After years of eating Marc Bolan finally broke through as a rock star in the spring of 1971. A striking musical change of direction was one of the reasons for the sudden success. The music of T.Rex was characterized by effective rock riffs and choruses that you can join after two times. The good looks of Bolan and his regular sidekick Micky Finn did the rest. Even without images of Bolan's flannel… pants and wild curly head, Electric Warrior is still enjoyable, despite the fact that Bolan would rather write singles than think about complete albums. Between ramps like Jeepster, Mambo Sun and Get It On, there is also room for the beautiful, thoughtful Cosmic Sun that is strongly inspired by the songs of John Lennon. According to the booklet accompanying this CD, Bolan was always looking for 'the vibe' while recording Electric Warrior, in other words, the spontaneous atmosphere that characterized the rock-n'-roll of the fifties. Years later Electric Warrior still sounds exciting and the album got a place in the rock canon to which Bolan so often referred to. (PdK)more
