Baltik - Baltik - 1973
daydreamer:
Единственный альбом группы открывается мощным коротким хард-роковым инструменталом Leslie Briggs и переходит в романтическую Wildness Meant My Freedom с лирическим вокалом. Keep On The Run мне напоминает Uriah Heep 1976-78 периода и кажется одним из наиболее слабых на альбоме. Следом снова лирика (One More Reason), сменяющаяся энергичной гитарной City Girl в духе Wishbone Ash, и опять романтической очень красивой и печальной Ocean Blue. После проходной Round And Round и драматичной Every Raindrop Means A Tear идет отличная No Registration, Please – инструментал в духе Yes с интересными и неожиданными ходами. Последние два трека не являются чем-то выдающимся. Резюме: две трети альбома – очень хорошо, треть – скучноватый мейнстрим

Об альбоме (Alex Gitlin, October 2000):
The musicians in Baltik were among the most versatile in Sweden at the time. Baltik played energetic jazz-rock dominated by Schaffer's eminent guitar lines and Lindh's flute, sax and fender piano. These two later played in Ablution.
This somewhat gloomy, progressive album, comprising cream of the crop of the era's Nordic session scene, plus one bass virtuoso from England, John Gustafson (Roxy Music, Quatermass, Ian Gillan Band, Hard Stuff) is now one of the ultimate collectors items for most Deep Purple, Atomic Rooster and Roxy Music afficionados. It starts off quite heavy, then the pace is slowed down with a gospel-flavoured ballad a-la early Elton and maybe Joan Armatrading (who lead singer Beverly Glenn certainly sounds like), which sets the mood for the rest of side A. Side B is filled with quirky, interesting but somewhat murky prog rock, which takes a little bit of getting used to - especially if it doesn't grab you from the first listen; give it another chance.
