Review

Penny
Lane and Time closes Winding's series of mod albums for Verve. The
album is treated to a gatefold jacket, and the personnel is different in
many ways, but still great. The biggest change is the flute work,
particularly the elegantly soft tones of Daniel Bank's bass flute. Had
it been used to this extent earlier, the bass flute might have changed
the mod sound substantially and even led to more sophisticated and
beautiful recordings. Winding wisely plays less and takes up the full
pen and baton duties. His ideas and the other players' chops are well
worth hearing. "Mini-skirt," a bossa nova, epitomizes Penny Lane and
what could have been a whole new sound for Winding.

Reseña
por Tony Wilds
Penny
Lane and Time cierra la serie de álbumes mod de Winding para Verve. El
álbum se presenta con una carátula, y el personal es diferente en muchos
aspectos, pero sigue siendo estupendo. El mayor cambio es el trabajo de
la flauta, en particular los tonos elegantemente suaves de la flauta
baja de Daniel Bank. Si se hubiera utilizado antes en esta medida, la
flauta baja podría haber cambiado sustancialmente el sonido de los mods e
incluso haber dado lugar a grabaciones más sofisticadas y hermosas.
Winding, sabiamente, toca menos y asume todas las funciones de la pluma y
la batuta. Merece la pena escuchar sus ideas y las de los demás
músicos. "Mini-skirt", una bossa nova, personifica a Penny Lane y lo que
podría haber sido un sonido totalmente nuevo para Winding.
