“Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.”

T2: It'll All Work Out in Boomland (1970)

Before there was U2, there was ... T2?

Emerging into a progressive rock scene given to overstatement and embellishment, England's T2 came up with one of the genre's most mysteriously brief monikers and conversely colorful album titles with 1970's It'll All Work Out in Boomland.

A power trio composed of expert players Keith Cross (guitar, keyboards, harmony vocals), Bernard Jinks (bass, harmony vocals), and Peter Dunton (drums, lead vocals), T2 emerged from the ashes of earlier groups like Neon Pearl, Please, and Bulldog Breed.

Obviously, all of these are now all-but forgotten (Dunton also briefly joined Adrian Gurvitz's Gun), along with T2, but modern-day critics and collectors still rave about It'll All Work Out in Boomland, and for good reason ...

At first, I wasn't entirely sold on this 55-year-old record (my appetite for prog-rock remains finicky, at best), but I can now say you won't find too many ensembles able to back up their tall compositional ambitions with both quality songcraft and undeniable virtuosity.

To wit, first cut "In Circles" is a hard-driving, hard-rocking, eight-minute juggernaut infused with the clinical urgency of jazz fusion, minus the excessive solos, while the album's shortest number, "J.L.T.," counters this with a dreamy but not cloying semi-psych.

Next up, "No More White Horses" opens with vicious guitar shredding worthy of Ritchie Blackmore before gliding into cinematic horns (come to think of it, not unlike Gun's earlier work) and delicate piano, before mounting a steady crescendo towards a cacophonous climax.

Finally, the fourth and final cut, "Morning," sprawls across all of side two with over 21-minutes of eclectic but tasteful and never wasteful style-hopping, evoking everyone from from King Crimson to Pink Floyd to Soft Machine to the as-yet-non-existent Rush.

But, somehow, all this talent went to waste ...

Following the album's release on Decca, T2 played numerous U.K. clubs, including London's Marquee, and later at the legendary Isle of Wight Festival, but work on a second LP faltered amid dwindling promotional support and growing musical differences.

T2 broke up and their unfinished album was shelved indefinitely, until resurgent interest for overlooked '70s gems led to a 1990s reunion and new releases like '92's Second Bite, '93's Waiting for the Band, '94's On the Front Line, and '97's early demos collection Fantasy.

I haven't heard any of these but I'm now very tempted to seek them out based on the impressive contents of It'll All Work Out in Boomland, which I highly recommend to fellow fans of vintage heavy rock and prog.

Are you going to try to bind me, a witch?
