REPOST: McChurch Soundroom - Delusion (1971 German Heavy Prog)

BANDA ALEMÃ COM MUSICOS DE PRIMEIRA LINHA!! UM GRANDE ALBUM E UMA RARIDADE QUE RECOMENDO A TODO OS HOMENS DE BOM GOSTO!! A COMPARAÇÃO COM BANDA GRAVY TRAIN PODE SER FEITA, PRINCIPALMENTE PELO USO DE FLAUTAS E PELA VARIAÇÃO DE ESTILOS!! VENENO FUSION!!

Starting deceptively in folk-rock realms, "Delusion" moves around a lot, never sitting comfortably within any genre, and is largely instrumental, bridging psychedelic, hard-rock and fusion, being variably comparable to Gomorrha, Thirsty Moon and other such bands. The closest album to compare is Gravy Train's superb debut, which similarly featured flute in a variety of rock and fusion styles.

Another of those obscure bands about which there is little information. 'Delusion' (1972) is one of the rarest albums on the legendary Pilz label, and, therefore, hunted by collectors all over the globe. It has the typical German heavy progressive underground sound, based on loud guitars, trembling organ and flute. The sleeve generously credited the following people: "the Hamburg police appears during the session by kindly arrangement of enthusiastic neighbours"! The album contained five tracks in all. 'Dream of a Drummer' is slightly marred by a long drum solo, otherwise there is much to enjoy here. 'What Are You Doin'' contained an anti-drug message:
'What Are You Doin'', 'Time is Flying', and 'Delusion' are the highlights of this recommended album, produced by Konrad Plank.
As with so many contemporaries, McChurch Soundroom recorded just one album and then disappeared into obscurity (after the folding of Pilz in 1973

REPOST: Yatha Sidhra - A Meditation Mass (1974 German Progressive Rock Psych)

BANDA ALEMÃ OBSCURA E UM ALBUM RARO!! YATHA SIDHRA FAZIA UM SOM PRA LÁ DE MALUCO, ZEN E MEDITATIVO!! FLAUTA INDIANA SINTETISADOR, PIANO ELÉTRICO, GUITARRA DE 12 CORDAS, PERCUSSÃO E OUTROS INSTRUMENTOS NUMA HARMONIA CÓSMICA DE PIRAR A CABEÇA DE QUALQUER ENVENENADO!! ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO PRA QUEM QUISER DAR UMA RELAXADA E CURTIR UM SOM ALTAMENTE VIAJANTE!! ABRA UM VINHO, SENTE OU DEITE NO CHÃO E COMECE A VIAGEM!! VENENO COM ALTAS VARIAÇÕES!!

After several vain attempts in many bands, the brothers Rolf and Klaus Fichter finally found in 1973 their own musical identity. At this time the band original name BRONTOSAURUS changes to YATHA SIDHRA, a musical name which is really suitable for the new musical orientation taken by the two musicians. Particularly attentive to ethnic and meditative influences in popular music, they began to work on a long & epic piece called "A Meditation Mass" (under the influence of the famous Achim Reichel, the virtual member of the band who produces the album in 1974).The first intention was to create a dreamy musical landscape where the Moog synth, the flute & traditional "percussive" instruments play an important part. Seen as a concept album, "A Meditation Mass" is almost exclusively instrumental. A long suite divided in two themes with two variations for each one. A beautiful and ecstatic musical journey. Their sound oscillates between "pastoral" folk music, spacey rock with the addition of discreet jazzy accents. After this impressive work, YATHA SIDHRA is dissolved. At the beginning of the eighties, the brothers Fichter formed a new band called DREAMWORLD. A more synth meditative pop orientated music but it's worth checking.

His is Turkey's most notorious and dirty psychedelic underground band. They were formed in 1969 with the aim of having underground music reach wider audiences. They couldn't succeed well as their approach was very much wilder and uncompromising than any of their peers at the time; God, they were crazy! Running all nude down the Istiklal Street, psychedelic light shows, crazy paintings all over the stage wall and screaming of "LSD! LSD!" in their live shows. "Tas var köpek yok" is their first single from 1969 when they were very raw in sound and the interrupting guy at the end of the song is none other than Cem Karaca who managed them at the time. Later on Bunalimlar went on to be a psychedelic hard rock band and disbanded by 1972. Their records are in "golden grail" status right now!!! G.A.

In 1970 Grup Bunalim were one of the first bands being described as "underground".

The style is very raw psychedelic compairing with other groups from those days. They recorded 6 singles, some under different names, like Aziz Azmet Mogollar's singer) or Rifat Öncel.

"Along with Erkin Koray's Underground Quartet, Bunalim was the band that defined Turkish Underground music. They only cut three singles under heir own name, but also backed some of Turkey's top rock singers on their 'solo' recordings. Their legendary demos in English are lost. Their first single is garage-punk, their second is in a more Anatolian Rock style.

"Bunalimlar, an awesome heavy-acid ethno-rock group, 1969-1972. Their eight tracks, all in Turkish, start off with a couple tunes that come on like a heavier, wilder version of the Creation or the Troggs! Then they shift gears, re-focus their lysgeric energy, and begin adding Turkish elements to their heavy rock. The complexities keep stacking up and interweaving until the songs start to resemble the prog-like approach of Mogollar. But with heavy-rock format intact: bass lines looping thickly, medieval organ tones, Floyd-ish guitar solos, high-energy rock being tugged eastward by melancholy Middle-Eastern melodies."

After disbanding members of the band formed Ter, a (hard rock) band with Erkin Koray.

BY REQUEST: Dogfeet - Dogfeet (1970 UK Hard Psych Prog Rock)

VENENO RARO E DO BOM QUE VAI DE UMA PEGADA QUE VARIA ENTRE A PSICODELIA, HARD ROCK E PROGRESSIVO!! O ALBUM TEVE UMA EDIÇÃO DE APENAS 500 CÓPIAS E POR ISSO TEM SIDO PEÇA DE COLECIONADORES CHEGANDO A CUSTAR 500 LIBRAS AOS BRITÂNICOS!! ALTAMENTE RECOMENDÁVEL ESTE VENENO!! ABAIXO SEGUE UM TEXTO SOBRE O DISCO RETIRADO DA INTERNET!! PENA QUE NÃO LEMBRO A FONTE DESTE TEXTO PARA COLOCAR O ENDEREÇO, MAS SE ALGUÉM SOUBER...!!

Un disco excelente, a medio camino entre la psicodelia y el hard progresivo, que recuerda, en algunos tramos, tanto a Black Sabbath (algunos temas son verdaderamente oscuros) como a Wishbone Ash. Sin duda supone uno de los mejores logros del progresivo guitarrero de este periodo. La publicidad que hicieron en su momento hacía referencia a que seguía los pasos de Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, es decir, como una banda de blues rock. El disco fue editado en 1970 por Lava Records, y no fue reeditado hasta 1994, por Kissing Spell, en CD y LP con jugosos temas extra. El álbum tuvo una tirada de 500 ejemplares, por lo que a sido durante años pieza de coleccionismo (llegando a alcanzar las 500 libras por ejemplar). La verdad es que poco o nada se sabe de esta banda británica, salvo su formación: Dave Nicholls al bajo, Derek Perry a la batería, y Alan Pearse y Trevor Povey a las guitarras y voces. Se sabe también que se formó a finales los sesenta y que hacían white blues, aunque con los años y buen número de conciertos, su estilo se fue depurando. El álbum es vibrante: contundente sección rítmica, buenos solos de guitarra y unas dobles guitarras impresionantes que continuamente alternan riffs y juegos de guitarra, doblándose una y otra vez, unas voces delicadas con mucho eco, lo que beneficia las atmósferas oscuras. Las guitarras y las voces a veces recuerdan a los sonidos de la Costa Oeste californiana, y los ritmos son, de vez en cuando, muy progresivos, lo que hace del álbum una auténtica rareza y un manjar para aficionados al rock sin prejuicios.

No hay forma de iniciar un disco de una manera menos comercial que con un solo de batería. Y así comienza uno de los mejores temas de su época, ‘Mr. Sunshine’, con un solo de batería y percusión que se prolonga algo más de un minuto. Luego se añade el bajo (excelente Nicholls) y luego la guitarra con un riff muy hard psicodélico. El tema es una obra de arte, desde la melodía, pegadiza, a las voces, estupendas. Los riffs y el trabajo de guitarras son impresionantes, hasta el punto de que el tema se convierte en una jam que sirve como perfecto escaparate para unos solos de guitarra literalmente magníficos. El tema vuelve una y otra vez sobre el pegadizo tema principal, aunque alternado por continuos punteos e improvisaciones de guitarra. El bajo de Nicholls es verdaderamente indescriptible, de una categoría impresionante, e incluso, parece que está improvisando durante toda la canción. En total, más de 11 minutos de disfrute. A semejante joya le sigue la dramática ‘Armageddon’, un tema eminentemente psicodélico con una tétrica atmósfera y un excelente trabajo de toda la banda. las voces son, como en todo el álbum, delicadas, la batería está prodigiosa con un ritmo cabalgante e hipnótico, y las guitarras son un punto y aparte (tremendas dobles guitarras, que realizan unos juegos increíbles). Le sigue ‘Theme’, un tema muy breve que parece sacado de algún tema del mítico ‘Argus’ de Wishbone Ash. Más interés tiene ‘On The Road’, un tremendo blues rock cuyo comienzo recuerda a la impresionante versión que Savoy Brown hacía del clásico del blues ‘Louisiana Blues’. El tema es un blues rock, eso es claro, pero no a la vieja usanza, sino dominado por un matiz psicodélico que le da originalidad. De nuevo, un diez absoluto para las guitarras, con unos juegos indescriptibles, alternados por solos perfectos. ‘Now I Know’ es otro blues rock de tremendas guitarras, con voces y atmósfera muy oscuras, pero con un estribillo pegadizo y estupendo. La sección rítmica está increíble, y las guitarras, como de costumbre, dando una lección de dobles guitarras. Aquí los solos se alternan continuamente, para redondear uno de los indiscutibles pilares del disco. Para acabar, ‘For Mary’ es un delicado instrumental de dos minutos.

Tramline - Moves Of Vegetable Centuries (1969 UK Blues)

BOA BANDA DE BLUES ROCK COM PITADAS PROGRESSIVAS E HARDS E SEU SEGUNDO ALBUM!! O PRIMEIRO JÁ FOI POSTADO ANTERIORMENTE AQUI NO BLOG!! RIFFS DE GUITARRAS MUITO LEGAIS ERA A MARCA DA BANDA!! VENENO DO BOM E RECOMENDADO!!

The 2nd and final set by the hot young blues band signed to Chris Blackwell’s Island Records, originally released back in 1969. This album wasproduced by the late Guy Stevens and he suggested the unusual name, for which guitarist Micky Moody confesses he has no explanation [Stevens had also suggested such names as Procol Harum and Mott The Hoople, and so 'Moves Of Vegetable Centuries' was just another flight of Stevens’ fancy!]. The band was getting into its stride with the addition of sax player Ron Aspery and bass guitar virtuoso Colin Hodgkinson from progressive group Back Door. They add a boost to such performances as the Tramline version of Traffic's 'Pearly Queen' and the old Yardbirds/Billy Boy Arnold favourite 'I Wish You Would'. Here is R&B 60s-style with high energy and strong musicianship. Micky Moody describes the evolution and ultimate fate of the band in his interview for the CD liner notes.

Iron Maiden - Maiden Voyage (1969 UK Hard Rock Prog)

NÃO MEUS AMIGOS!! NÃO CONFUNDAM!! NÃO É O IRON MAIDEN AQUELE COMERCIAL DO STEVE HARRIS!! TRATA-SE DE OUTRA BANDA OBSCURA QUE FOI FORMADA ANTES COM O MESMO NOME MAS DE OUTRO ESTILO!! HARD ROCK, MAS MAIS PROGRESSIVO COM LEVES PITADAS PSICODÉLICAS E BEM MAIS TRABALHADO!! A BANDA FOI CRIADA NA CIDADE DE BOLTON, NA INGLATERRA, BEM ANTES DO IRON MAIDEN COMERCIAL!! DEPOIS DE UMA TURNÊ PELA AUTRALIA EM 1970 O VOCALISTA BARRY SKELLS DEIXOU A BANDA E A GRAVADORA GEMINI PERDEU AS MASTER TAPES DO ALBUM E SOMENTE EM 1998 SKEELS LIBEROU AS CÓPIAS QUE TINHA DAS MASTERS ORIGINAIS!! MUITO AZAR DOS CARAS, POIS POR DESORGANIZAÇÃO DA GRAVADORA SE FERRARAM E AINDA VIRAM ANOS DEPOIS O IRON MAIDEN DE STEVE HARRIS ESTOURAR COMERCIALMENTE E AINDA COM O MESMO NOME QUE ELES HAVIAM CRIADO HÁ VÁRIOS ANOS ATRÁS!! QUE AZARÃO MESMO!! UM BELO E RECOMENDÁVEL VENENO!! AS FAIXAS LIAR E RITUAL SÃO OBRAS PSICODÉLICA E HARDEIRAS!!

A banda foi formada em 1964, Essex, Inglaterra com os músicos - Barry Skeels (baixo e vocais), Steve Drewett (vocais e harmonica) , Chris Rose (Guitarra solo) e Alan hooker (batera. Em 1966 ocorre a primeira troca de músicos, passando para Steve Drewett (vocal/harmonica), Chris Rose (guitarra solo), Tom Loates (rhythm guitar), Stan Gillem (drums) e Barry Skeels (bass). Em 1968 Graham Esgrove (guitar) assume as guitarras.

Ainda em nova formação e a banda batizada inicialmente como Bum, conta com os seguintes músicos Steve Drewet (vocais & Harmonica), Trevor Thoms (guitarra/vocal), Barry Skells (baixo/vocais) e Paul Reynolds (bateria/vocais). Apresentaram-se em alguns pubs locais, conseguindo uma rápida repercussão e gravaram o compacto independente Ballad of Martha Kent / God of Darkness.

No final de 1968 a banda troca de nome para Iron Maiden, troca de baterista que passa a ser Steve Chapman e em 1969 assina um contrato de risco com a Gemini Records, lançando, em 1970, o compacto Falling / Ned Kelly que segue uma linha de som progressivo psicodélico e com guitarras mais pesadas e distorcidas. O contrato seria por 3 anos, caso o disco fosse bem sucedido e a banda realiza uma pequena turnê na Austrália.

A música Falling chama atenção, principalmente pelo seu baixo cavalgado e por alguns riffs de guitarras lembram uma certa banda de mesmo nome. Em 1970 o baterista Paul Reynolds retorna a banda e esta lança mais dois compactos: Liar / Ritual, CC Ryde / Plague.

A boa repercussão dos compactos faz com que a banda cresça no underground local, tendo aberto shows de grandes bandas como The Who e Amen Corner. Em 1972, antes da conclusão de seu primeiro LP, a banda, misteriosamente, encerra suas atividades.

A única coisa que se sabe, a respeito dos músicos, depois do fim da banda é que o guitarrista Trevor Thoms, passou pelo Hawkwind (?), aonde o baixista viria a ser justamente Lemmy Killmister e o baixista Barry Skells tocou em uma banda chamada Zions. Steve Harris, em sua biografia, conta que alguém com um inglês de sotaque diferente ligou para ele em 1976 e ameaça processá-lo por ele está usando este nome.

Em 1998 sai em CD a coletânea chamada Maiden Voyage pela gravadora Hi-note Music, que classificou a banda como “Archetypal Doom Metal”, contando com todos os compactos lançados, incluindo as musicas da época que a banda se chamava Bum. No encarte do CD, aparecem um contrato deles com a Gemini Records e alguns cartazes, assim como fotos e ingressos de shows, provando que eles surgiram antes do Iron Maiden atual.

Not the legendary wrinkly rockers, but an earlier band from Basildon. Recorded between 1969 and 1970, this - their debut album, is a classic piece of early doom metal progression featuring the spine chilling guitar of Trevor Thoms. Also includes the (at the time) longest single ever and two tracks by Bum!

A welcome reissue. Not the Iron Maiden, but a much more obscure and earlier outfit with the same name. The 'A' side to their sole 45 is a brilliant lengthy guitar-led piece with a solo well beyond the length of a 1970 single.They were known as Burn up until January 1970 and in March of the same year they toured Australia.

A BANDA TINHA UM MUSICO CONVIDADO CHAMADO "CY PAYNE" QUE ERA RESPONSÁVEL POR UM ARRANJO "BRASS", OU SEJA, INCLUSÃO DE SOPROS, E ISSO ERA O DIFERENCIAL DOS CARAS, POIS APESAR DE SEREM UMA BANDA DE HARD ROCK, ISSO DAVA AO SOM DA BANDA UM TOQUE SUTIL DE SOUL DA MOTOWN, UM GROOVE MAIS PESADO EU DIRIA!! APENAS 750 LPs FORAM DISTRIBUÍDOS ORIGINALMENTE E APENAS O CD DE RELANÇAMENTO AINDA SE PODE ENCONTRAR, APESAR QUE MESMO ESSE CD SEJA EXTREMAMENTE RARO!!

Reissue of 1973 heavy krautrock album played by English musicians, notable for their rip snortin use of brass elements to great effect.

Released on KUCKUCK in 1973.The only album from this English Heavyrock trio.CWT was one of the heaviest acts on KUCKUCK, which was also the home for bands like OUT OF FOCUS ,ARMAGEDDON(the German band) or MURPHY BLEND, but the label become famous for the records of IHRE KINDER . CWT have a guest musician named Cy Payne on this album, who is responsible for the Brass arrangements. It´s giving CWT a very special sound .

Beside the fantastic guitar and vocal work of Graham Jones ,the brass section gives their Heavyroch a Motown Soul touch, a real heavy groove.It makes "The Hundredweight" to an interesting album with some faster and softer points. But tracks like "Steam Roller" are devastating, filled with hardest riffing and rough vocals.I would compare CWT with bands like SIR LORD BALTIMORE or CACTUS ,they had the same class and they put their piece to basic HeavyBluesrock.There exists a re-release on KUCKUCK,limited to 750 LP´s and you can get a CD re-release, because the original is not easy to find.

REPOST: Sperrmull - Sperrmull (1973 German Psych Hardrock)

BEAUTIFUL POISON!! GREAT GERMAN BAND!! VENENASSO!! BANDA ALEMÃ DE PRIMEIRÍSSIMA LINHA!! ALBUM RARO E DIFÍCIL DE OBTER!! OS CARAS MISTURAVAM PSICODELIA, PROGRESSIVO E HARDROCK NUMA FUSÃO INCRÍVEL!! VENENO ALEMÃO DA MELHOR SAFRA!!

Official issue of killer '70s German space rock with English vocals. Tracks like "No Freak Out" and "Right Now" explode with acid guitar reverb mayhem. A classic slice of Kraut-rock and very rare on vinyl... Now in fold out Digipak with bonus tracks.

Sperrmull's only album has all the musical variety you'll ever desire from an early 70s German album - the jolly mandolin tune on "Me And My Girlfriend", Floydian effects on "No Freak Out", Deep Purple-like guitar and organ lines on "Rising Up" and powerful solo work with dynamic arrangements on "Right Now" (the longest track). The rest, "Land Of The Rocking Sun" and "Pat Casey", were more conventional rock songs, and could very well have been the A and B sides to a catchy single (but weren't!). The recordings were done at the Dierks Studio, Stommeln, produced by a certain Chazadu, surely a more famous character appearing under a pseudonym.

Long time lost krautrock classic delivering a dynamic, complex combination between fuzzy freak out improvisations (full of Hammond organs and catchy heavy guitar leads) & folk epic arrangements for the flute. They published only one album in 1970 in a rather anonymus way at D. Dierks's studio (for the Brain label in a very limited edition, lately re-published by Second battle). A very accomplished essay. Similar to (early) Deep Purple, Nosferatu and Rufus Zuphall.
Their album is one of the rarest of the whole Brain 1,000-series, mint originals selling for more than 250 DM. In 1989, a limited edition of 1,000 copies (on black Brain) was made available through the influence of Second Battle. This edition sold out quickly, so the album is once again hard to obtain.

Peter Schneider (organ, electric piano, synthesizer).

Coupla Prog - Edmundo Lopez (1970 German Prog Psych Fuzzion)

ULTIMA POSTAGEM DA SÉRIE DA BANDA ALEMÃ COUPLA PROG!! ESTE ALBUM TRATA-SE DE UMA GRAVAÇÃO PARA UMA OPERA CHAMADA "EDMUNDO LOPEZ" GRAVADO EM 1970 PELA BANDA!! APESAR DAS DIFICULDADES PARA A GRAVAÇÃO POR SER UM ESTUDIO DE RADIO SEM MUITAS FACILIDADES DE EDIÇÃO, ISSO EM NENHUM MOMENTO FICA VISÍVEL E COUPLA PROG ACABOU PRODUZINDO COM MAESTRIA A HISTÓRIA DA ÓPERA COM UM ROCK PROGRESSIVO TOCADO COM MUITA PAIXÃO E ALTA QUALIDADE!!

ESTA OPERA É UMA HISTÓRIA EMOCIONANTE SOBRE EDMUNDO LOPEZ UM NORTE AMERICANO QUE CEDO FOI PARA O FRONT DA GUERRA CIVIL, MAS QUE ERA UM FERRENHO DEFENSOR DA PAZ E A NÃO GUERRA, POR ISSO PRESSIONOU O EXÉRCITO, ESCAPOU, DEFENDEU-SE COM TODAS AS FORÇAS E ACABOU SENTENCIADO A MORTE PELO EXÉRCITO!!

AS MUSICAS SÃO PRATICAMENTE FUZZIONS, MAS A BASE É UM BLUESROCK PESADO, COM CLIMAS DE SUSPENSE, AS VEZES TEATRAL E DRAMÁTICO COMO A HISTÓRIA DE EDMUNDO, MAS SEMPRE COM OS ELEMENTOS TÍPICOS DO KRAUTROCK DA ÉPOCA!! A BANDA TEM UMA ENERGIA E A GRANDE POTENCIA DO SOM É O TRABALHO FANTÁSTICO DO ORGAN HAMMOND!! O HAMMOND TRABALHA PESADO MESMO!!

O GUITARRISTA E VOCALISTA "ROLF PETERS" QUE ESCREVE OS POEMAS LÍRICOS E É O CÉREBRO MUSICAL QUE ESTÁ POR TRÁS DA HOSTÓRIA DE EDMUNDO LOPEZ, MORREU EM 1971 AOS 21 ANOS DE UMA OVERDOSE DE COMPRIMIDOS PARA DORMIR E ÁLCOOL!!

GRANDE TRABALHO DA BANDA COUPLA PROG MUSICANDO ESTA MAGNÍFICA OPERA ROCK ALEMÃ!! RARÍSSIMO MATERIAL E MAIS UM ALBUM SURPREENDENTE DOS CARAS!!

On the 16.07.1970 Coupla Prog entered the radio studio to record their own opera "Edmundo Lopez".

The session would be a challenge as the piece was not just a bunch of songs mixed into each other but a continuous 60-minute opus with 11 different parts. As this was just a basic radio-recording studio with no facilities for overdubbing or editing it was to prove very difficult. It was decided to record the pop-opera in two parts: one approximately 25 minutes long other approximately 36.The difficulties arising from the session are not at all noticeable and Coupla Prog produced an almost perfect piece of underground and progressive rock history played with passion and very high quality.

This tragedy of music is a gripping story about Edmundo, a young south-american who gets between the lines of a civil war. Grown up and teached to non-violence he's pressed into the army, escapes, defends himself and others with a gun and finally is sentenced to death for that.The songs are blending into each other, basically Heavy Bluesrock similar to Vanilla Fudge for example, full of suspense, theatrical and dramatic in parts because of the story and also provided with typical freakish krautrock elements of that time. The band's strength is without a doubt the amazing Hammond drenched keyboard work.

Guitarist and singer Rolf Peters, who writes the lyrics and is the musical brain behind the story of Edmundo Lopez, died in 1971 at the age of 21 from an overdose of sleeping pills and alcohol. This was not a surprise to those who knew him. A newspaper article from the time compared him to Dylan Thomas if he'd lived longer and had more time to develop his creative talent.

Outlaw Blues Band - The Outlaw Blues Band (1968 US Blues Prog Psych)

EXCELENTE E OBSCURA BANDA DE BLUES QUE DECIDIU SE CHAMAR OUTLAW (FORA DA LEI) POR CAUSA DE SUA MUSICA CONSIDERADA NADA CONVENCIONAL EM 1968!! O SOM DOS CARAS, APESAR DE SER UMA BANDA DE BLUES, ERA BEM PROGRESSIVA PARA OS PADRÕES DA ÉPOCA EM QUE GRAVARAM ESTE SEU PRIMEIRO ALBUM, ALÉM DE CONTER ALTAS PITADAS DE PSICODELISMO!! A VERSÃO QUE FIZERAM PARA A MUSICA "TOBACO ROAD" ERA COMPLETAMENTE INCOMUM!! UMA OBRA!! ERA UMA BANDA A FRENTE DE SEU TEMPO!! VENENOS RARÍSSIMO E EXCELENTE!!

The Outlaw Blues Band decided to call themselves outlaws because of their self-proclaimed unconventional music. This is how they referred to rock music of the day-"It’s a 4/4 tempo that’s still rocking in its chair, not as a lady, but as a wench that shook up the historical path of music." They stated in the album liner notes that they created the song "Death Dog Of Doom" in 6/8 tempo, thus making them a progressive band.
I agree that their sound is very progressive for the time that they recorded this album (1968). Being an avid electric blues lover myself, I found this LP very easy to appreciate. "Two ‘Tranes Running" is most likely a dedication to John Coltrane. It sounds very much like free form progressive jazz. Possibly this is what Coltrane would have sounded like if a clone of him were playing in the same room. This is only a hypothesis of what I heard; others may have an entirely different interpretation than I. Their version of "Tobacco Road" was quite unusual. I had never heard the song done this way. I knew I was in for a ride when that song played through.
This group was far ahead of its time. They were to make one more album, "Breaking In", in 1969. And that was the end of this out of the ordinary group. It’s to bad it couldn’t have lasted longer. I would have been very interesting to see how things developed over the course of a few more albums.

Red Dirt - Red Dirt (1970 UK Hard Blues Rock)

CARAMBA DE SOM!! GRANDE DISCO DE BLUES PSYCH DESSA BANDA OBSCURA BRITÂNICA DA QUAL NÃO TENHO MUITAS INFORMAÇÕES!! O QUE POSSO DIZER É QUE A BASE DO SOM DOS CARAS É HARD BLUES ROCK DE ALTA QUALIDADE!! VENENASSO RARO E MUITO BOM!! TIRAGEM DE APENAS 300 CÓPIAS DESSE ALBUM!!

Red Dirt were a British heavy blues-rock band, whose sole eponymous album appeared and disappeared again in 1970, leaving little impression on the record-buying public. The reason for this, unlike some other unfairly obscure efforts, is that it's dull and generic and completely unable to provide anything not already catered for by many far better bands. Surprisingly, there's Mellotron (player unknown) on opener Memories (also the album's least generic track), with fairly heavy MkII strings, although that appears to be it.Oddly, the bonus tracks on Audio Archives' CD issue, Red Dirt... Plus, are more interesting then the contents of the album itself. The first two, Mixed Blessing and Wilting Tree, are long, slow, dark pieces, a long way from the blues, while Three Fair Maidens and Back Alley Sally are fiddle-driven country hoedowns. So; you're only really going to like Red Dirt if you're into early, grungy blues-rock, but the opening track and at least the first two bonus ones are worth hearing, though not necessarily buying.

Ardo Dombec - Ardo Dombec (1971 German Hard Rock Prog Jazz Fusion)

EXCELENTE BANDA DE ROCK PROGRESSIVO ALEMÃO FORMADA LÁ NO INÍCIO DOS ANOS 70 E QUE SÓ PRODUZIU UM ALBUM MUITO LEGAL, NUM ESTILO QUE DARIA PRA DEFINIR COMO UM HEAVY BLUES COM PITADAS DE JAZZ!! NUMA COMPARAÇÃO EU DIRIA QUE SE ASSEMELHA MUITO COM A BANDA COLOSSEUM, PRINCIPALMENTE SE LEVARMOS EM CONTA O USO CONSTANTE DE SAXOFONE, E QUE SAX, UM SAX PESADO, RASGANTE, E ISSO COMBINADO COM GUITARRA ELETRICA E FLAUTA,FAZEM DO SOM DA ARDO DOMBEC VERDADEIRAMENTE GENIAL!! AS SESSÕES INSTRUMENTAIS DOS CARAS SÃO UMA OBRA!! VENENO ALEMÃO ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO!!

Ardo Dombec were in the category of early 70s German underground bands. They differ from other folk-blues-fusion-hard rock bands of the same era by the presence of omnipresent visceral saxophone arrangements that remain pretty structured, sometimes reminding the Dutch fusion band Solution.

The drums and bass are often very fast, rhythmic and complex, flirting with fusion elements, and reminding the early Camel without the keyboards. Many flute parts a la Jethro Tull, Focus and even Camel add some interesting variety; the track with the very pleasant visceral harmonica exhibition also shows how versatile the members can be. The music is quite addictive, disciplined and structured. Some catchy tracks, combined with the typical lead vocals, can even slightly remind the listener a sophisticated Elvis Presley!

The opener "Spectaculum" and the closer "Unchangeable Things?!" are both full of energy and quirky sax-riffs. And "108" is a very nice and atmospheric instrumental, consisting of flute and acoustic guitar only. "Clean-Up Sunday" is definitely a highlight, featuring lots of Tull-ish flute, complete with chord-changes and several good riffs and melodies. (Review from progarchives.com)

Extremely Accomplished Debut from this Massachusetts Band, Originally Released in the Us on RCA. Following the Eponymous Album’s Success, the Band Toured Extensively as the Opening Act for the Allman Brothers. Fat ’s Mix of East Coast Blues and West Coast Psychedelia, Strongly Influenced by Quicksilver Messenger Service Et Al, Could have Propelled the Band Into the Big Time, but an Unfortunate Drug Bust Led RCA to Cancel a Planned Follow-up Album, and Try as They Might, the Group were Unable to Secure Another Recording Contract, Although Two Further Albums were Released in the Late ‘70s, Both of which were Produced by Ex-mountain Man, Felix Papallardi. Over the Years Fat Toured with a Host of Rock Luminaries, Sharing the Stage With, Amongst Others, Grand Funk Railroad, Little Richard, Bonnie and Delaney, Johnny Winter and Robin Trower, but Unfortunately their Success as a Live Band Didn’t Translate Into Commercial Success.

Samurai - Samurai "Ex Web"(1971 UK Prog Rock)

SAMURAI É A CONTINUAÇÃO DA BANDA "THE WEB" AQUELA MESMA DOS FAMOSOS E ÓTIMOS ALBUNS "I SPIDER(1970)", "FULLY INTERLOCKING(1968)" E "THERAPHOSA BLONDI(1970)"!! SAMURAI FAZIA UM ROCK PROGRESSIVO COM ELEMENTOS SUTIS DE JAZZ MUITO LEGAL, USANDO CLARINETE, FLAUTA, SAX, TECLADOS E PIANOS ACUSTICO E ELÉTRICO!! AS DUAS PERCUSSÕES QUE OS CARAS USAVAM DÃO UM CLIMA TODO ESPECIAL AO SOM CUJAS MELODIAS SÃO EXCELENTES!! NA SUA FORMAÇÃO TINHA EX-INTEGRANTES DA BANDA "COLOSSEUM" DAVE GREENSLADE E TONY REEVES, EX-INTEGRANTE DAS BANDAS "KINK CRIMSON" E "FIELDS" ANDY McCULLOCH VENENO RARÍSSIMO E ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO!!

Samurai was previously known as Web. Web released three albums, Fully Interlocking (1968), Theraphosa Blondi (1970), and I Spider (1970). The first two featured American singer John L. Watson, and were released on Deram. I Spider was released on Polydor and Watson was replaced by future Greenslade vocalist/keyboardist Dave Lawson. The Deram albums are said to be more pop/psychedelic offerings, but I've not heard them (a little hard to come by and apparently neither reissued on CD).

I Spider is considered the best and where Web's reputation in progressive rock circles rests on. But for some odd reason, when Tom Harris left and they brought in two new wind players, Tony Roberts and Don Fay, they were now called Samurai. Legal reasons? Did Tom Harris have the
rights to the Web name? I really can't say, since finding info on bands like this is often very difficult to come by.

Once Web became Samurai, the band was no longer recording for Polydor, but for a far more obscure label, Greenwich. Finding an original LP these days, of course, is practically, forget it, find the CD reissue (Akarma in Italy had most recently reissued it). Honestly I really think Samurai is by and far the finest album Dave Lawson ever played in. I even highly recommend this to those who aren't much for Greenslade. Greenslade's music could end up as cheesy at times to some listeners, Samurai avoided all of Greenslade's cheesy-tendencies. Let's not forget Dave Lawson's voice. On those Greenslade albums his singing was often high pitched and strained, here he has a much more pleasant voice in Samurai which really fits the style of music just great.

I'm sure you might detect some of that future Greenslade, but you don't have Dave Greenslade's keyboard style, and you also get treated with vibraphone and various wind instruments (saxes, mainly) and nice organ work throughout. This is early '70s, where many progressive rock bands were still making song-based material, and Samurai was one of them. In fact, I really think the reason progressive rock got such a bad reputation later on was many people felt too many bands abandoned writing great songs in place of showing off their instrumental abilities and how complex they can make their music.

I really think this group could've ended up being better known were it not for the label they were on. It's hard for me to describe the album on a song to song basis, but I'll pick out some of my favorites. "More Rain" is a nice, laid-back piece with nice use of flute. I really like the acoustic passages too. I get reminded a bit of Jade Warrior here. "Maudie James" and "Holy Padlock" are just plain great catchy songs, while "Give a Little Love" has a more aggressive edge. I really like the sax and organ work. "Face in the Mirror" is one of those songs that really grew on me big time, I really like the mellow nature of this song. "As I Dried the Tears Away" is a wonderful, epic closing piece with some great creative passages to go with it.

Samurai broke up after this album. No surprise given they recorded for such a short-lived and obscure label as Greenwich, and probably no longer had the finances to continue one. But that didn't stop Dave Lawson. Ex-Colosseum members Dave Greenslade and Tony Reeves, with ex-King Crimson and Fields drummer Andy McCulloch brought in Dave Lawson to form Greenslade, who managed four albums between 1973 and 1975, before throwing in the towel at the right time (just right before punk rock came in).

Samurai is truly another great, lost gem of early British progressive rock. I really like the jazzy feel that goes with it, and this is one progressive rock album you can't call "pretentious" (and we all know every prog rock detractor out there calls this kind of music "pretentious"). It's nothing but a collection of great songs with interesting use of instruments (organ, wind instruments, and the way the vibraphone is integrated in the music, rather than using it during jazzy solos like many other bands did at the time). I really highly recommend this album!

REPOST: Second Life - Second Life (1971 German Hard Rock Bluesy)

HIGH RARIITY AND WONDERFUL BAND!! ALTA RARIDADE DESTA EXCELENTE BANDA ALEMÃ QUE CERTAMENTE SE INSPIROU EM "JIMI HENDRIX" E "TEN YEARS AFTER"!! OS CARAS GRAVARAM ESTA PÉROLA E EM 1972 MUDARAM O NOME PARA "TIGER B. SMITH" E COM ESTE NOME GRAVARAM MAIS DOIS DISCOS QUE CONSIDERO INFERIOR A ESTE!! EXCELENTE VENENO E ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO PRA QUEM GOSTA DE UMA BOA RARIDADE E PRINCIPALMENTE PARA OS ENVENENADOS QUE GOSTAM DESTE ESTILO!!

Second Life's (same line-up as Tiger B. Smith) one and only album as a "no compromise" hard rock masterpiece, especially due to it's self-titled opener, a varied opus of twenty minutes consisting of floating acoustic parts, powerful moments and expanded instrumental soli. Digipak reissue in perfect sound quality. heavy blues-progressive power trio. They recorded (in Windrose Studios, Hamburg) one interesting, self-titled album for Metronome in 1971. Best cut was the 20 minute long suite "Second Life".

It started as a folky, acoustic song, building into a heavy guitar solo section similar to Jimi Hendrix or Ten Years After followed by a long drum solo. Side two had four fine hard rock songs. Second Life's album is now very rare, fetching prices in excess of 150 DEM. After more than twenty years, the cover lamination is peeling off on every copy I have ever seen, so don't expect to find a mint cover even if you're lucky enough to trace the record! In 1972 the group changed their name to Tiger B. Smith and recorded two inferior albums for Vertigo and Bacillus.
