| Its
hard to describe the music but what you can definitely say is that
Sylvans overtly theatrical vocals do tend to overpower everything and in
some cases the banality of the lyrics just reduce songs to almost comic
proportions. Rhyming couplets like the one below for the song
Aleister Crowley
do not good songs make:
I'm Aleister Crowley - tolling the bell
I'm Aleister Crowley - At the gates of hell
Its too easy to be
critical especially when you read some of the quotes from the time. Rikki Sylvan born Nicholas Condron explains his name
"The name is magical...I plotted an astrological course for Rikki, from the day
I invented him" Devotee of magic and Crowley he
explained ..."I'll do a ritual over our record to make it influential - not
successful, mind you, influential."
Yeah right!
To be kind to them I
think they can be summed up as aiming high but missing spectacularly!
