Editorial Reviews

Death Walks Behind You is the second studio album by British rock band Atomic Rooster. It is commonly thought of as the archetypal Atomic Rooster album, recorded by the 'classic' line-up of Vincent Crane, John Du Cann and Paul Hammond. Catalog # : MOVLP1907 Format : 1 LP, 180 gram Releasedate : July 21 2017 Barcode : 8719262004108 Sleeve : Gatefold Original Release : 1970 Side A 1. Death Walks Behind You 2. Vug 3. Tomorrow Night 4. 7 Streets Side B 1. Sleeping For Years 2. I Can't Take No More 3. Nobody Else 4. Gershatzer It is, critically and commercially, their most successful album and often hailed as a classic of the progressive rock genre. It also produced the hit single "Tomorrow Night" (UK #11), which became one of the band's best-known songs. The album's cover features the William Blake monotype Nebuchadnezzar. The title track was covered on record in 1992 by Paradise Lost, in 2000 by Bigelf (on their album Money Machine) and in 2012 by Swedish death metal band NonExist. A repackaging and remastering job restores the original artwork in all its gatefold glory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, heavy and ambitious, this album blew me away...
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2011

Brilliant, heavy and ambitious, this album blew me away. I have never heard Atomic Rooster before...all I knew about them was that Carl Palmer was their drummer prior to forming ELP. The keyboardist, Vincent Crane, was very reminiscent of Jon Lord and Keith Emerson. Oddly enough, he went on to play keys for Dexy's Midnight Runners, then sadly committed suicide.

If you are a fan of ELP (minus the Greg Lake ballads), early Jethro Tull, Deep Purple or Procol Harum, than you owe it yourself to check this album out. It also includes six bonus tracks derived from BBC broadcasts, demos and B-sides.

4.0 out of 5 stars Death Walks Behind You - Atomic Rooster
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2013
Verified Purchase
This 1970 release was the 2nd for British rock band Atomic Rooster, but the first for the new line-up, which was: Vincent Crane - keyboards/backing vocals; John Cann - guitars/lead vocals; Paul Hammond - drums/percussion. Notice that there is no credit for bass - Vincent (the only founding band member left) plays the bass lines using some special adapters and the foot pedals on his Hammond organ. This is not really so odd, The Doors never had a permanent bass player either and it didn't hold them back.
This 2000 re-release from German label Repertoire contains a multi-page booklet with extensive liner notes on the band's history as well as relevant information on each of the songs. There are a total of 8 tracks on this album ranging in length from 3-1/2 minutes to nearly 8 minutes. Technically speaking there are no bonus tracks on this CD; however, one of the songs, "Tomorrow Night", which had a fade-out style ending for the single is presented here in long form. This package contains the original artwork for the album cover as released in the UK, which - apparently - was different from the USA release.
As far as describing the music style for this package, I would say the formula is something like this: (Deep Purple - the overly dramatic bits) + (Iron Butterfly + better songwriting). Three songs in this package stand out from the others; "Death Walks Behind You" which starts with an ominous descending piano riff (think opening bass line for "Dazed And Confused") and has a somewhat sinister feel, the more uptempo "Tomorrow Night", which also starts with a simple but hypnotic piano line and features excellent guitar fills, and "I can't Take No More" with its jackhammer bass drum beats (not unlike "Paranoid" but slowed down a bit) and staccato blasts of power chord accents from the guitarist. If you like 70s era British rock, then you will want this release for your collection.

When I was at school and couldn't afford to buy the LP, I used to borrow it from my friends big sister. It sounded brilliant then and sounds even better today! A bunch of bonus tracks included makes it an awesome purchase!
I can't stop playing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars feeling 1971
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2011

Probably one of the greatest records from the eary seventies.Best part is no-one knows about Vincent Crane on organ/bass/vocs,John DuCann with his heavy riffs and sceaming leads and Paul Hammond as the soulful drummer.What sets Atomic Rooster apart is the funk sensibility that can be heard on songs like 'Sleeping for Years' and 'Gershatzer',nevermind the dark,heavy title track that gives us a peek into the gloomy life of "normal" people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vinyl Reissue Review
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2014
Verified Purchase
Incredible album; progressive, psychedelic and hard rocking- great reviews abound, but as for the vinyl reissue: fantastic! Clear as a bell, beautiful packaging- paper sleeve with detailed track listing and information; inserted poster of the guys looking rather intense; attractive colored vinyl ('orange splash') and with the classic cover.
A most excellent presentation of this classic album.
Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars After 50 years I have once again replaced another import LP to my collection ( hooray!)
Reviewed in Canada on July 2, 2023
Verified Purchase
When I was all of 16 years old my parents went back to England on Holiday, as a present, they returned home with an LP for my collection. It was as it turned out to be A WONDERFUL BAND NAMED ATOMIC ROOSTER, and the name of the LP was DEATH WALKS BEHIND YOU. The graphics were extremely out of this world as was the music. Unfortunately being quite young I leant it out to people I thought were my friends and it came back destroyed, scratched all over the place and in horrid condition. Being an IMPORT I was unable to replace the disc and I could not replace it until now when I had access to AMAZON.CA. what a great place to shop. I keep going back there now as there is always something there now for me to replace items that I had lost years ago.
