The Brass Ring was one of my favorite bands from the 1960's, along with Herb Alpert and the Bob Crewe Generation. Although there are similarities among these three bands (among others), they are each quite different. And the two albums on this CD each have a different sound, although both are from 1968. The Brass Ring's sound is what we would call lounge music today.
Gazpacho has lush arrangements, and excellent recorded sound. It's a nice transfer to digital, too -- all the high frequencies are preserved. It's just great.
Only Love is different -- different arrangements, and a different sound. The sound is also "thinner". I'm not sure, but it doesn't sound like a problem with the digital transfer. There's not much bass energy, very unlike Gazpacho. The arrangements for Only Love use the drums differently, too. The rhythm section is often relentless.
I'll listen to Gazpacho many times, and it will likely become one of my favorite albums. I'll probably not listen to Only Love more than once or twice more.
