Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.

Sheev's picture

Bumping bassline, drums that skitter, guitar wailing.
Sweet-spot phrasing, husky mouthpiece, Bruce is sublime.

Percussive, staccato, sibilant - simultaneously a requiem for and a celebration of a fleeting love. A symmetry of sound and imagery - unstitched by self-consciousness.

"White Room" by Cream is preposterous - and - perfect.

God, I love Cream


I love the way this song gels, yet you get the impression that Clapton and Baker could be in different bands, let alone channels.

For me...

...nothing else did quite lived up to it, and "Pressed Rat and Warthog" killed off any remaining goodwill. Awesome track, though.

In 1979, my 13-year-old self...

...was introduced to Cream via Hugh Cornwell and Robert Williams's cover

Me too

You've prompted me to nip over to the iTunes store and buy the best of Cream - 20 tracks for a fiver. All my vinyl is too worn to try a CD transfer.

2:43 of pure pleasure. Not a note out of place.

three skinny white dudes

conjure up the ghost of Robert Johnson - and Mestipholes watches from the wings and thinks "let me bring Hades to Earh for the lives of these three" and cooks up a little something in a battered spoon
