Biografia:

Constituído por Stuart Cowell (teclados, guitarra e vocais), John Lee (baixo), Tony Priestland (saxofone, flauta e oboé) e Jim Toomey (bateria), esse grupo inglês de rock progressivo pegou seu nome, ipsis litteris, do personagem central do romance gótico de Mervyn Peake – uma variante da fixação em torno de Tolkien e O Senhor dos Anéis, expressa por muitas bandas similares da época. 

Por outro lado, havia poucas qualidades distinguíveis imediatamente para quem ouvisse os dois discos da banda, lançados em 1970 pela gravadora Dawn Records. O single, "Open The Door, Homer", compartilhou a falta de convicção do grupo com o isolado álbum homônimo, editado na sequência. Conquanto o uso de instrumentos de sopro oferecesse novas possibilidades, a incapacidade de composição coesa da Titus Groan impediu-as de prosperar. Logo após o lançamento do disco longo (reeditado em CD, em 1989, pela gravadora See For Miles Records), a banda se dissolveu. Toomey, posteriormente, se uniu ao grupo Tourists (AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).

(*) CD lançado em 1997.

Biografia:

Vanilla Fudge é uma veterana banda de rock psicodélico, viajante e pesado, que ficou famosa no final dos anos 60 por seu ritmo cadenciado e utilização de órgão na execução de vários sucessos da época.

Formada no ano de 1966, em Long Island, Nova Iorque, EUA, seus primeiros integrantes foram Carmine Appice (bateria e vocal), Tim Bogert (baixo e vocal), Vince Martell (guitarra e vocal) e o cantor Mark Stein, que também atuou como tecladista e arranjador do grupo. Precursora do heavy metal, a Vanilla Fudge mereceu citação, como influenciadora, de Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Styx, Uriah Heep e Yes, entre outras bandas.

A Vanilla Fudge estreou nas paradas pop rock em 1967 com o cover de "You Keep Me Hang On", da Supremes. Inicialmente um pequeno sucesso, essa canção reingressou nas paradas em 1968, quando então chegou ao Top 10 e se tornou a música mais conhecida da banda. Mais um Top 10 foi alcançado no encerramento de 1968 através da versão de "Take Me For A Little While", composta por Trade Martin.

Tanto "You Keep Me Hang On" quanto "Take Me For A Little While" figuraram no primeiro álbum do grupo, homônimo, lançado em 1967, que também continha covers de clássicos como  "She's Not There", da Zombies, e "Eleanor Rigby", dos Beatles. Outros sucessos da banda, que continuaram até 1969: "Where Is My Mind" (1968), "Season Of The Witch, Pt. 1" (1968), "Shotgun" (1969), "Some Velvet Morning" (1969) e "Need Love" (1969). 

Desde sua separação, em 1970, a banda se reuniu várias vezes ao longo dos anos, tendo se reagrupado de forma mais permanente em 1999. Permaneceu realizando turnês e se apresentando continuamente até os dias atuais com um lineup formado por três membros originais, Appice, Martell e Stein, acrescido de Pete Bremy no baixo. A Vanilla Fudge foi incluída no Long Island Music Hall Of Fame em 2006 (Allbutforgottenoldies.net; tradução livre do inglês).

Resenha:

Creditado a Paul Kantner, Grace Slick e David Freiberg, "Baron Von Tollbooth & The Chrome Nun" foi o primeiro álbum gravado por esses ex-membros da Jefferson Airplane (nota minha: David Freiberg integrou apenas a Jefferson Starship) desde a separação do grupo. 

Como outros discos com ex-integrantes da Airplane ("Blows Against The Empire", de 1970, e "Sunfighter", de 1971), "Baron" apresentou um elenco da área da baía de São Francisco, Califórnia, EUA, incluindo músicos atuais e antigos de uma variedade de grupos: Grateful Dead (o guitarrista Jerry Garcia, o percussionista Mickey Hart e o letrista Robert Hunter, que compôs os versos de "Harp Tree Lament"), Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (o cantor David Crosby) e Flying Burrito Brothers (o baixista Chris Ethridge), além de outros ex-participantes da Airplane e futuros componentes da banda Jefferson Starship. Até o grupo Pointer Sisters foi convidado para tocar numa faixa. Mas, malgrado as colaborações, a força motriz do álbum recaiu em Slick, que cantou em todas as faixas e compôs ou coescreveu seis das dez músicas (mas ainda sobrou espaço para o "estranho no ninho" Jack Traylor escrever a canção "Flowers Of The Night", tocar guitarra acústica e cantar na respectiva faixa, uma narrativa de derrocadas monárquicas ao longo da história). Talvez mais covers devessem ter sido utilizados, já que as músicas aqui não primavam pela qualidade. E isso o público também percebeu: enquanto "Blows Against The Empire", de Kantner, atingiu o Top 20 das paradas, "Baron Von Tollbooth" não chegou nem perto do Top 100. O pessoal remanescente da Airplane ainda tentou mais uma cartada através do álbum "solo" de Slick, "Manhole", antes de se reagrupar sob a denominação Jefferson Starship, em 1974, com o notável retorno do cantor e compositor Marty Balin (William Ruhlmann, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
