Fav. Tracks: Uriah Heep – Demons and Wizards

Demons and Wizards – Circle of Hands.

This is a vinyl album of ours, which goes way back to the early 1970s.  I remember,at the time, thinking that Uriah Heep were a really heavy rock band, but this album showed me there were much more of a progressive rock band and produced some interesting sounds for the time.  The album has some good riffs on it and several really good track for anyone interested in music from the 70s.

This track starts with a prolonged introduction on the organ, which seems to try to set a mystic air, but this is then broken by the drums and guitar that develop the main beat of the track as a typical rock sound.  What is also good about this track is that it illustrates the voice of David Byron, who has  a very distinctive sound.  The lyrics are typical of the genre, with some confusion, the occasional inspirational phrase, but overall tell something of a story!
