Phantom's Divine Comedy - Part 1 (1974 re 2003)


Tom Carson sounds a bit like Iggy Pop but his melodramacy is more forced. Gary Meissner on guitar is very good. The others are John Bdanjeck (d,p), Dennis Craner (b) and Mike DeMartino (k). The entire album is a kind of hard-psych operetta. I can imagine seeing scenes come replaced by Phantom's recitative briefing when guitarist Carson conveys the story line. Overall this less known light and "mysterious" rock opera is high-class art work.
