Stark Naked

Brilliant and weird formation from Levittown (Long Island, NY), mixing early progressive with hard rock, heavy psychedelia, jazz, and not scared of experimenting.
This Long Island outfit realized this sole album in 1971. A sextet whose musical skills are great. Very hard guitars and obscured lyrics are reminiscent of Black Sabbath's and Black Widow's, to cite two bands oh the same era. But this band adds one more quality: a textured femmale voices that gives more deep to the melody. There are two or three killers tracks: All of Them Witches, Sins and Iceberg; a mid tempo track: Look Again; and a ballad: Wasted Time to almost complete this hidden treasure from the early seventies.

Stark Naked and Absolutely Live is the first official live album by Alphaville. While the Dreamscapes compilation featured a full CD of live material, its tracks were culled from many different concerts: The tracks on Stark Naked and Absolutely Live were recorded specifically for the purpose of creating the album. The final listed track, Apollo, is followed by a hidden track: an acoustic version of "Dance with Me".
