Who was it that mentioned Atomic Rooster "In Hearing of"?....Oh I know, it was the DaKillerWolf (Frosty)

I'm listening to this kick ass killer album right now through a Schiit Asgard 2 (headphone Amp) and a pair of AKG K701 head phones, all I can say is that this has got to be one of the finest rock albums ever made. Why this band isn't remembered is beyond my comprehension . Atomic Rooster for the win! :grinthumb

There's probably another 20+ albums from 1971 that were classics but the three above I like a lot.
