Procol Harum - Home (1970) (@256) http://i25.tinypic.com/10wl0zr.jpg
(Review from progarchives.com) By the time this fourth album came out, Procol was concentrating mainly their efforts on the US and Continental Europe, (as the UK were mostly ignoring the group) and Matthew Fisher (not a great fan of touring) had simply left the group, although he was still being their producer (until half the sessions). With Fisher gone, one would expect the organ maybe disappearing completely from Procol Harum's music, but such was not the case: Chris Copping, another ex-Paramounts will come in on bass and will also double on the organ, actually making this instrument much more present than on the previous "A Salty Dog". One of the most striking features, outside a relatively harder sound (Trower being ever more confident) are the very depressing lyrics that Keith Reid provided for this album. Most are about death and doom, although it turns out that this was mostly incidental. Another feature is that the album has much more of a focus than its predecessor. "Home" is a very much more even album than its predecessor, and the highlights are also brighter than on "A Salty Dog". A very hard Trower-penned Whiskey Train starts off the album a bit surprisingly, but clearly coming just after are "Dead Man’s Dream" is one of the many highlights of the album, with the equally doomed "About To Die", making the backbone of the first side of the album. Both tracks are among the very best of Procol Harum's career. The second side also holds two major tracks: "The Barnyard Story" (where Copping plays a Harmonium) and the grandiose "Whaling Story" with its almost 8-min length and full dramatic suspense. Along with the side-long suit in the "Shine On Brightly" album, "Whaling Story" is the most ambitious track that Procol Harum wrote and the tracks works wonders live, in studio or in its magnificent orchestral arrangements. Other good tracks are "Nothing That I Didn't Know" and "Piggy Pig Pig" (another Trower track), while "Still There'll be More" is a wink to the previous album’s great track, but it is not living up to its promise. "Home" manages to maintain Procol Harum's archetypical distinction, despite the line-up changes and the irruption of new refreshing airs.
