SEARCH IT!!!! Seek and Enjoy!!!.-Jeff Wagner (METAL MANIACS MAGAZINE AUGUST 2000*) This is surely one of the main albums the NEW WAVE of BRITISH HEAVY METAL legends must've been copping riffs from. Anthem after anthem, classic song after classic song, this kicks more ass than the combined Ted Nuggent catalog, and isn't near as insulting to the intelligence! Very esoteric in spots, as their name suggests, (and not to be confused with the Illonios-based Sorcery, who chugged out some pretty dunderheaded early metal at the exact same time). This 70's-era metal (recorded in 1978, so it's the real deal ! ) like a more metal-minded Blue Oyster Cult (compare to B.O.C's "Wings Wetted Down" to Sorcery's "Wizard Council" the bands are surely proto-metal peers). Originally conceived to accompany the motion picture of the same name, the soundtrack far out lived the cheese-ola flick. SORCERY'S "StuntRock" (SORCERYMUSIC INT'L). Here's some additional info, from Wikipedia, their web-site, and a review of the DVD edition of the movie:

I have never seen the movie - I should check it out sometime. Quite strange early "proto-metal" - sort of like a cross between early BOC, Alice Cooper, Frank Zappa, it's kind of strange stuff.

Not to be confused with the USA, Chicago Sorcery School of Rock may not be the most visionary of soundtracks, but it is a fun souvenir from a fun movie.Sorcery (USA, Los Angeles) - Stunt Rock: Original Soundtrack of the Motion Picture (1978) Likewise, the cover of the Stooges' "TV Eye" by Wylde Ratttz - aka Don Fleming, Thurston Moore, Steve Shelley, Mark Arm, Mike Watt, and Ron Asheton - which also appeared on the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack, is another affectionate yet creative cover. However, School of Rock's cover of AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top" is faithful both to the band's vision - Black looks and sounds like a plus-size version of Angus Young - and to the movie's playful spirit. Coming up with material for not one but two fictional bands seems to have been a challenge for the soundtrack's songwriters while Black gives songs like "School of Rock" and "Fight" his all, they don't come close to his work with his own band, Tenacious D. The soundtrack also nods to some newer bands such as the Black Keys, whose "Set You Free" is a fine piece of bluesy garage rock revivalism, as well as the Darkness' proudly glam metal "Growing on Me." Not surprisingly, Black performs on several of the soundtrack's songs, with both the School of Rock band and No Vacancy. Rex's "Ballrooms of Mars" and the Ramones' "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)" added on for extra credit. The Who's "Substitute," the Doors' "Touch Me," Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love," and Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" form a pretty solid curriculum, with T. The soundtrack to Richard Linklater's Jack Black-starring film School of Rock more or less lives up to its name, collecting textbook examples of what it means to rock out from some of the bands who wrote that book.
