SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION - S/T & TRIAD (2in1) (UK) heavy space rock

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION is another obscure late Psychedelia British band that would have been forgotten if Greg Lake wouldn’t have produced their first album, not because they were bad, by the contrary they were pretty good, but they joined in 1971 when adventurous listeners were expecting something more than just the old formula of British Psychedelia .

Face it guys, the classic LSD Psychedelic sound was dead in 1970, serious musical fans were searching for more adventurous music, by 1971 most of the big Prog bands like ELP, Genesis, Yes, Kings Crimson or Jethro Tull were miles ahead and the mainstream fans as always were searching for something simpler that could top the charts, the sad thing is that not even in the 60’s SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION would have reached the peak because there were too many similar acts with at least the same musical quality, like Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera, The Bonzo Dog Band or Arthur Brown, so this guys were condemned to oblivion or at least to fight for a place.
The band was formed by Tony Brock (Drums), Gary Margretts (Guitar – vocals) and Tristian Margretts (Bass, vocals), they released three 45 RPM (Lonely Singer/200 Lives/Leaving in 1971; Gay Time Night/Spaceship and Sabre Dance Pts 1 & 2 in 1972) plus only two LP’s, the first one was the self titled produced by Greg Lake (Who probably expected more from them) in 1972 and the second one was “Triad” released in 1973.
