One of the bands
that during the past year made the biggest impression on me as well
as many others was Australia's Tarot. Releasing no less than three
EP's on tape (Life and Death, Dying Daze and The Watcher's Dream) of
epic 70's-inspired proto-metal in the vein of old masters like
Rainbow and Uriah Heep, they're simply one of the bands that will
come to mind when looking back at 2014 in the future.
Now these three
EP's have been re-issued on this CD compilation, which I think was a
brilliant idea. They flow together very well, I almost even imagined
them all together as one album, even though they were released at
different times. Also, the overall quality of all three EP's is so
high that I can't say that one is better or weaker than any of the
other ones.
The CD also
features 2 brand new tracks exclusive for this release, Street Lamps
Calling and The Warrior's Spell, which indicates that they definitely
maintain the high quality songwriting, and instantly leaves you
wanting more. If you missed the tapes, that all sold out quite fast,
there's no excuse to not get your hands on this CD.
Can't wait to
find out what Tarot will have to offer in 2015! 9/10
