Tractor - TRACTOR***

All Ends Up/Little Girl In Yellow/The Watcher/Ravenscroft's 13 Bar Boogie/Shubunkin/Hope In Favour/Everytime It Happens/Make The Journey

Self titled second album release from the British progressive duo Tractor. Despite featuring only two musicians they skilfully created a multi instrumental sound dominated by fuzz guitar.

“Tractor's debut LP is a very powerful record. Although the album loses some of its power in the middle with the shorter tracks, the start and the end of this heavy psych/prog rock disc are very strong indeed. It also includes some folk rock material between all the progressive and psychedelic stuff.”

“A very good heavy prog- rock release with outstanding guitar. A little dark atmosphere permeates throughout. Heavy and hard from start to finish with wailing guitar.”

“Tractor were just a duo, with guitar, drums and percussion with occasional flute and piano. With such sparse instrumentation, one would expect a delicate singer songwriter album. Quite the contrary as Tractor create an amazing racket, mainly due to the massively intense fuzz guitar layered over overdubbed acoustic guitar strumming and bass lines. Meanwhile the drummer raises up a storm, especially with the hand percussion at his disposal.”

“The first one here All Ends Up is a phenomenal track. The rest of the album follows the same way with enough heavy fuzz for ten bands, great vocals from the doom laden All Ends Up to the sweet singing of Little Girl In Yellow before the fuzz kicks in. Great playing and a production that can't be beaten.”

“The guitar playing on this is amazing. Heavy and fuzzed out, but mixed with light acoustic work also. It leans more towards heavy acid-rock but half the songs are very acoustic oriented acid-folk numbers. This is highly recommended for everyone who loves great dynamic music.” “This duo produced a kaleidoscopic album full of complex progressive music with distorted guitar, sound effects, powerful drumming and intense vocals.”

“Very hard progressive rock, with truly wailing guitar. It is difficult to imagine any genre fans not being bowled over upon hearing this for the first time.”
