After the 1979 Iranian Revolution, much of his work was banned- but the album Gole Yakh (translated to "Ice Flower") gained a cult following internationally. His work is now recognized as a treasure of global psychedelic and rock music that's truly timeless and a symbol of artistic perseverance ❤️

sometimes i know the words but even when I don't it still sounds poetic. Like a cult cry or like a yodel of some sort- and soon, the fae shall return

Diamond Dust is the closing track of the album. Mesmerizing, dreamy, w a lush arrangement. Delicate and restrained and proves that Jeff Beck has a special way of conveying thoughts and feelings through his instrument. Leaves a lasting impression

#8 Freeway Jam is strong and captivating from the start. Captures the essence of a highspeed drive on the open road in a jazz fusion rock/funk kinda way. Playful, fast, fluid

Next song "Thelonious" composed by Stevie Wonder and obvious about it from the v beginning

His guitar mimics the human voice- Emotive, slow, blues-infused. Beck's use of bends, slides, and sustain is absolute perfection

Next "Cause We've Ended as Lovers" was my introduction to this album. Truly beautiful. Made for yearning and crying which I have taken part of before

literally from beginning to end is musical mastery

"Scatterbrain" is so fire I had to listen to it 3 times

bro those STRINGS are STRANGIN

#4 "Air Blower" is v good and an interesting listen. The lead in to #5 Scatterbrain is *chefs kiss* bluesy and funky all in one

Why this title

basically if The Yardbirds, the Beatles, and America had a baby

The 2nd song "She's a Woman" was composed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Produced by George Martin from the group America...think "Ventura Highway" "A Horse w No Name". V cool collab of cool dudes
