Day 0088 - Disreali Gears


Cream "Disreali Gears" (1967)





Well it's just good, innit.  Clapton's wailing guitar, Bruce's soaring voice, Baker's crazed rolling drums. They manage to make the more epic songs feel like half hour odysseys (in a good way) despite the fact that they're barely 3 minutes long.

Somehow there seems to be a whole lot of variety, even though there's clearly a uniform 'sound' to the album. The quirky, fun little tune at the end, closes the album on a refreshingly silly and light-hearted note.
