Omschrijving

Blackfeather were one of the most popular and successful groups of the early '70s, and produced one of the
landmark Aussie progressive rock albums, but a major split early in the group's history disabled what 
should have been a promising career for founder John Robinson. With Blackfeather going through at least 
six major incarnations between 1970 and 1983, with a huge personnel list for each version. The list is a 
veritable 'Who's Who' of the 70s rock scene. However it's the first two lineups - 'Mark I', who made At The 
Mountains Of Madness and 'Mark II' who recorded "Boppin' The Blues" - that are the best known.

At The Mountains Of Madness was released in April 1971 and was a national Top 10 in May. The album has 
perhaps not aged as well as some others from the period; the title track and the ambitious suite The Rat 
sound a little dated now, although there is sterling playing by Robinson throughout. Still, there are plenty of
highlights, including the heavy-riffing Long Legged Lovely (with some of the heaviest bass yet captured on 
an Aussie recording) and the classic Seasons Of Change, one of the most memorable and adventurous 
singles of the period. (Both songs were included on Raven's Golden Miles CD compilation in 1994).
