Our Take

Procol Harum's "Grand Hotel (Expanded Edition)" is a luxurious feast for the ears, serving up a blend of baroque pop and progressive rock that's as opulent as a stay at the Ritz. Released in 1973, this album takes listeners on a musical journey through the grand halls of a fictional hotel, complete with lush orchestral arrangements and haunting lyrics.

The expanded edition of this classic album offers up a tantalizing array of bonus tracks, including live performances and alternate versions that provide a fascinating glimpse into the band's creative process. From the haunting title track to the epic "Toujours l'Amour," Procol Harum weaves a tapestry of sound that is both intricate and beguiling.

Lead singer Gary Brooker's soulful vocals are the crown jewel of this album, conveying a sense of longing and nostalgia that is both poignant and profound. The band's masterful musicianship is on full display here, with guitarist Mick Grabham and drummer BJ Wilson delivering powerful performances that drive the music forward with unrelenting force.

In conclusion, "Grand Hotel (Expanded Edition)" is a timeless masterpiece that showcases Procol Harum at the peak of their powers. So check in, pour yourself a glass of champagne, and let the music whisk you away to a world of luxury and intrigue. This is the kind of album that demands a full listen, from start to finish, so don't skip out on this musical gem. Cheers to Procol Harum for crafting such an unforgettable experience.

Procol Harum

Procol Harum: The Whimsical Wizards of Rock and Roll If there's one band that defines the term "eclectic", it's Procol Harum. These quintessentially British blokes burst onto the scene in the late 1960s with their iconic hit "A Whiter Shade of Pale", a song that's as trippy as a David Lynch film and as haunting as a ghost story told around a campfire. Led by the enigmatic Gary Brooker, Procol Harum's music is a delightful mishmash of baroque pop, psychedelic rock, and good old-fashioned rhythm and blues. With their classically-inspired melodies and Brooker's soulful vocals, they've managed to carve out a niche for themselves in the ever-evolving landscape of rock and roll. But don't let their whimsical sound fool you - these guys are serious musicians. Just listen to their album "A Salty Dog" and you'll hear the intricate arrangements, poetic lyrics, and masterful musicianship that set them apart from their peers. It's no wonder they've been praised by everyone from music critics to fellow rock legends. And let's not forget their legendary live performances. Procol Harum is known for putting on a show that's equal parts spectacle and musical virtuosity. From Brooker's mesmerizing stage presence to the band's tight-knit chemistry, every second of their concert is a testament to their enduring talent and showmanship. So whether you're a die-hard Procol Harum fan or a newcomer to their enchanting sound, one thing's for sure: these whimsical wizards of rock and roll are here to stay. So sit back, relax, and let the magic of Procol Harum wash over you. You won't regret it, mate.
