Tamburlaine "Rebirth" 1973

Internationally and at home in the 1970s, the softer sounds of folk rock and melodic prog swept the airwaves. Singer-songwriters gaining exposure included Shona Laing, John Hanlon, and groups Waves from Auckland, Serenity in Christchurch and Lutha in Dunedin. In the middle of it all was Tamburlaine…

…Tamburlaine was renowned for their rich vocal harmonies and diverse instruments.
Leong and Robinson were keen to start a group that would play the exciting new sounds in the folk tradition.
‘Say No More’ is simply astonishing, and rightly recognised as one of New Zealand’s 100 Essential Albums.
On their next record, Tamburlaine would struggle with much more deeply troubled mixes.
Tamburlaine found its feet quite quickly with new members Rob Winch and early Mammal drummer Mark Hansen.
From opener ‘New World’ to closer ‘Rebirth’, the album bursts with the youthful, hippie optimism.
In March 2019 Kiwi Pacific re-released both Tamburlaine albums – ‘Say No More’ and ‘Rebirth’ – on a single CD.  - https://www.audioculture.co.nz/people/tamburlaine
