ReviewsRecord Collector (magazine) (p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]heir secret weapon, the electric autoharp, set them apart from the rest of the East Coast pack of the time and still sounds like fun."
Additional informationPersonnel: Steve Bohn (guitars); Michael John Hackett (drums). Audio Mixer: Wendy Carlos. Liner Note Author: Tiffany Anders. Arrangers: Angel Petersen; Stephen Dale Bohn. Michaelangelo's sole album is in most respects average, if pleasant, folk-rock-psychedelia with male-female vocal harmonies/lead trade-offs that sounds as if it might have been recorded a couple of years or so prior to its 1971 release date. There is, however, one factor that makes it distinguishable from many similar LPs of the era: the Autoharp of Angel Autoharp, as she's billed on the record, who also wrote the group's material. There's no other rock album of the period, quite possibly, that uses the Autoharp so prominently, almost as though it is, in effect, a lead guitar (or an important rhythm guitar) within the rock instrumentation. Angel also sings some of the material, which largely has a bittersweet and haunting (if basically upbeat) flavor, though male vocals also take the lead on some tracks. The vocal numbers are OK (though not special), but the real standouts are the instrumentals. In those, the harpsichord really steps forward as a featured instrument, and rock, folk, and classical melodies and dynamics are combined in a fashion that avoids the bombast and pretension afflicting many British and European attempts at a rock-classical fusion within the progressive rock format. An engagingly light if somewhat slight oddity, it's odd that a major-label album such as this had (as of 35 years after its release) escaped CD reissue, a situation that probably won't endure forever. ~ Richie Unterberger
