That doesn't mean the all-original songs are that good, that they're especially imaginative players, or that Bill Thorndycraft's semi-barked vocals are so special. But it makes for a refreshing change from the normal not-so-well-known British blues-rock albums of the era, with a brash streak to both the lean arrangements (particularly in the frequent rushed tempos and Bas Smith's crisp drumming) and lyrics missing from many of their peers. Slight nods to the world of underground rock outside of the blues form are heard in the yearning hippie ethos of "Soon There Will Be Everything," where the violin of Paul Spencer Mac again takes them a little outside of the standard framework for the genre. The countercultural mindset of the time is occasionally reflected in numbers like "Call for the Politicians" and the wittily titled "Fido Castrol," somewhat in the bluntly sardonic manner of another band of the day, the Deviants. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide ## Images ![Out of Uranus - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619FKTvPHAL.jpg) ![Out of Uranus - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51jyTY-NmUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "......Wake Up......Get Up......Get Yourself Together......" *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2016* Wow, what a fantastic album and, a testament of the great music that was produced in the decade of the "sixties"! I discovered this band entirely by accident (thanks to the great uploads on YouTube), and man, I'm so grateful that I did. Killing Floor's "Out of Uranus" (from 1970) was the follow-up to their first eponymous release from a year earlier. This second album (they broke-up shortly thereafter), is a solid mix of power-blues, jazz, and trippy psychedelic-rock. The best way to describe this incredible band---for me anyway---they were like the second coming of The Yardbirds. But, in all fairness, they had an originality that was all their own---truly gifted musicians. Every track on this album is like rediscovering a lost friend, after a long period of time and, picking up where you left-off. The opening track---"Out of Uranus" starts things off nicely---"...wake up....get up....get yourself together..." The second song is one of my favorites on this album, the excellent---"Soon There Will Be Everything", "Acid Bean", "Where Nobody Ever Goes", the disparagingly---"Call For The Politicians", a brilliant tune. "Fido Castrol" another witty song. "Lost Alone", "Son Of Wet"---a great drum solo here, and "Milkman" closes-out this brilliant set of tunes by another: Great, but forgotten band from Britain that, were comparable if, not as well-known and successful as say---Ten Years After, Humble Pie, etc. This is phenomenally amazing rock 'n' roll and, I highly recommend their first album too. Killing Floor was f.....g killing it man! The sound quality of the CD (from Repertoire Records) is excellent.Love and Peace,Carlos Romero ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by O***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2015* killer stuff.... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ traditional blues based band second album from 1970 has something to offer half a century later *by J***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 19, 2020* Originally a quintet, piano player Lou Martin (who played two of his own compositions on the first album) left after finishing the debut album (later on he teamed up with Rory Gallagher) but somehow by mistake he is still mentioned as such on this ensuing album, which also features a new musician on special effects and violin, but except the first tones on the opening track I can not hear his role in the band. Another odd thing is that most songs are credited to "F. Floor" or "G. Floor", no idea where this stands for. The songs count for them selves, they are not outstanding but listenable. Aside that this is a worthwile effort, which focuses on lead guitar player Mick Clarke, who is surprisingly good. After disbanding Killing Floor he stayed active as an musician under his own name and recorded more than ten albums. Sadly this band came in tow when the British blues boom was already at end, musical tastes changed, other bands blossomed (for instance Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Ten Years After, The Who, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Mott the Hoople, plus the prog rock scene, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes, Genesis) which make this kind of blues rock outdated. By now, some fifty years later, it is an historic document. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17956609-out-of-uranus](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17956609-out-of-uranus) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
