First Utterance is the debut album of the British progressive rock band Comus. It was released in 1971, with the opening song Diana being released as a single. Unfavorable reviews, combined with a postal strike, resulted in low sales, and the band quickly dissolved after its release.
First Utterance was notable for its unique blend of progressive rock, folk, psychedelia, and elements of paganism and the macabre. The overall thematic tone of the album is of vulnerable innocence facing abusive power,[1] the songs dealing with violence ("Drip Drip"), rape ("Diana", "Song to Comus"), and harsh treatment of insanity ("The Prisoner"). These themes contrast starkly with the acoustic sound of the record, featuring acoustic guitar, violin, flute, and lyrical, almost arcadian, female harmonies. Although since reissued, the vinyl original has been known to change hands for £150.00 (~$US300)[2]
References to Comus by other bands and artists include Opeth, citing its lyrics in album and song titles. Experimental outfit Current 93 also covered "Diana" as the opening song on their 1990 LP Horse.

Roy Harper still rates this album as one of his finest. A more mature work given added distinction by sympathetic, evocative string arrangements from David Bedford. It also saw the start of a musical relationship with Led Zeppalin's guitarist Jimmy Page, who features on the track 'The Same Old Rock'.

如万人空巷般的体育场里，三个年青人正在空旷的舞台上卖力的弹奏著改编自古典音乐的作品。看似长髮披肩、老成持重的Keith正用疾如风的指法快速地滑过键盘﹔身材修长、却有张娃娃脸的Greg一面弹吉它一面唱和著﹔短髮而显出乾静俐落、精神饱满模样的Carl则準确专注地敲击。三种逕谓分明的形象，用各自擅长的乐器演奏著迥异於原曲的古典音乐，複杂的曲式结构与简洁有力的演绎却还能完美地调和在一块。欣赏他们技术精準而临场即兴的现场实况是每个乐迷所津津乐道的，在当时的定义中这就是所谓的超级乐团，他们就是七十年代独领风骚的前卫/古典摇滚巨星Emerson, Lake and Palmer。

Japanese heavy blues psychedelia. Originally released in 1970. 8 tracks including 'Atomic Bombs Away', 'Mississippi Mountain Blues' & 'Just I Was Born'. Standard jewel case.

Marvin Gaye 把 1971 年专辑《What’s Going On》的标题曲拿给摩城音乐创始人 Berry Gordy 时，据传后者曾表示，那是他听过的最糟糕的东西。音乐太松散，歌词则太政治化。但就连 Elvis Presley 都唱起了抗议歌曲（1969 年的《In the Ghetto》），Marvin Gaye 为什么不可以？<br /><br />
这张专辑的奥妙就在于那份轻盈。歌曲自在呼吸，演绎自然松弛，甚至有些漫不经心，例如标题曲中负责演奏萨克斯的 Eli Fontaine 录音时甚至以为自己不过是在热身。Sly & The Family Stone 在苦涩的放克里倾泻怒火的同时（1971 年的《There’s a Riot Goin’ On》），Gaye 则用华丽的弦乐和拉丁鼓点表达着他的不满，柔和而且显得老练。哪怕是触及毒品（《Flyin’ High [In the Friendly Sky]》）和贫困问题（《Inner City Blues [Make Me Wanna Holler]》）等严肃主题时，他也轻盈得如同御风而行。这张专辑让我们明白，政治音乐不一定要剑拔弩张，也可以温暖怡人。
