Do You Like It Here Now - MAN***

Do You Like It Here Now was one of a series of albums released in the late 1960s and early 1970s by the prolific Welsh rock band Man. Unfortunately, they never quite managed to make a major impact on the charts.

“All of the songs on this LP are more or less impressive. If you're into guitar driven prog/psych rock this album is worth a listen.”

“Another really good LP by this band. Well played heavy psych prog rock music with a few toe tappers.”

“Clearly, their most consistently good release yet, this one is prog rock, and pretty good at that. Most of these tracks run together, yielding long, trippy suites that feature good guitar, organ, and plenty of psych influences.”

“Original, well written, very listenable extended psych prog with excellent lyrics. Not as good as some of their later work, but that's hardly a criticism. The rushed production adds to the charm. All six songs are remarkably consistent and are of a very high standard.”

“The ensemble playing is blistering in parts and each tune takes unexpected yet delightful twists and turns. The guitar playing is staggering throughout along with some tremendous drumming.”

“This might be the wildest Man record yet. Once again they take elements of classic San Francisco psych bands and add in some twisting prog-rock touches. A unique and enjoyable listen, and certainly one of this band’s best.”
