On "Mojo" issue 295 (June 2018) a piece by Jon Savage titled "Heavy Weather 1968", dedicated to the records that signed the origins of heavy rock, quotes our Mike Taylor in a brief review on Cream's "Crossroads" (published in July 1968).
He writes: "Much of Cream's studio output runs contrary to their blistering live reputation: the eight cuts on the first disc of the era-defining double Wheels Of Fire oscillate between psychedelic pop (White Room), enhanced blues (Politician; Sitting on Top Of The World) and avant-pop experiments like Passing The Time and Pressed Rat And Warthog (written by Ginger Baker in collaboration with the jazz pianist and composer Mike Taylor)..."
