener 'Breakthrough' to the swirling grooves of 'A Spoonful of Bromide Helps the Pulse Rate Go Down,' this record brims with invention and atmosphere. It’s an album where hard rock meets jazz-inflected arrangements and hints of the psychedelic, all grounded by Crane’s lyrical explorations of mortality and madness. 'In Hearing Of' is more than a collection of songs—it’s a testament to a band refusing to be pigeonholed, pushing rock’s boundaries with wit and depth. For collectors and serious listeners alike, this album is a rewarding listen that captures a fleeting, fertile moment in early ‘70s rock, making it an essential addition to any thoughtfully curated vinyl collection.
