Album Review
The threesome of Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and legendary guitarist Eric Clapton forming the band Cream was a monumental effort of jazz, blues, and psychedelic rock during the British rock period of the late 1960s. Cream, with their raw fury of intense sound, was renowned for their rare talent of taking songs of complex arrangements and making them an act of spontaneous beauty during live shows. "Disraeli Gears", their second release, was an essential landmark recording that brought listeners to the direction they were soon to take with "Wheels of Fire". Taking on a circus-spinning arsenal of sounds and effects, Cream's fashionable art is a blend of highly sustained drenched distortion, rampant percussion, and a kaleidoscope of various musical textures and colors, both in melody and rhythm. Each of "Disraeli Gears"' list of 11 tunes is original in format, containing it own unique brands of dashing blues-laden guitar riffs by Clapton, as well as thick bass lines and smashing drum leads. Highlights of the record feature Clapton's awe-inspiring and soul-gripping guitar leads, including hits such as "Sunshine Of Your Love" and "Tales Of Brave Ulysses." The latter is a magical poem laced into a line of mesmerizing chordal changes. "Disraeli Gears" is a definitive staple of early British rock and a sensational addition to the avid classic rock listener. ~ Shawn Haney, All Music Guide
