I was on the way home from work one sunny morning recently listening to this wonderful track when, as we were 6mins 57secs in i felt the hyper drive engines come on line and i was no longer on my way home but to Alpha Centauri. Turned out only to be a 20min round trip but when i got back 8 years had elapsed here on earth! I mean what happened there? I had stuff to do!!
I found this band by happy accident. I picked up their self-titled 1st Lp and its amazing from beginning to end. Instantly accesseble to the ears. Of course you can find the earlier stuff right here on youtube. Check out the opening track MotorHead. You'll be hooked from there. Then go exploring!
@holygroove Haha yeah. Motorhead. First song I heard of 'em on some kind of TV commercial in Germany. I was stunned by the sound and wondered why they went on rather unrecognised for the time after I heard it. For me the best modern rock band by far. I'm glad I found them. Or rather they found me in this case. ;-)
I found amplifier on Bandcamp dot com, but didnt give them enough of a listen. But since they are also on the Classic Rock Prog magazine CD and that is getting lots of listens on my player, I've got addicted to this track...now other tracks are growing too...time to get the CD :-))
THIS BAND NEEDS MUCH MORE EXPOSURE!! CLASSIC ROCK PRESENTS PROG RELEASED A CD CALLED "Prognosis" and they were included in the SIXTH TRACK with their single "INTERSTELLAR" off of the "THE OCTOPUS" album, and I was simply blown away. Someone needs to sign these guys and give them major exposure, they deserve much more attention than this!!!
Yeah. What an album. And one of favourites off The Octopus. Amp are one of the MOST underrated bands on the planet. Such hugeness... ah, brilliant, brilliant... ^ ^
Sweeet.

Impossible to overstate the magnificence of this band. Equally impossible to pick a favourite song. Where do you start?

Thank you guys!
