Wishbone Ash Album: “Psychic Terrorism”

I have reviewed Wishbone Ash before, since growing with them through the 70's & 80's. I lost count of the times I have seen them in concert. The days when Ted Turner, Martin Turner, and Steve Upton played with the legend Andy Powell. The double guitar leads strung your soul and made your feet dance.

This cd is a far throw from "The King Will Come," or "Rock and Roll Widow," but there are a few good riffs. If you are a WA fan, then this CD is for your collection. If you are not familiar with the band, start with "Argus" or "Wishbone Four," and taste the band at its best! That was foot stomping, soul rising, true Rock and Roll in all its glory.

Since the biggest complaint about Trance Visionary was the lack of those famous Wishbone Ash guitar lines, Mike Bennett and Andy Powell went back into the studio and remade the album. They added those missing guitar pieces and gave it a live feel, thereby coming up with a new version of the album called Psychic Terrorism.

Still, I am a great fan of good old rock and roll, and don't much like the album. I would, however, recommend this album for people who are lovers of techno music and would want to hear what a fusion of techno and rock might sound like. I would consider this album as more of a "club" mix, but there is a lot guitars.
