 THE ARTHUR BROWN BAND The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown review by Trotsky(Martin Vengadesan)
The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown was built on the talents of manic showman Arthur Brown and his even more talented cohort organist Vincent Crane, two of the greatest (and ultimately unfulfilled) talents in the world of progressive heavy rock.
Brown's songwriting is steeped in Gothic horror, with mystical fire-based themes usually playing a strong part in his lyrics.
Brown then sends the album into the stratosphere with Fire, a great pop single with some very nice classical runs from Crane and both brass and woodwind contributions from the orchestra.
