My first contact with Wicked Minds WAS With their excellent 2004 album From The Purple Skies (see my other review), an album That reactualised the sound of the great prog hard rock bands of the seventies like Uriah Heep and Deep Purple. Five years
That Before, Wicked Minds Had put out a CD (if I'm Their first not mistaken) called Return To Uranus. Compared to From The Purple Skies , the music on Return To Uranus is more psychedelic and experimental. Also noticable is the absence of keyboards. Because of that, I would say that Return To Uranus is less easily accessible than From The Purple Skies . Still the musicians great talents as composers and performers is very much in evidence on this album. It's quite a trip to listen to some of these tracks and the music surely merits a repeated listening.
The 2006 reedition of Return To Uranus is on LP and limited to 500 copies. This is certainly a collectors product and I will cherish my copy for the years to come. I can't wait to hear Wicked Minds new album that is due pretty soon. Cool stuff indeed.
