Released in October of '76, Technical Ecstasy was born of fire and raised in flames. Whilst there is evidence it was a confusing time for Black Sabbath, there's an extraordinary strength and vitality about the music. Despite all the problems, both within the band and also around them, if one listens back to the album again today, one will hear that Black Sabbath could still work their magic in the studio. What emerged was definitely several steps removed from those far off days of their eponymous debut in 1970. But this was a band who were several years further down the musical dirt track - and one not prepared to repeat the past. Sabbath retained their trademark ability to riff and blaze like no others on the planet, but they were also expanding their universe, proving to everyone they could not only march boldly on towards the end of their first decade together, but could adapt and mature into the bargain.
