Twilight, Day and Night (Garden of Delights)
Cyberconnection: http://www.forcedexposure.com/labels/garden.of.delights.germany.html

  Another super-obscure (recorded in 1975, never released until this 2000 CD 
"reissue") German album released by Garden of Delights. The CD's not 
worthless, but I must say I can't blame Twilight's 70's label for not putting 
the release of  Day and Night  high on their priority list.
  The first song, "Day and Night" is undoubtably the best, an 8+ minute all 
instrumental jam featuring wonderfully Gilmour-esque guitar leads and 
rippling piano chords and a nice 6/8 part at the end. I doubt I could take a 
whole CD's worth of this, but it works pretty well. The rest of the CD is 
quite different, though, focusing on hard rocking Zeppelin-ish tunes with 
minimal progressive influence.
  I admit, the first time I listened to it, I could barely make it through 
the rest of the CD. But subsequent listens did reveal that there was some 
worthwhile material there after all (besides, how could I not dread songs 
called "White Queen Boogie" and "Rock'n'roll Chillun'"?). The second and last 
tunes are particularly good, both having strong riffs and, on the last, a 
welcome keyboard presence after their seeming disappearance earlier in the 
album. And even the horridly titled songs come of better than they might 
seem. 
  If it seems like I'm going easy on this album, it's because I know it's not 
really my sort of thing. I doubt anyone thinks its a masterpiece, but it 
seems decent enough for aficionados of the style, nothing more, nothing less.
