One of the great overlooked albums released on Bellaphon’s progressive Bacilus label. Heavy organ/Mellotron clawing for space with blistering guitar leads. Not too surprising some of this sounds a bit like labelmates Nektar.
Limited gatefold vinyl edition of 500 copies.
“Strongly interconnected with fellow Marburg band Pell Mell, though the musical connection is not always so obvious, Frame exhibited a style that had very little in common with them really, being much more influenced by the late-60’s heavy psychedelia and blues rock by the likes of Deep Purple or Vanilla Fudge. Only some of the rhythmic structures hinted at the Pell Mell connection. Mixing in folky styles and progressive touches into their heavy rock style, their sole album FRAME OF MIND bore the unmistakable stamp of Dieter Dierks at the mixing desk, with great use of dynamics and stereo dimension. Really varied, steering away from the mainstream of early-70’s rock, with many classic moves and excellent vocals, all giving it that something special, it’s an album that’s still amazingly fresh even today. Andy Kirnberger was a featured guest on early Pell Mell albums, after Frame’s demise he went on to the vastly inferior Hardcake Special, whilst Cherry Hochdörfer and Wolfgang Klaus moved to Pell Mell.
