Description/Reviews: 

Zorbonauts is a new band name under which the more serious musical side of those otherwise abstract humourists, Deckchair Poets, now shelter.
Zorbonauts first release, Tall Tails, is a contemporary look at material originally performed and recorded by Lynden, during his early Jerusalem days, which has now been turned inside-out, given several lyrical alterations, and, in the case of Primitive Man, an impressive extention.

Description/Reviews: 

"Puppet King" clearly shows off their prog tendencies, with Drury laying down plenty of synth & organ tones alongside Hannifan's blistering riffs. Williams still has a great voice, lending a bluesy touch to the title track and "Leopard Skin Pie" (complete with some soaring violin from Hall), almost sounding a bit like Jethro Tull legend Ian Anderson. "Shades of Blue" is like a meeting of Deep Purple & Kansas, as Downes' heavy Hammond organ saddles up next to Hannifan's heavy riffs and Hall's majestic violin in fine fashion, and "The Albatross" is a thumping blues rocker, reminiscent of Tull's early '90s material. Back to hard charging prog on the excellent "Surfing From Sydney to Marrakech", as Hannifan's crisp riffs provide the punch and Downes' Mellotron & Hammond the majesty, with Williams' catchy vocal melodies drawing the listener in even further. Easily one of the highlights of the album. "Smokestack Ammunition" is a thunderous heavy rocker in the Deep Purple/Uriah Heep vein, and another must hear track on Black Horses, and the lush, meditative "Eternity" takes things out in tranquil fashion, with Williams' gentle vocals supported by layers of keyboards and crisp drums from D'Virgilio.
Black Horses is indeed a very fine release, and even if you've never heard their heavy rocking 1972 debut, chances are if you like modern prog and '70s styled hard rock you'll get a lot of mileage out of this one. One miss here is the drab CD booklet design, which seems more geared towards an album for children than a hard rock & prog audience. (Pete Pardo at seaoftranquility.org)
