Revelation was the debut album from the Welsh progressive group Man. Never in the top flight of the British music scene they enjoyed some limited chart success in the mid 1970s.
“Absolutely stunning debut LP from Man. Great UK progressive psychedelic here to be fully taken in.”
“Revelation, is an excellent example of prog with psych overtones, but because there are a few boogie and rootsy-oriented numbers, it makes the album a little uneven in the long run, Sudden Life and Blind Man come to mind. But what makes the album great is songs like Empty Room, Don't Just Stand There, And In The Beginning and the ever disturbing instrumental Erotica.”
“Revelation wasn’t such a great revelation to me – the album doesn’t sound quite mature and though there are some interesting songs, on the whole this debut failed to impress me much.”
“This first is a mix of psych flavoured prog and blues rock, with a few other interesting excursions as well. Not all of it is great though. Some of the more progressive tracks are truly outstanding, while the more pedestrian blues cuts, by comparison, miss the mark. Overall, the album is quite innovative for it's time.”
“This debut album is the best start they could have had, with saturated organ sounds and amazing psychedelic and trippy guitar licks. The vocals are really unique in many ways. The main vocalist has a haphazard approach when he wants to accent something, it's definitely there but when he doesn't it gets mixed in with some other lyrics and just flows. Also, the harmonies are some of the best I've heard, well crafted and eerie sounding.”
“Pretty great debut album from these Welsh prog rockers. Very unique and catchy with great vocals. Now I want more.”
