Sweet Smoke - Darkness To Light (1972)

 Review by Sean Trane
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog Folk If you are a Fan of Just a Poke , this one can surprise you but it is definitely in the line previous one. The shorter numbers have not the same feelings as on the previous album , some even have jewish folk flavour to it , but nothing upsetting or weird. However the title track and Kundanili are 12+ min numbers in the same mould as the Poke album and just as exhilarating and certainly make this worth a spin. I have recently seen this one and the previous released on one CD so try to get that one because for mid-price
