Toy Toy T-rex Album Download

T. Rex is a 1970 album by Marc Bolan's band T. Rex, the first under that name and the fifth since their debut as Tyrannosaurus Rex in 1968. It was released on 18 December by record labels Fly and Reprise. The album continued the shift begun by its predecessor from the band's previous folk style to a minimal rock sound,[1] with an even balance of electric and acoustic material.[2]

Although the album was credited to T. Rex, all the recordings (as well as the cover shot) were done when they still were Tyrannosaurus Rex, with the two-man lineup of singer/songwriter/guitarist Marc Bolan and percussionist Mickey Finn, although producer Tony Visconti played bass and recorder on a couple of tracks. Bolan had considered calling the album The Wizard or The Children of Rarn, before opting for a self-titled album.[2] Bolan wanted to be pictured with his electric guitar to suit the new electric image he was trying to create.[2]

The album continued in the vein of the duo's previous album A Beard of Stars, with an even further emphasis on an electric rock sound and the addition of strings, scored by Visconti, on several tracks.[3] Certain tracks like "The Time of Love is Now", "Suneye" and "Root of Star", were stylistically closer to the folk music of Tyrannosaurus Rex.[2] AllMusic wrote that "The tone of the album is a bit more pastoral" than on the previous album but electric guitars are fully integrated in tracks like "Jewel", "Childe", "Beltane Walk", "Diamond Meadows", "Is It Love", and "Summer Deep", predating the style of the follow-up. Lyrics were inspired in part by Tolkien,[4] including poetry about wizards, Druids, and a "Liquid Poetess in a buckskin dress". Journalist Tom Everett observed that Bolan was "clearly infatuated with mysticism, as well as the pure sounds of the English language", although it would be the final time this subject matter would dominate his work. [5] Elsewhere, "The Visit" details a UFO abduction while "Diamond Meadows" and "Suneye" are more conventional love songs that presage future ballads.

The album contained electric reworkings of two old Tyrannosaurus Rex songs, one of which, "The Wizard", was originally recorded as the A side of Bolan's (solo) first single back in 1965.[2] The second was an electric version of the second Tyrannosaurus Rex single, "One Inch Rock", with an intro of scat-singing by Bolan and Finn, which the duo had been incorporating into live acoustic versions for some months prior to the album sessions. The remaining songs, however, were new material. "The Children Of Rarn" and its reprise, which opened and closed the UK album, were an incursion into symphonic rock which Bolan had wanted to develop into a full concept album although the reprise was replaced on the American version with the debut T. Rex single "Ride a White Swan". The B-side, a cover of "Summertime Blues", plus the intricate guitar instrumental outtake "Deep Summer" were also recorded during the sessions. [2]

The T. Rex discography consists of four "Tyrannosaurus Rex" and ten "T. Rex" studio albums (one of which was a revision of another album, with a different name and tracklisting, for release in different territories; and another which was released posthumously), 11 live albums, 28 compilation albums, 21 box sets, one remix album, 18 extended plays, seven "Tyrannosaurus Rex" singles (of which one posthumously released) and 39 "T. Rex" singles (of which 13 were posthumously released, including several charting reissues).

A track made entirely of percussion? You'll see it there. Questionable surf rock versus almost-chiptunes? What, you thought I'd forget? What about a track where Ben reads Mark Twain backwards over the sound of various airport interiors accompanied by strange synth sounds? Well, okay, that's a weird request, but it just so happens that I have that covered too.

Some tracks are relatively new. Some are quite old. Some were made on entirely different equipment than the others. It's a crazy mix of music I made from 2007-2011. You never know what you're going to get when you listen to this album! I guarantee it'll be fun though.

What's my favorite track? Love Story. It's the closest I've been to making Real Art.

Leave it to the saints at Rhino Records to preserve yet another precious slice of our musical heritage. They've now reissued T.Rex's Electric Warrior, the first and best of a trio of brilliant albums. Its two successors-- The Slider (1972) and Tanx (1973)-- have nearly vanished from music shops, and with a comprehensive best-of collection now available, Electric Warrior seemed destined to follow them into the void. Thankfully, this catastrophe has been averted: Bolan may have been known for his singles, but his albums-- and this one in particular-- deserve to be heard in their entirety.

The most significant aspect of Electric Warrior isn't its arena rock confidence; it's that Bolan allows his grinning mask to slip. With the incomparable aid of producer Tony Visconti, Bolan sketches a vast, empty room, where, after the party's over, he resides alone, wide-eyed and desperate. On ballads like "Cosmic Dancer", "Monolith" and "Girl", he speaks in the same gibberish as elsewhere, but he's clearly haunted-- by what we can't say. But the gaping, searing question mark that comes at the conclusion of the album-- guitar feedback paired with a string section, holding a shivering and very ambivalent cluster of notes-- is just one of many clues that there's more to Electric Warrior than its surface lets on. This is not simply a man who plays party songs because he wants to: This is a man who plays party songs to fend off darkness.

For this reissue, Rhino remastered the original tapes and added seven bonus tracks (six songs and an interview). The updated sound is a modest improvement over the first-generation CD, but no news is good news, recalling those hotly contested Iggy Pop and Velvet Underground remasters. Though the sound could've been polished more, it's most important that the production hasn't been inflated. Electric Warrior wouldn't be the same album with the meaty tone of The Slider, with all its shadows and doubt chased away or ignored.

The bonus tracks range from decent to very good: "Raw Ramp" stands out for the lurid line, "Woman, I love your chests/ Baby, I'm crazy 'bout your breasts," but none of them are as revealing as the interview, during which a thoughtful Bolan reveals that the album was a self-conscious attempt to win the attention of America. And because he had precious little time to accomplish everything he wanted to, there was a sense of urgency, that if he was ever going to take over the States, he had to do it immediately.

I've been a big fan of all of Marc Bolan's work for a quite while now and I'm bummed to see that the old Tyrannosaurus Rex albums from the 60s aren't on spotify. All of the T. Rex albums are on there with recently the 1970 self-titled album being added, but not older than that. Please, I would like to see if something could be done about this.

A bit harsh. This is a masterpiece, the deceptive simplicity of the music and arrangements combined with an unbelievable sonic signature, make it for me, one of the all-time great sounding albums. I think there is a throw away playfulness and grace to the lyrics , that sometimes resonate with a hint of the eternal, and the sublime like , Cosmic Daner.

Tyrannosaurus Rex >>> Folk rock and it has some real quality moments (especially the Steven Took era rather than the later stuff) , but I fail to see the progressive elements in their music. Prophets, seers & Sages, Unicorn and My People Were Content are good albums, but prog???

Unicorn : (69) the last one with Took, this is a very transitional album, containing some harmonium, some medieval influences, bass and organs. Some real inventive tracks such Sea Beast and Iscariot and a narrative Misty coast Of Albany, this album is my fave from the four. Can make you think of Incredible String Band, but way more accessible. Maybe their more progressive album (but not prog) , could qualify for folk prog.

A Beard of Stars: (70) First with Micky Finn and the last under the name. This is clearly Transition between the folk duo and the glam-boogie group. And actually quite interesting and might just be their most progressive. If any of the four albums is prog or prog-related, this is it. Harmonium, electric guitars some very moody tracks, this album would be a four star if it was not for that jam-boogie closing track, which lowers it to 3.5. 17dc91bb1f
