High Tide – Sea Shanties (1969, UK)

A fierce, violin-driven collision of early progressive rock, heavy psychedelia and gothic atmosphere, unlike anything else of its era.
The interplay between Tony Hill’s raw guitar and Simon House’s electric violin creates a dark, swirling tension that feels both primal and visionary.
Despite its heaviness, the album carries a strange melodic beauty, emerging through long, dramatic passages full of emotional weight.
A cult essential—intense, hypnotic, and one of the most daring foundations of British proto-prog.

High Tide – Sea Shanties (1969, UK)

Un torbellino de proto-prog oscuro, guitarras incendiarias y violín eléctrico furioso e inconfundible.
Comparables al King Crimson de In the Court pero mucho más duros y desatados, casi proto-metal.
La densidad de su sonido está años por delante de su tiempo, con estructuras complejas y un dramatismo brutal.
Uno de los discos más salvajes e influyentes del underground británico.
