Though short-lived, Holy Moses came up with one of the most enduring hard rock one-offs of the the early 70s, packed with strong songs and blazing guitar parts by Ted Spelios, whose playing is said to have stunned the young Bruce Springsteen. Produced by Kim King (Lothar and the Hand People) and Mike Esposito (the Blues Magoos), and recorded at Jimi Hendrix’s legendary Electric Lady studio in New York, the album soon vanished on release in 1971, but its cult reputation has grown steadily ever since.
Come all ye lovers of fuzz guitar and soak up the psych-tinged blues-rock sounds of Moses. Those who worship at the altar of power trios like Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Blue Cheer should have no problem sidling up to Changes, the debut album by this Danish threesome. Originally released in 1971, Changes was recorded in just two days, and the no-frills production approach extends to the arrangements and song structures; this is straight-ahead, damn near primal-sounding music, with not one extra note or instrument added. Simple blues riffs are at the heart of each song, and while a few of the tracks veer toward the lengthy side, there's little variation from that format.
After some years spent roaming the Valley of the Ultrablacks and exploring the Mountain of Forever, (where they narrowly avoided the lethal traps of The Voice of Besbunu), Binker and Moses are back with a new offering.
Bob Moses filmed an hour-long concert film from an abandoned radio tower in Topanga, California. Starting atop the structure as night took over, Bob Moses slowly worked their way down the tower performing multiple sets in a variety of configurations, both as a band and in their original two-piece setup.
The duo of Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance now invite fans to relive the experience with a new live album, Falling Into Focus – Live 2020, featuring the entire set from the concert and a never before heard band version of “Desire” that is exclusive to this live album.
