Our Take

Ah, Procol Harum, the band with the name that sounds like a cross between a fancy cheese and a Harry Potter spell. Their self-titled album, "Procol Harum", released in 1967, is a delightful journey through the psychedelic sounds of the era, with hints of whimsy and madness.

The opening track, "Conquistador", has everything you could want in a prog rock anthem - blaring horns, trippy organ solos, and lyrics about, well, conquistadors. It's like getting a history lesson while tripping on acid in a carnival funhouse.

The standout track on the album has to be "A Whiter Shade of Pale", a song so hauntingly beautiful that it feels like being wrapped in a warm blanket made of pure nostalgia. With its enigmatic lyrics and mesmerizing organ melody, it's no wonder this song became an instant classic.

But don't let the seriousness of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" fool you - Procol Harum also knows how to have some fun. Tracks like "She Wandered Through the Garden Fence" and "Cerdes (Outside the Gates Of)" showcase the band's playful side, with quirky lyrics and unexpected musical twists.

Overall, "Procol Harum" is a must-listen for any music lover with a taste for the eccentric and the eclectic. It's a wild ride from start to finish, and one that will leave you feeling like you've just stepped out of a time machine into the groovy '60s.

About the artist

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.
