The second album of the last
Mythos lineup follows the trend of
Strange Guys with hard rock guitars and songs with longer instrumental parts. The flute is used more frequently and sometimes takes the lead voice. There are still some spheric parts and new ideas like the voice of a female opera singer on "Ulysses B. Smart," a song that slowly evolves in the applause of a big audience in the end. The title track is a space rock epic reminding one of
Hawkwind. Maybe
Concrete City is the most commercial
Mythos LP, with good songs, but nevertheless was overlooked by the music press. ~ Klaus Kehrle
