Big Brother and the Holding Company is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1965 as part of the psychedelic music scene that also produced the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Jefferson Airplane. The original members of the band were Sam Andrew (lead guitar) and James Gurley on guitars, Peter Albin on bass and Chuck Jones (no relation to the animator) on drums, who was replaced by Dave Getz in 1966.

The group increased in popularity with the addition in June 1966 of lead singer Janis Joplin. She was recruited by the band's manager at the time, Chet Helms, who had previously lived in Austin, Texas, where Joplin attended college. The group also benefited greatly from the fact that Helms had recently founded the renowned San Francisco concert promotions company Family Dog Productions. In 1967, the band released their self titled debut album Big Brother and the
Holding Company which was moderately successful on the charts.

It has righteously ranked my ass to see the shabby treatment accorded Big Brother and the Holding Company over the ourse of the past four years. In the days when the name of Janis Joplin was fastened to every lip, Big Brother were referred to as "the boys in the band" (that is, if they were referred to at all). And when they returned from the dead with a splendid album last year (Be A Brother, Columbia C-30222), everyone tripped over their tongues crediting the triumph to Nick Gravenites. Well, friends, the day of reckoning is finally here: Big Brother has a new album and, with no help from anybody, prove once and for all that they are a whale of a rock and roll band.

They do get a bit of assistance from some selected friends–Mike Finnegan on keyboards, David Schallock (a former member of the band) on guitar, and old Nick even takes a vocal–but the success of this album rests squarely on the shoulders of the band itself. Sam Andrew, whose singing has always been on the unruly side, is exhibiting some healthy vocal discipline. His guitar playing is perfect for the band, while Peter Albin (the band's original bassist) has secured himself very nicely in the second guitar slot. Former lead guitarist James Gurley (a native Detroiter, his bizarre leads were the recorded precursor of a whole lotta Motor City musical madness) has grasped the bass, and David Getz' drumming with particular regard to his cymbal work) is now the glue that holds the band together.

The title of "Nu Boogaloo Jam" makes obvious reference to a Marin County jam band (staffed partly by some Big Brother people) called the Nu Boogaloo Express, and this defines pretty well the essence of Big Brother: a slightly raunchy, definitely maniacal band of rock and roll desperados who seem to always be having a good time regardless of the situation. "Nu Boogaloo Jam" is the kind of corrugated, ass-tight funk that one can all too seldom locate outside of a few
choice bars these lean days, and much of the album leans in this direction. "How Hard It Is," "Shine On," "House On Fire" and "You've Been Talkin' 'Bout Me Baby" all fall into this broad category. It is strongly guitar-oriented material, with a joy in basic rhythm that would seem to suggest a soulful influence filtered through a little acid and a lot of tequila. (They even throw in a little juke-joint organ to padlock the point.) Everything falls together best on "You've Been Talkin'," with its fine guitar and an organ which forces the flow of the chorus and fills out the sound superbly.

If you can get past an introduction like "You are my queen of the Nile," then you'll find "Black Widow Spider" to be an excellent change-of-pace ballad. It features fine use of three interwoven guitar figures and some hot vocal work from Kathy McDonald (who is, thank God for small miracles, not Clydie King, Vanetta Fields or Rita Coolidge). And when you realize that a black widow spider is "the one who kills her mate," the song resolves itself lyrically as well.

As for the album's three instrumentals. "Last Band On Side One" could easily have made a fine backdrop for a European travelogue, but stands clearly out of musical context here. "Promise Her Anything" is nice enough, a simple David Schallock exercise in meter dynamics, but doesn't pack an overly powerful punch. They are right on target with "Maui," however, a song that conveys precise images with some expertly co-ordinated guitar and clear-cutting cymbals.

"Buried Alive In The Blues" is a good Nick Gravenites tune, but simply by that it is not really a Big Brother song at all. Nick wrote it, he sings it, and the horn licks which dominate it are distinctly of his doing. Horns also pop up on "Nu Boogaloo Jam," but I fail to see what function they serve. The brass (and even the organ in most instances) are unnecessary, for Big Brother is fully capable of developing such extraneous passages within the existing framework of the band. This would also serve to effectively stifle any possible alibis which their detractors might arm themselves with.

The pen and ink portrait of the group which graces the cover of How Hard It is is as striking as the music on the inside, except that the darkened visages makes the band seem faceless. And there are few bands working today who can display a better-defined or pleasing personality than Big Brother. Peter Wolf likes to say that "it's time to get crazy, baby," and I'm sure that among the first in line to second that statement would be Big Brother and the Holding Company. (RS 92)

Pulse - Pulse (1969 US Hard Psych Bluesy Rock)

PULSE ERA UMA BANDA MUITO LOUCA!! OS CARAS FAZIAM UM SOM QUE IA DO HARD ROCK, BLUES E PSICODELISMO DE UMA FORMA IMPRESSIONANTE!! A GUITARRA DE PETER NERI ERA MUITO BOA E TÁ AÍ MAIS UM BOM GUITARRISTA DESCONHECIDO DA ÉPOCA!! QUEM GOSTA DE BLUES É UMA BOA PEDIDA, POIS A BANDA FAZ MUITO SOM NO ESTILO AO LONGO DO DISCO!! E SÃO BLUES DE PRIMEIRÍSSIMA LINHA!! NO MAIS, O DISCO É UMA PATADA!!

Tommy Violante left in 1969, although the band soldiered on until '72, playing mostly rehashed Cream-type stuff. Pulse (originally named "The Pulse of Burritt Bradley," after a name they saw on a grave stone) released two singles: "Can Can Girl" / "Burritt Bradley" and "My Old Boy" / "Another Woman". Pulse initially included Augusto, Violante, Bennett Segal (drums), Peter Neri (lead guitar), Richard "Sno Whyte" Bednarzcyk (organ), and Paul Rosanno and Lance Gardner both playing bass. The group honed their skills for almost a year just jamming in the studio, but by the time their first album was released both Violante and Gardner had departed. The self-titled LP Pulse was a real accomplishment. Not only was the playing and songwriting solid, the heavy style and complex arrangements seem a few years ahead of their time.

Blue Cheer - Blue Cheer (1969 US Psycho Rock)

ESTA POSTAGEM NÃO É NENHUMA RARIDADE, TRATA-SE APENAS DE UMA HOMENAGEM A ESTE DISCO E ESTA BOA BANDA AMERICANA JÁ CONHECIDA PELA MAIORIA DOS APRECIADORES DE SOM DOS ANOS 60-70!! CONSIDERADA POR MUITOS COMO A PRIMEIRA BANDA DE ROCK PESADO DA HISTÓRIA, PRINCIPALMENTE EM SEU PRIMEIRO ÁLBUM, O BLUE CHEER LANÇOU ESSE VENENO COM UM ESTILO MAIS MELÓDICO, UM ROCK MAIS SUAVE E QUE PRA MIM RESULTOU NUM DE SEUS MELHORES TRABALHOS, JUNTAMENTE COM SEU DISCO POSTERIOR "ORIGINAL HUMAN BEING", O QUAL POSTAREI MAIS ADIANTE!! ESTE É O QUARTO ALBUM DA BANDA!! VALE A PENA O REGISTRO E, PRA QUEM NÃO CONHECE AINDA, VALE BAIXAR ESTE VENENO!! É SOM DE PRIMEIRA LINHA!!

Info:

Blue Cheer, the fourth album, is the perpetual group in transition once again rolling with the punches. A vast improvement over New! Improved! Blue Cheer, the sound here is more contained, consistent, and identifiable. Rather than cover Eddie Cochran, as they did with their hit "Summertime Blues" off Vincebus Eruptum, the outside material is tellingly by Delaney Bramlett and MacDavis, a wonderfully laid-back "Hello L.A., Bye-Bye Birmingham." By this time they were sounding more like the Band than the first disc's monstrous musical onslaught, which resembled a naïve Cream or precursor to Grand Funk.

Bruce Stephens decided to exit during this recording, but that didn't hamper things the way some of the New! Improved! Blue Cheer record suffered. Stephens' vocal performances are placed right in the middle of everything, tracks two and four on side A, tracks two and four on side B, he writing or co-writing three of the titles, and doing a fine job singing on keyboard player Ralph Burns Kellogg's "Better When We Try." The trading of vocals between founding member Dickie Peterson, who handles the other six titles, was a plus for this group, and as songwriter Gary Yoder contributed the opening and closing tracks, "Fool" and "The Same Old Story," his presence would make itself more valuable when he became guitarist on B.C.#5: The Original Human Being. Bruce Stephens' "Saturday Freedom" is a delicious slice of psychedelic blues and the more musical direction this aggregation was seeking began to really develop on Blue Cheer, this fourth chapter in their storied career.

Positioned to be a major cult phenom, these albums represent a unique vision different from Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Steve Miller Band, the Jefferson Airplane, and other California musicians, though elements of all find their way into the grooves. "Ain't That the Way (Love's Supposed to Be)" is an absolute West Coast rave up, showing Peterson in complete control of his project, no matter how many stones were fired at them.

His other two compositions, "Natural Man" and "Rock and Roll Queens," have a groove and are entertaining. While Mott the Hoople was mixing grunge and hard rock with their "Rock & Roll Queen," this band from the other side of the world put a different spin on the same topic, utilizing pretty much the same title. Peterson may have not been the personality that Ian Hunter is, and Blue Cheer never reached the point of performing on Broadway as Mott with Ian did, but Blue Cheer shows creative flashes that puts them in league with other innovators, and makes the band truly worth studying.

RE-POST: Edens Children - Selftitled & 2nd Album (US Psychrock 1968)

POSTEI ESTE ALBUM DE NOVO A PEDIDO DE CONSUMIDORES ENVENENADOS: ESTE VENENO É MAIS LEVE, COM UMA SONORIDADE QUE BEIRA UM PSYCH POP COM UM EFEITO ALTAMENTE AGRADÁVEL!! UM DISCO ÓTIMO DE ESCUTAR, TRANQUILO E SEM FRESCURAS, MÚSICAS SIMPLES MAS DE QUALIDADE!! UM CD COM OS DOIS PRIMEIROS E ÚNICOS DISCOS DA BANDA!! OS DOIS SÃO BONS MAS MELHORA MAIS AINDA A PARTIR DO SEGUNDO!! ALBUM DIFÍCIL DE ENCONTRAR!! RARO!!

Boston's answer to Blue Cheer, this album is a guilty pleasure. Most of the songs are little more than excuses to turn up the dials and just riff ("Knocked Out", "If She's Right", "Don't Tell Me"), and sometimes, they're beyond apology ("Stone Fox"), but the spirit of the trio is infectious. If the album had a little more variation (as on the raga-inspired "Just Let Go", or the lone ballad "Goodbye, Girl"), it might have made more of an impact. Despite what some sources will tell you, this isn't garbage, even if most of it is just amplified fluff.

some info:

BO GRUMPUS was formed in Boston in 1967 .In the spring of 1968, Before The War was issued on the Atco label. A couple of tracks were engineered by Chris Houston, former member of The Undertakers. Felix said that the roots to his rock group, Mountain, can be traced to this recording. When Bell Records approached Felix with an offer for him to produce a record, he wanted Bo Grumpus to be the band. The problem was, The Richmond Organization (the group’s publishing company) owned the rights to the name Bo Grumpus being used for a musical group. That meant another name change.

Tramline - Somewhere Down the Line (1968 UK Rock Blues)

TRAMLINE ERA UM QUARTETO QUE FAZIA UM SOM BASEADO NO ROCK N'BLUES MUITO PODEROSO E DE QUALIDADE!! VENENO BOM E ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO PRA QUEM GOSTA DE UM BOM BLUES ROCK!!

Formed by:

John McCoy (vocals, harmonica)

Mick Moody (guitar)

Terry Sidgwick (bass, vocals)

Terry Popple (drums)

Chris Blackwell plucked them from the club scene in 1968 and signed them to Island Records, whence they began work on their debut LP, Somewhere Down the Line (with Blackwell producing). The band made enough worthwhile noise to get some exposure on the BBC's Top Gear, hosted by John Peel, but the album never sold in large numbers. Island wasn't done with them, however, and in 1969 a second LP, Moves of Vegetable Centuries, was forthcoming, this time produced by the renowned Guy Stevens and emphasizing Moody's guitar in the mix.

It didn't do any better than the first album, however, although one cut off the album, a cover of Traffic's "Pearly Queen," got a lot of exposure to the underground press and in prog rock circles when it earned a place on the Island sampler album You Can All Join In. The group had split by 1970, with McCoy and Sidgwick evidently leaving music behind while Moody passed through Juicy Lucy and Snafu before achieving huge success with Whitesnake; Popple tagged along for a time in Snafu, as well as working with Matthew Fisher and Alan Hull, and passed through the lineup of Radiator.

Info:

Rare private press from 1975 by this buch of dudes from California who made a rural rock album in the style of Dead meets the Eagles variety.The opening title track has a beautiful psychy lead guitar hook and great melody throughout.This is mellow country rock with great steel guitars and the appropriate tuneful vocals,with the occasional fuzz guitar putting in a welcome appearance. Back in 1975, a bunch of dudes from Boulder Creek, California, found themselves in a recording studio and decided to make a rural rock album of a sort of Dead-meets-Eagles variety.

The result, Hellbound Highway, an obscure private pressing made its appearance on Renegade Records the same year, but as only about 100 copies were pressed, very few have experienced the delights of this laidback recording. Some of the songs are terrific, particularly the opener and title track, with its psychy lead guitar hook, a clever twist in the chorus and a great melody, and the side-closers are both outstanding. In between, we're treated to some mellow country rock of the Outlaws variety, with some excellent steel guitar and some highly appropriate and surprisingly tuneful vocals, and the occasional fuzz guitar putting in a welcome appearance.

VENENO LEGAL E RARO!! PSICODELIA E OUTROS!!

In the late 60’s the USA Psychedelic/Proto Prog movement was full of great artists ahead of their time but the band that pioneered the fusion of Rock, Classical, Folk and Jazz was a modest group of kids from Los Angeles called SWEETWATER.

They didn’t just limited to hiring a Symphony Orchestra to enhance the music, instead they were one of the first USA bands to include Cello, flute and Congas to the usual rock instruments, having a lineup of eight official members (plus guests), something pretty unusual for 1968.
It’s unclear if they joined in 1967 or 1968, but due to the excellent voice of Nansi Nevins plus the absolutely innovative and eclectic blend of influences in their music they were immediately recruited by Warner Reprise and released their self titled debut album “Sweetwater”.

This LP was ahead of their time, the killer keyboards of Alex Delzoppo were efficiently backgrounded by the unusual (for that moment) flute of Albert Moore, Cello by August Burns and Conga of the amazing Elpidio Cobian plus the usual instruments of a Rock band.

“Sweetwater” was a moderate success, most probably too advanced for the moment but it allowed the band to be invited as the first group to play in Woodstock. After the popularity gained in the festival, heaven was the limit and they returned to the studio where they recorded their second album “Just for You” being the title song a 10 minutes epic that blended all the influences of the band.

This R&B based rock outfit was the launching pad for the careers of Elkle Brooks and Robert Palmer. Formed with much encouragement from Island Records boss Chris Blackwell, it rose from the ashes of short-lived jazz-rock combo Dada. Robert Palmer had previously sung with Alan Bown; Elkie Brooks had previously had an unsuccessful solo career and Gage had been with The Zephyrs and then Geno Washington and The Ram Jam Band. Their gutsy musical style ensured they were a popular live attraction, but although their records were solid enough they had difficulty translating their live sound onto vinyl. They split up late in 1973 and Palmer and Brooks both went on to successful solo careers.

FRUMPY - Best of (German Rock Prog)

POWERFUL VOCAL FEMALE - NUMBER ONE!! INGA RUMPF IT WAS ONE OF THE VOCAL POISONS OF THE TIME!! SHE WAS CONSIDERED JANIS JOPLIN Of GERMANY!! LATER IT COMES MORE OTHER EXCELLENT FEMININE VOCALISTAS OF THE HISTORY OF THE ROCK!!

ESTA POSTAGEM SE DEVE A UMA INDAGAÇÃO DO MEU AMIGO PAULÃO, LÁ DA CIDADE DE LONDRINA NO ESTADO DO PARANÁ!! ELE ME PERGUNTOU SE NÃO TINHA ALGUM VENENO ONDE TIVESSE UM POTENTE VOCAL FEMININO!! TÁ AÍ UMA PRIMEIRA AMOSTRA DE COMO AS DONZELAS SENHORA DOS ANOS 60-70 SE COMPORTAVAM!! DEPOIS VEM MAIS UMAS TRÊS NA SEQUÊNCIA!! A VOCALISTA DESTA ÓTIMA BANDA FRUMPY, INGA RUMPF, ERA CONSIDERADA A JANIS JOPLIN DA ALEMANHA!! O VOCAL REALMENTE ERA PODEROSO, APESAR DE EU ACHAR A JANIS IMBATÍVEL, MAS COMO JANIS JÁ TEVE SEU MERECIDO RECONHECIMENTO DUARANTE DÉCADAS, DEVO ENALTECER A VOZ DESTA MALUCA VOCALISTA DO FRUMPY E DIZER QUE ELA ERA UM DOS VENENOS VOCAIS DA ÉPOCA, MEU AMIGO PAULÃO E CONSUMIDORES!! O SOM DA BANDA TAMBÉM ERA MUITO LEGAL!! CONFIRAM E VEJAM QUE ROCK PROG DE EXCELÊNCIA NESTA COLETÂNEA ONDE ESTÃO ALGUNS DOS MELHORES SONS DA BANDA E QUE SERVEM DE BASE PRA QUEM AINDA NÃO CONHECE!!

The four musicians who formed FRUMPY were all members of Irishman O' Brian-Docker's folkband The City Preachers, which he founded in Hamburg in 1965. The City Preachers played an excellent blend of American and British folk music and had, sometimes, over a dozen people on stage. Discontent with singer Dagmar Krause, drummer Carsten Bohn left the City Preachers in November 1969 and took singer Inga Rumpf, French keyboarder Jean-Jacques Kravetz and guitarist Karl-Heinz Schott with him to form FRUMPY. In spring of 1970, FRUMPY started a successful tour of France. The same year, they went on a 50 concert tour with SPOOKY TOOTH, and played with YES, HUMBLE PIE and RENAISSANCE. In autumn of 1970, FRUMPY released the first album "All Will Be Changed" which contained only own material with the exception of a Richie Havens cover.

The Following year guitarist Rainer Baumann joined FRUMPY and played on the bands second LP "Frumpy 2", which was rapped in a round plastic bag. In Germany, the album was well received and proved that rock music from Germany could live up to international standard. Their music combines jazz, soul and eastern elements with the keyboards as the most important instrument. FRUMPY topped the Musik Express poll as the most popular German rock group of the year and the newspaper FAZ assisted singer Inga Rumpf to be "the country's biggest individual talent", but a tour of England with MOTT THE HOOPLE failed to attract popularity in Britain.

Musical differences with keyboarder Kravetz caused him to leave FRUMPY, in spring 1972, to record a solo Lp with Inga Rumpf singing one song. But he returned for the recording sessions of FRUMPY's third LP "By The Way". But FRUMPY disbanded after a farewell concert on June 26, 1972. Inga Rumpf, Jean-Jacques Kravetz and Karl-Heinz Schott formed ATLANTIS. The year 1990 saw a FRUMPY reunio and a new LP "Now!".

Love Sculpture - Blues Helping/Form and Feelings (1968-1969 UK Blues Rock Prog Psych)

DOIS VENENOS NUM FRASCO SÓ!! OS DOIS PRIMEIROS DISCOS DA BANDA DO DAVID EDMUNDS!! O PRIMEIRO, BLUES HELPING, É MAIS PROG PSYCH, E O SEGUNDO DISCO, FORM AND FEELINGS, É MAIS BLUES ROCK PSYCH!! VENENOS ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADOS PRA QUEM GOSTA DE UM BOM BLUES PSYCH!!

Love Sculpture formed in Cardiff in 1966 out of the remnants of another local band called The Human Beans, and disbanded in 1970, although Edmunds went on to enjoy solo success in the 1970s. The band itself was essentially a showpiece for Edmunds' considerable technical ability on the guitar. Love Sculpture mostly performed blues standards, slightly revved-up, but still largely reverent to the originals, releasing their debut album, Blues Helping with such songs as "Summertime", "Wang Dang Doodle" etc.

They are best known for their 1968 novelty hit in the UK Singles Chart, a high speed cover version of the classical piece "Sabre Dance", by Aram Khachaturian, released on the Parlophone label (R 5744). The recording was inspired by Keith Emerson's classical rearrangements.[3] "Sabre Dance" became a hit after garnering the enthusiastic attention of British DJ John Peel.[3]
This was followed by a second album Forms and Feelings, with songs including: "In The Land of the Few", "Farandole", "People People", "Seagull" and the equally fast cover of Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me".

They recorded three times for BBC Radio 1's John Peel sessions in 1968 (twice) and 1969.[4]
Love Sculpture split up after a U.S. tour, having recorded two albums. Edmunds shortly went on to further number one hit success with "I Hear You Knocking", and collaborated heavily with ex-Brinsley Schwarz bassist Nick Lowe, eventually forming the band Rockpile with him.

Impala Syndrome - Impala Syndrome (1969 Venezuela Psych Rock)

IMPRESIONANTE VENENO VENEZUELANO!! FORAM OS PIONEIROS DO ROCK NESTE PAÍS!! COM VOCAIS EM INGLÊS FAZIAM UM ROCK PSICODÉLICO DE DAR INVEJA E SEM DEIXAR NADA A DESEJAR PRA NENHUM BRITÂNICO OU AMERICANO!! ACREDITEM ESTE DISCO É PSICODELIA PURA E DE PRIMEIRA LINHA FEITO POR VENEZUELANOS!! EXCELENTE DISCO E ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO PRA QUE GOSTA DE BOM ROCK PSYCH!!

Originally from Venezuela, where they were known as Los Impala, this group relocated to Madrid, Spain in 1965. After a few months, their singer Henry Stephens left to pursue a solo career, recording an EP as Lord Henry Con Los Impala. After a few years the band moved to Chicago, releasing their Impala Syndrome album which is well worth checking out. An effective blend of melodic, laid back songs (Love Grows A Flower, Land Of No Time and the superb Eastern-influenced finale, Run (Don't Look Behind)) combined with fuzz guitar numbers like Too Much Time and Let Them Try. New Love Time is also rather catchy but Leave, Eve sounds
unashamedly like The Rascals' Its Wonderful.

Very impressive South American psych album. Some great guitars and bass work and solid English lyrics. Most of the songs have merit but among them "Too Much Time," "Let Them Try," and "Leave, Eve" are the best that the album offers.

Another major rarity, Legend of the Kingfisher had only 140 copies originally pressed. This album is a psych album with some progressive touches. The opening cut contains plenty of Farfisa organ, vocal harmonizing and some Jefferson Airplane-styled fuzz guitar.

After that the sound becomes a little more Progressive though still firmly in the psychedelic. The Farfisa isn't very prevalent; the guitars lead the way. In fact, there are a couple instances of some nice, intertwined dual guitar leads. There is plenty of flute and bird songs and other summer sounds between each song.

Day of Phoenix - Wide Open N-Way (1970 Denmark Heavy Psych)

ESTA BANDA LANLOU APENAS DOIS DISCOS ONDE ALIAVA UM BELO TRABALHO INSTRUMENTAL E UM LADO MAIS INSTROSPECTIVO DA PSICODELIA!!! FLERTAVA COM INFLUÊNCIAS JAZZISTAS EM CLIMAS BEM OBSCUROS!!

UM BOM VENENO QUE RECOMENDO!!!

The group was founded in 1968 by Cy Nicklin (later in Culpeper's Orchard) with Karsten Lyng Nielsen, Jess Staehr Nielsen, Ole Prehn and Henrik Friis Nielsen. They released the first single (1969) and participated in different events but in 1969 Cy Nicklin left the group and was replaced by Hans Lauridsen (and Stæhr by Erik Stedt Rasmussen).In 1970 the band released the LP Wide Open N-Way.

The music is psychedelic rock with clear feeling flowing from American bands. The lyrics are all sung in English. I met very different opinions about this album but it is definitely interesting and original work. Its producer (and of the following one) was Tony Reeves, ex-Colosseum bassist. Wide Open N-Way was warmly received and got some interest worldwide.

Two years later the group reformed (besides Karsten Lyng and Ole Prehn there were three BRI members: Ole Fick, Jess Stæhr, Bo Thrige Andersen) and recorded the second album. Unfortunately, it presents mediocre rock compositions far behind its predecessor.

Hiro Yanagida - Milktime (1970 Japan Psychedelic Rock/Prog Rock)

DISCO POSTADO A PEDIDO DO MEU AMIGO El sapo pasuche!!! ESTE CARA JÁ TOCOU EM QUASE TODAS AS MEHLORES BANDAS JAPONESAS!! VENENO JAPA!!

Hiro Yanagida - this keyboardist really got around! He was in Apryl Fool, Foodbrain, Masahiko Satoh & Sound Brakers, Love Live Life + one, and also played on Shinki Chen's solo album. Throughout this time he was putting out solo albums with some of the same musicians, such as Kimio Mizutani . His debut was 'Milk Time' [Liberty, 1970], which has a cool photo of a stern-looking gorilla on the cover, done by the same artist who did the Foodbrain album cover.

The backing band included Hiro Tsunoda from Foodbrain, Strawberry Path and Flied Egg, guitarist Kimio Mizutani and electric violinist Hiroki Tamaki [see below], as well as flautist Nozumu Nakatani and bassist Keiju Ishikawa [who later played with Akira Ito The music is in part similar to Foodbrain, but more varied, with lighter, jaunty short tracks and some tripped out sounds.This was followed by 'Hiro Yanagida' [Atlantic, 1971], with great cartoon psychedelic artwork.

He's again joined by Kimio Mizutani, and Joey Smith from Speed, Glue & Shinki and Juan De La Cruz [ sings on one track, a silly doo-wop ballad! The album as a whole covers slightly similar territory to that of 'Milk Time', though more accomplished, and some of the mellower keyboard-oriented stuff here is a bit more experimental and progressive. One track reminds me of Supersister and oddly, Stereolab from more than 20 years later! His 3rd album, 'Hiro' [URC, 1972], seems to be obscure and I can't find any information about it. 'Hirocosmos' [CBS, 1973] was reputedly another great album, in a more progressive vein.

There are a few more album which I know nothing about - 'UFO' [CBS, 1978], 'Shichi Sai No Rojin Tengoku' [label? year?] and 'Ma-Ya' [Substance, 2003]. I've seen another album listed, 'Planets in Rock Age [1971], but I don't know how that fits in or if it's just rumour. 'Milk Time' was reissued on CD by P-Vine, but appears to be out of print; 'Hiro Yanagida' and 'Hirocosmos' have been reissued on CD by Showboat and are tricky to track down outside of Japanese retailers. Yanagida played on J.A. Caesar's 'Matihedeyou Syowosuteyo' , and also recorded some material with Tokyo Kid Brothers

Garrett Lund - Almost Grown (1975 US Psychedelic Rock)

UM ALBUM RARO, ÓTIMO DE UMA BANDA TÍPICA WEST COAST PSYCHEDELIC NA LINHA DE DR. HOOKER E ZERFAS!! EXCELENTES BALADAS E PSICODELIAS COM VOCAIS EXUBERANTES!! RECOMENDO A FAIXA 8 ONDE OS CARAS FAZEM UMA DAS MELHORES VERSÕES QUE JÁ OUVI PARA A MÚSICA DE BOB DYLAN "IT'S ALL OVER NOW, BABY BLUE"!! VENENO ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO AOS AMANTES DE UM BOM ROCK PSICODÉLICO SETENTISTA!!!

Rare westcoast guitar-rocker with a late psych vibe and some fantastic tracks on level with DR Hooker and Zerfas. "The only turnaround" and "Silver sails" are good yardsticks for epic 1970s psych-rock. There are a couple of (to me) weaker tracks as well, but above average on balance, and rated very highly by some. A couple of tracks feature ex-Misunderstood legend Glenn Ross Campbell on steel guitar. There was also a pre-LP 45 with an alternate version of 'Country Livin' on the Tralfamadore label. "Lund" was formerly in garage bands the Caretakers and Trane.

PLum Nelly - Deceptive Lines (1973 US Rock Prog)

BOM E RARO VENENO AMERICANO QUE FAZIA UM HARD ROCK BEM DOSADO E ALTA QUALIDADE!!! O DISCO JÁ COMEÇA COM UM PETARDO BALADÃO DE VOCAL POTENTE, TIPO LED ZEPPELIN FAZIA EM ALGUMAS FAIXAS DE SEU PRIMEIRO DISCO!! OS CARAS USAVAM UMA FLAUTA SUTIL E POR VEZES UM VOCAL FEMININO BEM DOSADO!!! RARO E BOM!!

I have to admit that it took awhile for this album to reveal its charms to me. Featuring a series of extended tracks (only one out of six clocks in under four minutes), selections such as 'Deception' and 'Carry On' were rather conventional rock, sporting occasional progressive and jazzy touches (the latter courtesy of Jeremy Steig's flute, of Jeremy and the Satyrs fame). The lead singer had a decent voice, though his performances were frequently a little on the shrill side for my tastes. More to my liking were the chunky lead guitar moves.

Personal favorite; the intense 'Demon'. In terms of talent, these guys were clearly above most of their competition, but I still find the set lacking. [SB] ~~~

Another hard to find Capitol release, and another solid one. It's progressive hard rock with a British feel. There are lots of guitars, powerful male vocals, and even a little bit of flute. The long songs develop some nice grooves, and the album rocks convincingly. Equally as rare as Head Over Heels and Landslide, and almost as good. [AM]

La Revolucion De Emiliano Zapata - Hoy (1972 Mexican Psychedelic Rock)

VENENO MEXICANO E UM ROCK PSICODÉLICO DE PRIMEIRA LINHA!! SUGERE-SE TOMAR UMA TEQUILA OURO E VIAJAR NESTE VENENO!!

In the era of psychedelic rock and under the influence of American hippies of the late 1960s, a young band from Guadalajara headed by Javier Martin del Campo, formed with the intention of interpreting contemporary popular songs of the era in their own style. Initially, their hobby led them to play at local parties, but the resulting fame soon spread beyond their city. The group won the most call-in votes during a contest organized by a local radio station called "Radio ondas de la alegria" "Waves of Happiness Radio", and earned themselves an audition with an important record label.

Initially reluctant, they signed a contract with Polydor Records, launching their brief but successful foray into the world of rock music. With an original musical concept and creative sense, the group moved to Mexico City, continuing to adapt their urban rhythms and establish a base for their new musical launches. In 1970, they released their first record, containing songs "Nasty Sex" and "Still don't (Not yet)", which quickly shot up the popular charts both locally and worldwide. The head office of Polydor Records sent the group five medals as recognition for their high level of sales in the Americas, United Kingdom, and Europe of their one big hit, "Nasty Sex."
The relative obscurity of the band did not reduce the great impact achieved in those far-off areas. Later, they recorded their second hit, "Shit City," which earned only moderate success compared to their first.

They were invited to perform in the Avandaro festival in 1972, but declined the invitation due to an already very busy schedule. In that year, they took part in the film "La verdadera vocación de Magdalena" "The True Calling of Magdalena", starring singer and actress Angélica María, which more or less seriously addresses the topics that concerned young people of the era.

The members of the group at that time were:

Oscar Rojas (vocals)

Carlos Valle (lead guitar, harmony vocal)

Francisco Martínez Ornelas (bass guitar)

Marco Carrasco (drums)

Javier Martin del Campo (guitar).

Zior - Selftitled (Rare UK Hardrock 1971)

BANDA BRITÂNICA QUE FAZIA UM HARD ROCK PROGRESSIVO QUE LEMBRA ATOMIC ROOSTER, CACTUS E STEPPENWOLF!!! EXCELENTE SOM!! BELO VENENO!! OS CARAS USAVAM FLAUTA, HARMÔNICA E KEYBOARDS!!

Zior's 1971 debut album got immediate attention when it was released because the band used the same artist that Black Sabbath had used on their first album (an artist called Keef). This first album is a knockout of fantastic heavy rock and is still one of my favourite albums of that year.
Zior had their roots in Southend's early sixties R&B scene. Kevin Bonsor had previously been in a local R&B outfit, The Essex Five, and then classical/rock fusion outfit, Cardboard Orchestra.Pete Brewer had been in another Southend R&B band, The Night Riders. He and Bonsor were Zior's founding members recruiting Truba and Skeels (who'd once played in a London band called The Bum) via a 'Melody Maker' advert.

Zior did have a reputation as a wild live band. They were heavily into Black Magic and Satanic Mass etc. They recorded an album on the Beacon label, later in 1971, which was credited to Monument, though in fact it featured all four members of Zior.

Pussy - Pussy Plays (1969 UK Psych Progresivo Rock)

BANDA PSICODÉLICA EXCELENTE E ALBUM DE DIFÍCIL AQUISIÇÃO!!! O DISCO É MAIS PSICODÉLICO DO QUE PROGRESSIVO COM TROCA DE RITMOS MUITO BOAS E ONDE SE PODE ESCUTAR VÁRIOS INSTRUMENTOS, DESTACANDO-SE ORGAN HAMMOND ACOMPANHADO COM MAGNÍFICOS RIFFS DE GUITARRA!!! CERTAMENTE É UM DOS MELHORES DISCOS PSYCH PROGRESSIVO BRITÂNICO DE TODOS OS TEMPOS!! SÓ PRA INDICAR UMAS FAIXAS: DESTACARIA A 5, 7 E 8 COMO PSICODELIAS MUITO LEGAIS!! SE QUISEREM MAIS INFORMAÇÃO SOBRE ESTA ÓTIMA BANDA, SEGUE ABAIXO UM POUCO DA HISTÓRIA DELA TIRADA DA NET!!!

Info:

So, since most of the songs on the album were performed with the use of all the same instruments (lead and rhythm acoustic and electric guitars, a few different keyboards, bass, drums, and voice), especially because all these instruments sound specifically, with the same character styles of playing them throughout the album, now I am sure that Pussy was exactly a
quintet. (No, Pussy was a five-headed monster at the time!) Without guests, Pussy performed the following compositions of the album: All Of My Life, Comets, The Open Ground, Everybody's Song, and GEAB. I guess there were three guest musicians on the album. First of them was a female singer whose back vocals are clearly heard on the album's opening track Come Back June (maybe, she is June here, only masked with the dawn of the summer?) and on We Built the Sun (it must be great to build the sun in June, being in company with June).

There are two more guests, however, on "Pussy", but unlike the female singer (she's a lady after all!), they two, oboe and cello players, turned out to be squeezed (involved!) in the only Tragedy on the whole album. Really, there are five songs and three instrumentals on the album, but only one of the latter pieces, Tragedy In E-Minor, is full of drama. But, what a wonderful piece it is in reality! Performed without rhythm-section, slow and loftily sad, Tragedy In E-Minor is filled with a lot of various, always beautiful and quite virtousic roulades and passages of minstrel-alike acoustic guitar and piano, (guest) oboe and cello, duets of acoustic piano and guitar, as well as with electric piano and guitar melancholy solos and interplays between them.

Frequent changes of joint arrangements, diverse parts of each instrument, an obvious medieval feel all make Tragedy In E-Minor one of just a handful unique and beautiful (progressive, of course) instrumental pieces to come out of the 1960s. Both the other instrumentals differ from Tragedy more than radically (as well as the majority of tracks on the album in general). GEAB and Comets (what a proper title for this track!), both contain a wide variety of themes, solos and joint arrangements, and these are mostly powerful and sometimes highly bombastic, by no means ordinary things at the dawn of Progressive. Comets, as not Earthly entities, drive all over the universe, sometimes accompanied by an otherworldly growl and their, probably, own ghostly howls (created, though, by an Earthly engine called keyboards), as well as with such essential things as regular changes of themes, tempos and moods (both instrumentally and vocally), guitar, bass and keyboard solos, all of which form sometimes duets and trios.

There are enough of unusual moves and sounds on GEAB too, though, I can't understand (up to now) if a real or 'synthetic' flute plays to the accompaniment of bass and rhythm-guitar in the beginning of this composition. Well, it's time to talk about the songs. While a few episodes on each of both the 'bombastic' instrumentals sound sometimes almost as Prog-Metal parts, all five songs are of such a kind of Classic Art Rock, in which the famous band Camel worked and still works. Changing, yet mostly plain (as there are few elements of other musical genres) typical Classic Art Rock structures of Come Back June, All Of My Life, We Built the Sun, The Open Ground, and Everybody's Song sounded very innovative at the time, as lots of those bands once and forever dubbed as the most influential on the creations of other bands, used practically the same structural schemes in their compositions.

Changes of themes, moods, etc happen mainly within the same united (Art-Rock, for example) stylistics, while transformations into another genre (Prog-Metal, etc) are rare. The latter, however, doesn't prevent pure Art-Rock or Symphonic arrangements, typical for all songs of Pussy, from being complex and even intricate. The majority of vocals parts on the album I also regard as diverse, because the vocal palette here is really rich in emotions, especially dramatic, though using the female backing vocals only on two tracks doesn't look effective as a whole. Also, the album would have sounded richer if the accidental participants of Tragedy (they were just guests) had worked on each track.

1. Come Back June

2. All of My Life

3. We Built the Sun

4. Comets

5. Tragedy in F Minor

6. The Open Ground

Magic Mixture - This Is Magic Mixture (1968 UK Psychedelia)

PSICODELIA INGLESA ALTAMENTE QUALIFICADA E TÍPICA DOS ANOS 60 COM HAMMOND E TUDO QUE TEM DIREITO!! UMA MISTURA MÁGICA REALMENTE!!! EXCELENTE DISCO E RARIDADE DISPUTADA!! E QUE CAPA MALUCA!!!

1968 psych classic which has been much sought after as a fine exponent of the UK's swinging London psych scene. Released on the same label as Guy and David's "Five Day Week Straw People". Like that album this is typical melodic late '60s psych with hammond, screaming wah-wah guitar breaks and Cream like vocals. 1968 UK heavy-psych classic, originally released on the budget Saga label.

The modest cover art and relative band anonymity betray an accomplished collection of twelve original tracks, with solo guitar blasts and zonked harmonies a'plenty, anchored by some thunderous Hammond. A blanket of warm, hazy production makes this every bit the equal of labelmates The Five Day Week Straw People, and both nestle comfortably next to the filler-free full-lengths of 'underground' icons Second Hand, Open Mind, The Art, etc."

John the Revelator - Wild Blues (1972 Holanda Blues Psych)

VENENO HOLANDÊS!! BLUES PSYCH EXCELENTE!! OS PIRADOS POR FLETWWOD MAC E PETER GREEN NÃO DEVIAM DEIXAR DE ESCUTAR ESTE DISCO!! OLHA BEM: OS CARAS CRESCERAM ESCUTANDO DISCOS DE ELMORE JAMES, WILLIE DIXON E SOBRETUDO DE JOHN MAYAL!!! SÓ COM COM ESSAS INFLUÊNCIAS DÁ PRA IMAGINAR O QUE OS CARAS FAZIAM!! VENENO PURO!! COMO O TÍTULO DIZ: "BLUES SELVAGEM" E PSICODÉLICO!!! ABAIXO SEGUE UM TEXTO SOBRE O DISCO RETIRADO DO SITE MENTES DE ÁCIDO!!

El disco lo abre el tema que da nombre al grupo, un canto espiritual negro y que ya versionara Son House en sus tiempos o Gov’t Mule en su primer disco, y que sirve de introducción a “I Can’t Stop Loving You”. Primer trallazo en forma blues rock directo donde el slide hace acto de presencia por primera vez y que da paso a “Worried Dreams”, un slow blues que desprende feeling por los cuatro costados y que demuestra que en la tierra de los tulipanes se vive y se siente el blues como en Chicago o Mississippi, y es que escuchando “Charlies Drive In”, un tema instrumental con un piano pantanoso como pocos, cuesta creer que estos fumetas setenteros no nacieran en el debastado y malogrado New Orleans.

Sin tiempo casi ni para respirar nos atacan con un “I Can’t Hold Out” de Elmore James, dándole su toque personal y acabando con un subidón que pone los pelos de punta. “Personal Manager” es otro blues lento cargado de buenas guitarras y con un piano que, aunque siempre en segundo plano, dota a las canciones de un toque personal. “Wild Blues”, que da título al disco y que dura escasamente minuto y medio, es un slide blues en el que se encargan de dejar claro que dominan la técnica, algo que ya sabíamos a estas alturas del disco y algo de lo que, bajo mi punto de vista, podrían haver prescindido. Aún así el corte es efectivo y da paso a “Bleeding Herat”, un tema que sigue la misma onda de temas anteriores y que pone en evidencia, una vez más, el amor que le procesan a Hound Dog Taylor, Elmore James y, porque no, a Jeremy Spencer. “No Woman” un blues acústico, arrastrado, con harmónica, de perdedores, es uno de esos temas que bien hecho, como es el caso, pone la piel de gallina en cada escucha te guste o no la música, sirve, junto a “Homework” para cerrar el disco de manera magistral y con la sensación del que hace bien su trabajo.

Lo grande de todo esto es que con la reedición del sello Pseudonym Records tenemos seis temas extras entre actuaciones en vivo, demos y canciones no incluidas. Las tres primeras, “Yeah”, “Rocking Squirrel” y “One Track Mind” siguen la tónica general del disco siendo esta última un temazo de la vida, otro blues lento interpretado de forma magistral y con un gran trabajo, nuevamente, de su guitarrista. El siguiente regalo es otra versión del “I Can’t Stop Loving” esta vez en directo, y para acabar unas tomas del “Little Red Rooster” del grandioso Howlin’ Wolf y otra toma alternativa del “Worried Dreams” que no puede dejar a nadie indiferente, y es que cuando estos holandeses se ponen a tocar blues como Dios manda parece que nada más les importe.

BIG SLEEP - Bluebell Wood (1971 UK Rock Prog pSYCH)

DESTE DISCO JÁ COMEÇO CITANDO A FAIXA 4 COM UM PIANO PERFEITO NO ACOMPANHAMENTO, UMA BALADA LINDA!! UM DISCO LEGAL E NO CLIMA DA ÉPOCA!! BOA BANDA!!

Released in 1971 on the Pegasus label, Big Sleep's “Bluebell Wood” represents a brief stepping stone between the Eyes Of Blue and several other groups who feature in Man's history. Big Sleep was the name chosen in an attempt by Mercury's UK A&R chief Lou Reizner to revitalise the Eyes Of Blue, but the group never performed live under the new name and folded within months of its release.

Of the players in this short-lived project, Phil Ryan would quickly join Pete Brown's Piblokto! for a few months before teaming up with Clive John and forming the abortive Iowerth Pritchard and The Neutrons. Phil's next step was to join Man. John 'Pugwash' Weathers would follow Gary Pickford-Hopkins into Wild Turkey and then join Graham Bond's Organisation before Gentle Giant beckoned. Weathers would eventually become Man's longest-serving drummer, taking the stool between 1983 and 1995.

"Bluebell Wood" is an accomplished album although the quirky nature of the production does sometimes fail to integrate the music into a seamless whole. Sombre in overall feel, Phil Ryan described it in 1976 as "the most miserable LP - it makes Lou Reed look like the Bay City Rollers!" With two keyboard players the album is laden with piano/organ textures and, as Martin Mycock noted in his 1993 TWC review, "Overall the album is definitely more coherent than previous [Eyes Of Blue] efforts with more emphasis on instrumental work - rightly so with players of the calibre of Taff and Phil".

The album opens with 'Death Of A Hope' from John Weathers which features a liberal sprinkling of strings and an almost orchestral arrangement. Gary Pickford-Hopkins supplies the next track, 'Odd Song', with its subtly syncopated acoustic beat. Another, more successful Weathers song follows, 'Free Life'. The five remaining tracks all stem from pianist and bassist Ritchie Francis and these nicely bridge the gap between sixties pop and seventies progressive rock. 'Aunty James' includes some simple but beautifully appropriate organ fills from Phil Ryan, and then 'Saint And Sceptic' is introduced with some baroque if unimaginative wah-wah guitar from Williams.

The title track, 'Bluebell Wood', is a progressive tour-de-force, mainly instrumental but with an occasional quasi-mystical lyric thrown in to season the recipe. 'Watching Love Grow' is a straight-forward acoustic-tinged ballad which leads to the final track, 'When The Sun Was Out', which seems slightly misplaced being a more obviously commercial number, perhaps conceived as a single.

Phil Ryan (Organ, Piano)

Ritchie Francis (Bass, Piano, Vocals)

AQUILA - Aquila (1970 UK Prog Psych)

UM GRUPO DE CURTA DURAÇÃO E DE UM DISCO SÓ!! NASCEU DAS CINZAS DO GRUPO BLONDE ON BLONDE, CUJO GUITARRISTA RALPH DENYER DEIXOU A BANDA PARA INICIAR O PROJETO AQUILA!! O SOM DA BANDA ERA BASEADO EM INFLUÊNCIAS JAZZ E ART ROCK E NESTE ÚNICO DISCO FIZERAM UMA OBRA PRIMA!! TRATA-SE DE ÁLBUM DE ALTO VALOR NO MERCADO ENTRE OS COLECIONADORES POR SER RARO E TAMBÉM POR SUA ALTA QUALIDADE!! CONFIRAM ESTE VENENO E NÃO SE ARREPENDERÃO!! HARD ROCK JAZZ PSYCH NA DOSE CERTA, SEM VIAJAR MUITO EM NENHUMA DESTAS INFLUÊNCIAS!! NOTEM OS INSTRUMENTOS QUE OS CARAS USAVAM E JÁ TERÃO UMA IDÉIA DO SOM!! VENENO EM DOSE CERTA!!

Welsh band Aquila arose from the ashes of late 1960's band BLONDE ON BLONDE. Founding guitarist Ralph Denyer left that band in 1970 to work on his Aquila project. Blonde on Blonde recruited new vocalist/guitarist David Thomas (an old school friend of Denyer) to replace Denyer, and went on to record their best album "Rebirth".

Aquila's music, while substantially based in art rock, draws in influences from a diverse range of influences, including jazz and heavy rock. Deyner was the clear leader of the band, writing all the songs on their sole release, a self titled album.

Quite what happened to the band thereafter, and why they split up so quickly is something of a mystery, especially since they were signed o a major label (RCA). Wind instrumentalist George Lee joined ARRIVAL, a mainly vocal collaboration who enjoyed brief singles success (before his arrival with "Friends". (Answers.com notes that this is the same George Lee who was born in Ghana, real name Kwame Narh Kojo Larnyoh, who was a member of Burning Spear and Toots & the Maytals, but I suspect this is inaccurate.)

No photos of the band appear to exist, even the images on the album sleeve are sketches of each band member. The image on this page is taken from the LP sleeve. The sole "Aquila" album ended up in the bargain bins of the UK, but ironically, is now a sought after rarity. With due acknowledgement to an article written by Nigel Camilleri for DPRP.net, about the only reference to the band currently traceable!

VENENO NA VEIA!!

Stackwaddy were an English band discovered by Radio One DJ John Peel, who signed them to his own Dandelion label. They delivered gut-level covers with howling vocals reminiscent of Beefheart at his best. All tracks were put down live in the studio, mostly first-takes with no overdubs. The self-titled debut and 'Bugger Off' were released in 1971 and 1972 respectively, and soon became collectors items. Both are included on this CD, but unfortunately their version of 'The Girl From Ipanema' from the second LP has been cut due to lack of space. Otherwise a good package for fans of primal blues rock.

Strawberry Alarm Clock - Good Morning Starshine (1969 US Psych Rock Prog)

ESTA É UMA BANDA CLÁSSICA DO PSICODELISMO SESSENTISTA!! JÁ É BEM CONHECIDA PELOS ADEPTOS, MAS ESTE DISCO EM PARTICULAR É MUITO RARO E COM UMA SONORIDADE BEM DIFERENTE DO QUE OS SEUS ADEPTOS ESTÃO ACOSTUMADOS!! MAIS TRABALHADO E MUITO MAIS MADURO QUE SEUS OUTROS DISCOS!! MÚSICAS QUE NÃO SÃO ENCONTRADAS EM COLETÂNEAS, A NÃO SER A MAIS FAMOSA DA BANDA QUE FOI INCLUÍDA NA TRILHA SONORA DO FILME HAIR, "GOOD MORNING STARSHINE"!! É UM VENENO ESQUECIDO PELA MÍDIA DESTA BOA BANDA!! RECOMENDADO!!

With this LP the Alarm Clock now had a new sound. Earlier in 1969 Marty Katin was replaced by former member of Thee Sixpence and Strawberry Alarm Clock, Gene Gunnels on drums. The LP features great driving guitars, organ and drums. Not like the previous 3 LP's, this LP is best described as Alarm Clock Rock. Jimmy Pitman's arrival was crucial to the band. He brought in a new sound, a new lead voice and new songs.

This was the first LP since their first to feature of picture of the group on the cover. This would also be the last studio LP the Alarm Clock would ever put out. The playing on this LP is outstanding! On songs like "Hog Child" and "Miss Attraction" the guitars/organ/drums are all over the place. "Small Package" sounds like the SAC of old and the end tag is from "California Girls" by the Beach Boys with whom they toured often with in 1967-1968. "Write Your Name In Gold" and "Dear Joy" are outstanding as well! Soon after this LP's release, Jimmy Pitman would leave to form Jumbo and was replaced by Paul Marshall who had been in The Beauchemins and The Tree Toppers.

East of Eden - Jig-A-Jig (1971 UK Rock Prog)

BANDA EXCELENTE COM UM SOM FURIOSO!! PRATICAMENTE TODOS OS DISCOS DO EAST OF EDEN SÃO BONS!! ESTE EM PARTICULAR TEM ALGUMAS PRECIOSIDADES MUSICAIS, COMO NA FAIXA 1 UM SOLO DE VIOLINO E RIFFS DE GUITARRA MUITO MALUCO!! NA FAIXA 3 ALGO CHAPANTE, ESTILO ORIENTAL ROCK COM VIOLINO, SAX, PERCUSSÃO E UM VOCAL ALUCINANTE!! NA FAIXA 5 OUTRA CHAPAÇÃO CONDUZIDA POR FLAUTA E UM SAX ALTAMENTE ACIDO!! DESTACO TAMBÉM A FAIXA 7 ONDE A BANDA FLERTA, E MUITO BEM COM O JAZZ/ROCK!!! O RESUMO DA ÓPERA É ISSO, UM GRANDE DISCO DE UMA GRANDE BANDA!! POSTERIORMENTE VOU POSTAR MAIS UM DISCO DELES!!

A progressive band formed in Brighton in 1968 by violinist and multi-instrumentalist Dave Arbus. Their novelty hit with the instrumental 'Jig A Jig' was completely untypical of their usual musical style, progressive rock with lots of hard rock guitar and Dave Arbus' wild violin work. The band were very popular in London's underground clubs. Their debut album came in an outstanding sleeve and was the best example of their Eastern-influenced rock. Guitarist/vocalist Nicholson left after this along with drummer Dufont and bassist York (who joined Manfred Mann's Chapter 3). 'Snafu' veered more towards jazz-rock but was their most successful album commercially, getting into the Top 30.

It was also a big success on the Continent as was their 'Ramadhan' 45. In 1970, they signed to Harvest, but their first album for them was rather mundane, having sacrificed their earlier Eastern influence for a country sound. 'New Leaf' was slightly better, and certainly the opening cut, 'Bradshaw The Bison Hunter', is worth a spin. After this, Arbus quit though he later reappeared on Roger Daltrey's self-titled solo album. The band carried on replacing him with former Mushroom violinist Joe O'Donnell. This line-up recorded a couple of further albums which only appeared on the Continent, before splitting up in 1978. 'Hemisphere' can also be heard on 'Rubble Vol. 12: Staircase To Nowhere' (LP) and 'Rubble Vol. 6' (CD).

It was based around a distinctive guitar riff topped with Arbus' frenetic violin work and has a rather hypnotic ending with good flute and effects. Earlier in 1971, 'Harvest Bag' included 'Ain't Gonna Do You No Harm', and two years earlier, 'Communion' was featured on 'Wowie Zowie! World Of Progressive Music'. Geoff Britton later played with Wings, whilst Joe O'Donnell made several solo albums in the seventies and eighties, many of which feature guest appearances by Rory Gallagher. Les Davidson ended up doing session work in London in mid-80s.

Home - Pause For A Hoarse Horse (1971 UK Rock Folk Prog)

NÃO SE DEIXE ENGANAR POR ESTA CAPA QUE PODE PARECER UMA BANDA DAQUELAS COUNTRY BEM DA FRONTEIRA AMERICANA!! NÃO É NADA DISSO!! TRATA-SE DE UMA EXCELENTE BANDA COM GUITARRAS LIMPAS, GRANDES TEMAS E QUE TEM COMO CURIOSIDADE QUE O BAIXISTA CLIFF WILLIAMS, POSTERIORMENTE, INTEGROU A BANDA AC/DC!!

O GUITARRISTA LAURIE WISEFIELD DEPOIS INTEGROU O WISHBONE ASH E O BATERISTA MICK COOK O GROUNDHOGS!! VENENO SEM ALUCINAÇÕES!! PODE CONSUMIR BEM TRANQUILO!!

History:

This German reissue combines both of Home's first two albums, Pause for a Hoarse Horse and Home, on one CD. Both are evidence of the influence of American late-'60s/early-'70s West Coast country-rock on the early-'70s British rock scene, which though mild on the whole had a quite pronounced impact on a few U.K. bands, including (as much more celebrated examples) Brinsley Schwarz and Matthews' Southern Comfort. On their awkwardly titled debut LP Pause for a Hoarse Horse, Home proved themselves to be good, competent players, capable of good-natured country-rock with some sparkling guitar, sometimes speckled with a hint of Paul McCartneyesque pop or (especially on "Family") Crosby, Stills & Nash harmonies. But while there was nothing seriously flawed or irritating about the album, there was nothing special about the material, largely written by lead singer Mick Stubbs.

They would have been eminently suitable as an opening act for the likes of the Flying Burrito Brothers, or, for that matter, Brinsley Schwarz and Matthews' Southern Comfort. But they didn't have songs on the order of any of those bands, or an approach that was nearly as distinctive. The result was an album that was both inoffensive and inessential, occasionally straying from country-rock into average straightforward harder rock. Home, the band's second album, might have likewise been mistaken for an American country-rock record at a casual listen. In keeping with California trends, too, its country-rock got a little slicker, the harmonies at points slightly resembling those of the Eagles, though that group had yet to really take off when Home was issued.

It's a marginally more serious, mellow, and wistful LP than Pause for a Hoarse Horse, and the more laidback qualities of early-'70s Neil Young must count as a prominent influence as well, on both the singing and songwriting. Still, it's a marginal album as a whole, if not quite mediocre. The tunes aren't too memorable; the tracks (like those on many on early-'70s rock releases) sometimes go on too long, with the nine-minute "My Lady of the Birds" incorporating some vaguely progressive rock passages, though it isn't typical of the record; and the overall atmosphere is on the low-energy side, even for mellow country-rock. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

Relatively Clean Rivers - Same (1975 US West Coast Psych)

UMA BOA RARIDADE E UMA ÓTIMA BANDA TÍPICA "WEST COAST" AMERICANA COM UM SOM DE HARMONIA INCOMPARÁVEL!! SOLOS DE GUITARRA ACUSTICA PERFEITAS E UM VOCAL TRANQUILO E SEM ESFORÇO, FAZEM DESTE DISCO UMA PEÇA, ALÉM DE RARA, ABSOLUTAMENTE BRILHANTE!! ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO!!

I was introduced to this record after getting into one of Phil Pearlman's other bands, Beat of the Earth, and the great record label, Radioactive Records. Absolutely brilliant west coast rock, with a slick mid 70's Neil Young like production. This should be a great album for everyone to dig this summer. Love! First ever reissue. Former "Beat Of The Earth" leader Phil Pearlman assembled Relatively Clean Rivers in the early '70s and eventually recorded this excellent rural rock album in 1975.

Although it should be easy to pigeonhole the sound of Relatively Clean Rivers, it is actually anything but. At times sounding like The Grateful Dead in all their American Beauty pomp, or CSNY circa Déjà Vu, this tight, richly talented ensemble produces an album of almost majestic quality. The sound is superb, and clearly no time or expense were spared to produce an album which is probably the most flawless snapshot of Californian '70s under ground music that you will ever here.

Originally there were 2 pressings of this unique album, each of only 500 copies each, and this is the first time that this, or any of Pearlman's other recordings has been reissued. An album highly recommended to anyone even remotely interested in '70s West Coast music or simply top-notch music in general.(Forced-Exposure)

LOVE - FOREVER CHANGES (1967)

ESTE DISCO NÃO PODERIA FALTAR NOS VENENOS DO ROCK!! PRA MIM É UM CLÁSSICO E QUEM CONHECE A HISTÓRIA DO ROCK ANOS 60 SABE MUITO BEM DISSO!! ARTHUR LEE, O GRANDE LÍDER DESTA BANDA INFLUENCIOU O CONHECIDO JIMI HENDRIX!! O MELHOR DISCO DA BANDA!! ARTHUR LEE FEZ UM SHOW RECENTEMENTE EM COMEMORAÇÃO AOS 40 ANOS DO ALBUM ONDE TOCOU O DISCO INTEIRO NA SEQUENCIA ORIGINAL!! UMA OBRA QUE TEM EM DVD À DISPOSIÇÃO PRA QUEM QUISER!! É SÓ CONTATAR COMIGO!! INFELIZMENTE O CARA DESOCUPOU O PLANETA MESES APÓS ESTE SHOW!!

História do disco:

Após alguns conflitos na banda, a gravadora Elektra decidiu propôr a gravação de um terceiro disco. A banda então começou a trabalhar num dos melhores albuns de todos os tempos, Forever Changes, um disco maravilhoso, com arranjos instrumentais muito bem elaborados e composições maravilhosas.

Obra maior do psicadelismo west coast, Forever Changes é o momento alto da carreira desta banda que soube marcar a diferença em relação aos seus pares: por contraponto ao folk rock dos Byrds, ou à pseudo-poesia cerimonial dos Doors, os Love produziam gemas pop onde, não raras vezes, os sopros mariachi davam um ar da sua graça.

Falar de Forever Changes é falar de Arthur Lee, anti-hippy assumido, figura carismática e conturbada até ao momento da sua morte há pouco mais de um ano que, com voz aveludada, entoava letras de um beleza extrema onde as referências sexuais eram uma constante. Além de frontman da banda, era também o seu principal compositor.

Quis o destino que "Alone Again Or", uma das duas composições do guitarrista Bryan MacLean incluídas em Forever Changes, se tornasse a canção mais conhecida dos Love. No entanto, podem aqui encontrar motivos de sobra para a santificação de Arthur Lee enquanto compositor e intérprete: "A House Is Not A Motel", "Andmoreagain", "The Red Telephone", "You Set The Scene", e... todas as outras!

Algumas canções se tornaram símbolos do psicodelismo. Só para citar as pérolas, vá de Alone Again or, A House is not a Motel e Live and Let Live. Em 2001, o álbum foi remasterizado e ganhou faixas bônus, como takes alternativos e outras músicas.

Fresh Air - A Breath Of Fresh Air (US Psychedelia 1969)

NEM VOU FALAR NADA!! COMO SEMPRE: VENENO BOM, RARO E UM EXCELENTE ALBUM COM HARMONIAS PERFEITAS, VOCAIS NA MEDIDA...AQUILO TUDO!! PRESTEM ATENÇAO NA PRIMEIRA FAIXA "FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH", UM VERSÃO DA BANDA BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD ACELERADA DAS MELHORES QUE OUVI!!

"Fresh Air's A Breath Of Fresh Air, recorded in 1969 at Sunwest Studios in Hollywood, is the rarest album to appear on the Amaret label. A highly-sought after album by collectors, A Breath Of Fresh Air is a fine mix of pop and hard psych, featuring some driving, heavy guitar and lots of swirling organ.

Fresh Air, a tight quintet of superb musicians led by lead vocalist Marc Piscitelli's, performs 10 well recorded and beautifully delivered tracks. Piscitelli's haunting vocal style shines throughout this excellent album, and it is hardly surprising that the singer went on to enjoy a career as an engineer and a backing vocalist for such luminaries as Glen Campbell, Juice Newton, Spirit and John Travolta. A Breath Of Fresh Air is another undiscovered gem, reissued for the first time by Radioactive Records."

Recorded in 1969 in Hollywood and originally released on the Amaret label.The album is a fine mix of pop and hard psychedelic rock featuring some driving heavy guiitars and swirling keybords. Includes a fast paced cover of "For What It's Worth".

BENT WIND – SUSSEX (1969 Canada Heavy Psych Rock)

BENT WIND É BANDA CANADENSE DA BOA!! PENA QUE SEJA O ÚNICO REGISTRO DELES!! UMA CURIOSIDADE QUE DEVE AGUÇAR AINDA MAIS OS MALUCOS COLECIONADORES É DE QUE ESTE DISCO FOI LANÇADO EM QUANTIDADE MÍNIMA, MENOS DE 500 CÓPIAS EM TODO O MUNDO!! VOCÊS DEVEM TER IDÉIA DO PREÇO QUE ALCANÇOU ESTE VINIL À ÉPOCA!! EXCELENTE VENENO QUE MESCLA COM MAESTRIA PSICODELISMO COM HARD ROCK, MUITO BOM!!

The Toronto, Ontario, psychedelic rock band Bent Wind got its sporadic start in 1969. Original members way back then were drummer Eddie Thomas, bassist Sebastian Pelaia, and singers and guitarists Marty Roth and Gerry Gibas. The skilled group managed to record one double-sided single together, "Sacred Cows" and "Castles Made of Man," and one full-length album, Sussex Drive, before a long dry spell. Both offerings came out under the Trend Records label on black vinyl.

Most of the early works from Bent Wind were marketed in small amounts, which have made the albums not only interesting to listen to, but very hard to find, and worth big bucks if you happen to locate one your mom or dad stored away in the attic. Two lengthy decades after that debut album appeared, guitarist Marty Roth took the reins and brought the long forgotten Bent Wind back to life — with the help of some new artists.

The group, with its innovative lineup, recorded a second album, The Fourth Line Is...You Will, in 1989. It was independently released in a limited amount, just like the debut.It took less than a decade for a third album to finally show up, Shadows on the Wall. Roth was in on the recording again, and brought along musicians like guitarists Michael George Jones and Bill Miller, along with drummer Wilson Laurencin, and a number of others.

BAKERLOO – BAKERLOO (1969 UK Hard Rock Bluesy)

MEUS AMIGOS ENVENENADOS!! ESTA BANDA É MORTAL!! UM DOS MELHORES E QUE EU MAIS ESCUTAVA E ESCUTO AINDA!! PETARDO MESCLADO ENTRE O ROCK, BLUES E PSICODELIA!! TODO O DISCO É PAULADA NA NUCA, MAS DESTACO A FAIXA 7 COM 15 MINUTOS DE DURAÇÃO COMO UMA OBRA DO IMPROVISO!! CUIDADO!! ESTE VENENO É MORTAL, MAS NÃO TENHA MEDO DE SER FELIZ, NÃO CONSUMA COM MODERAÇÃO!!

Bakerloo originally formed around 1968 under the moniker ‘Bakerloo Blues Line’ in the Birmingham area. The line-up then was Dave ‘Clem’ Clempson on guitar and vocals, Terry Poole on bass and John Hinch on drums. Initially they stuck to a largely blues based set, yet like so many of the innovative acts of the era grew tired of the formula and began to experiment.

They attracted Black Sabbath’s future manager Jim Simpson, and attracted a considerable following- enough to win them a slot on John Peel’s BBC Radio 1 show ‘Top Gear’. However, there was a touch of Spinal Tap syndrome with drummers as Hinch was replaced with a multitude of players until they finally settled on Keith Baker. They also decided to drop the ‘Blues Line’ and became the shortened Bakerloo, and were put on a package tour called ‘Big Bear Ffolly’ (which inspired Bakerloo’s song of the same name) with other local bands Tea and Symphony, Locomotive (another highly innovative proto prog combo) and Earth, who would of course later evolve into the massively successful Black Sabbath.

They recorded their album prior to getting a record deal under the aegis of legendary, recently deceased producer Gus Dudgeon yet eventually, Simpson secured a deal with the new ‘progressive/underground’ imprint Harvest Records, which housed the likes of Pink Floyd, Edgar Broughton Band and aforementioned fellow Brummies, Tea and Symphony.Though the album received very enthusiastic reviews and the band had a sizeable cult following, it sold little. This was a shame, because it remains a genuinely ‘progressive’ album with blues, jazz, classical and heavy rock meeting head-on, yet seamlessly.However, internal ructions ripped the band apart anyway and despite some line-up reshuffles, with noted rock drummer Cozy Powell joining the band.

That line-up lasted a small amount of time before Jon Hiseman, who had been impressed with Clempson’s guitar prowess, invited him to join the legendary jazz rock combo Colosseum. Keith Baker joined Uriah Heep for their classic ‘Salisbury’ album and Terry Poole turned up on blues/jazz rock innovator Graham Bond’s albums of the era.Clempson, after Colosseum split, went on to work with heavy rockers Humble Pie who were a massive success, and Rough Diamond with ex-Uriah Heep singer David Byron, who were not. Clempson continued to work with a variety of artists. However, the other members seemingly fell off the radar after the 1970s.Still, Bakerloo’s one and only album (a real collector’s item in original vinyl format) is a definite underrated classic and has a lot to offer fans of the genre.

Arzachel - Arzachel (UK Psychedelia 1969 - Steve Hillage & Dave Stewart)

EXCELENTE ALBUM COM ESTILO HEAVY BLUESY PSYCHEDELIC GUITAR!! GUITARRA E TECLADOS TRABALHANDO LEGAL COM ALGUNS EFEITOS ALUCINANTES!! MAIS UM VENENO DO BOM QUE DISPONIBILIZO NESTE BLOG!! A MAIORIA DOS MEMBROS DESTA BANDA POSTERIORMENTE VEIO A FORMAR A ÓTIMA BANDA EGG!!

An excellent album from this British progressive group recorded in 1969 by a band of mysterious pseudonyms. In fact, this was a formation of some of the biggest names in UK progressive rock including Simeon Sasparella & Njerogi Gategaka (aka Steve Hillage from Gong). The other 3 members Dave Stewart, Clive Brooks and Mont Campbell formed Egg. Originally released on Evolution this heavy, spacey keyboarddriven album is often compared to Pink Floyd's Saucer Full of Secrets. For fans of Egg, Gong, National Health and Caravan.

A classic late sixties heavy, bluesy, psychedelic guitar album. Full of fine guitaring, major organ work with some weirdness and sound effects. Originally released in 1969 on Evolution Records (mint copies now cost well over £200) and in very small quantities periodically since on various strange small labels.

You can certainly hear echoes of Steve's later work in Khan and even his first solo album 'Fish Rising'. Probably another fleeting chance to hear a vital piece of Steve's musical development.

The production has oft been remarked upon, for this psychedelic fuzz-fest, but to my ears, this simply makes it all the more compelling, and lends the music the correct "free-festival" atmosphere.
In actual fact, the main problem with the production seems to be the almost complete absence of compression, and omnipresent and over-worked reverb, leading to what might be considered excessive distortion. However, I have to say that I find it a veritable feast of fuzz and feedback, with a great range of dynamics and a very full sound for each instrument - a beautiful and powerful sound.
The self-titled album from the psychedelic pseudonyms is a surreal trip through a variety of musical styles that go beyond psychedelia and into the realms of Progressive Rock proper. The band get into some seriously good grooves, and seldom if ever make the kinds of mistakes and fluffs that plague many Krautrock albums of this time, and Hawkwind albums for decades to come.

I've seen many comparisons made to Pink Floyd, and I'd like to scotch most of those rumours here and now. The huge organ sound that Dave Stewart produces is far more akin to Deep Purple - or more accurately, The Nice, inspired, as it was, by Keith Emerson, and Hillage's guitar work, although not the polished leading light of space rock that he would become in Gong and his solo work, is utterly remarkable. Especially when you consider that he was 17 at the time. Come to that, not one of the musicians were in their twenties when they made this recording, so the professionalism of musicianship is extraordinary.

The closest this album comes to Pink Floyd is in the cosmic "wooey noises" that begin the 14-minute jam "Metempsychosis", a track that threatens to drop into "Interstellar Overdrive" at any moment - but instead remains an energetic variation on a theme, albeit with slightly uninspired moments that drift off into stoned noodle. These, fortunately, are way more than balanced with moments of pure drama and psychedelic power with some particularly stunning vocal and keyboard work. Think Hawkwind at their very best and you're close.

As has been remarked upon, this album was recorded in a single day - Hillage himself is alleged to have said it was just done "for a laugh" - and the fun certainly comes across. The plethora of pseudonyms that plague the personnel were largely for contractural reasons, which the artists got around by using the invented names - even the band name was a pseudonym.

I guess that those fond of categorising are going to say that this is more of a psychedelic jam or Space Rock album than a "proper" Prog Rock album, and they'd probably be right.
However, it's so much more together than the average psych album, and so much more than pure Space Rock, that I'm just going to have to say that you really ought to have this in your Prog collection as an indeal representative of where Prog was at in 1969 (ITCOTCK excepted, of course!).(Review by Certif1ed (Mark)

HUNGER – Strictly from Hunger/Lost Album (1969 US Garage Heavy Psych)

EXCELENTE BANDA QUE FAZIA UM SOM PSICODÉLICO MUITO LEGAL E QUE USAVA TECLADOS BEM TRABALHADOS DE FUNDO!! CERTAMENTE UM DOS GRANDES DISCOS PERDIDOS DO PSYCH ROCK!! É UM DISCO ONDE SE PODE OUVIR EM CADA CANÇÃO ELEMENTOS SUTIS DE JAZZ, BLUES, POP E RHYTHM BLUES!! BELO E RARO VENENO!! RECOMENDO PARA ALUCINADOS DESTE GENÊRO!!

The group Hunger was an extremely talented group from Portland, Oregon. The album "Strictly From Hunger" was released in 1968. It was to be the only release from the group, as a streak of bad luck broke the band apart. Unfortunately on two separate occasions their equipment was stolen.The group featured long organ driven instrumental breaks with piercing guitar lines between some strong songwriting in a majority of their songs.

They were a very popular group that was rising fast in the California psychedelic scene. By the time it was over they were right on the verge of crossing over to hard rock.Songs like "Workshop," which delves into your thought processes and dreams, I thought, were very introspective and thought provoking, and great musically. "She Let Him Continue" is a psych-rock gem from the vaults. With all of the sound effects (which were fairly new at the time) and the strong vocal inflections from the pipes of Bill Daffern (drums), the song still sounds as hauntingly fresh today as the day it was laid down in the studio. Mike Parkinson normally handled all the vocals. John Morton (lead guitar), Steve Hansen (rhythm guitar), Tom Tanory (bass) were the core of the group that supported the great songwriting and vocals.

"Portland" is a stunning instrumental passage. This particular track made me realize that this group would have evolved quite interestingly if they had remained together. The potential for moving more into fusion was evident in their music right from the start. You can hear elements of just about every genre (jazz, blues, pop, rhythm & blues) intermingled amongst each song, although you must listen very carefully to hear it all. Every song serves as an excellent example of the cross pollination of genres. They were so much more than the psych-rock band that they were generally perceived as. One of the best US psych LPs ever released!

Banchee - Selftitled & Thinkin´ (Good US Psych Hardrock 1969 & 1971)

DOIS BONS VENENOS DESTA BANDA NUM FRASCO SÓ!! PSYCH ROCK AS VEZES BEIRANDO UM HARD COM GUITARRRAS BEM TRABALHADAS E AS VEZES FLERTANDO COM BALADAS MUITO LEGAIS!!

Reviewer: Greg Horn "guildx700" (waterford, wisconsin USA)I remember seeing Banchee's Thinkin' LP in the cutout bins in the early 1970's, the cover was cool looking so I bought it for fifty cents. I got it home and put it on the turntable and that was it, I was hooked! A few days later a friend of my brother comes over while I'm playing it, he was surprised to hear them on as it turns out he knew the band! IMO Thinkin' is their best effort, their first release self titled show glimpses of what was to come with The Night is Calling and Tom's Island, but whereas the rest of the LP was uneven Thinkin' simply is a tour de force of classic late 60's psych rock from the first to the last note!

I was thrilled to find it finally released as a CD with both LP's together. Sound quality is as good or better than the vinyl was and the original art for both LP covers is happily included.

This CD is a must buy for anyone into late 60's early 70's rock, a true hidden gem! Original songs, great guitar work good production and a band that sounds tight and in synch with the music. Buy it before it vanishes and is not available as is the case so often with CD's like this. Thanks for the music Banchee! One of the long-forgotten psychedelic bands from Boston, this disc contains both of their albums from 1969 and 1971. They deserved better as both releases have some excellent trippy moments with ripping lead guitar work throughout. "I Just Don't know is" from the first album is an awesome piece of guitar psych whilst the second album, recorded at Electric Ladyland studio's, ranks as one of the best early '70's US heavy guitar excursions. Well worth checking out..
