Dr. Z [UK]

Discography
Three Parts of My Soul (71)
Reviews
Dr. Z is a not very famous English band of early '70's. Their music has a very simple rhythmic base and is obsessive, esoteric, peculiar, with very long piano and organ solos, baroque melodies and Satanic lyrics. The band published the album Three Parts of My Soul, a philosophical concept album, that is a rarity of the catalog of Vertigo (only 80 copies for the first edition). [Dr. Z was] Keith Keyes (lead vocals, keyboards), Bob Watkins (drums) and Rob Watson (bass). -- Ferdinando Santonicola
Dr. Z - "Three Parts to My Soul" (1971)
The first and only album by this British occult-progressive trio. The music on the album is may not the best I've heard, but just like Black Widow's "Sacrifice" it has a kind of a amusement-value to it. The band's sound was strongly dominated by harpsichord, which in fact gave the band a sound of their own. The music sounds sometimes rather helpless on a track like "Too Well Satisfied" but there are several listenable moments here too, like the beautiful and mellow "In a Token of Despair". The album has a concept that divides the soul into three parts: the one that goes to heaven, the one that goes to hell and the one that just stays on the earth to haunt if for eternity. The lyrics are very well written in all their creative evil. Just check out these lines from "Evil Woman's Manly Child": "Covet every man his wife/Cut love up with a knife/Salt the wound that's sore/Rub it where it cuts your mind in half/Set your fellow man against his friend/Torment him to the end" . Cute, don't you think?! Musically, this is also one of the better tracks on the album. A quite funny album for every collector of 70's progressive.
