CD Reviews?but certainly not funky redmax | UK | 05/04/2001 (3 out of 5 stars) "Formed from the ashes of 60s psych outfit The Churchills, this Israeli band signed to A&M records and released this album in 1971. Tracks include 'Man in the Crowd', 'Triangulum' and 'Champs'. Traces of psychedlia can still be found on some, whereas other songs mark the band's move towards hard rock, a style they would embrace in full on their next album, the excellent 'Jericho'" A Great Piece of Rock History Fred Rayworth | Las Vegas, NV United States | 10/20/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've liked Jericho since they made me deaf at the Marquee Club in London in 72. This is the album they made before shortening their name from Jericho Jones to just plain Jericho. I've read that this album is a transition from when they were called the Churchills to what they became, Jericho. Enough history lesson! This album rocks! I've never heard anything quite like them. I hear all kinds of influences in the music but the guitar work really stands out. Complex riffing and lots of great fills by the lead guitarist. Some have compared them to Deep Purple, but I don't see much of a resemblance except for the complexity of the music. To me, as I said before, they don't really sound like anyone I've ever heard before. Unique, rocks like hell, what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!" A true treasure!!! Ari Idan | Toronto, Canada | 04/29/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you apreciate fresh, well recorded & well executed historically important 70's rock album- GRAB this one! This band was really special, and still sound interesting. They experimented various types of music, and even performed with a philharmonic orchestra in Israel. All their matterial is of quality, and is highly collectible. ENJOY!!!"
