Sündenfall II (1972 German Folk Prog Jazz Rock)



MAIS UMA DA SÉRIE GARDEN OF DELIGHTS!!

VENENO RARÍSSIMO E RECOMENDADO!!
BANDA ALEMÃ QUE FAZIA UM FOLK PROGRESSIVO COM PITADAS DE JAZZ, COM INFLUÊNCIAS DO "JETHRO TULL", FLAUTAS LEGAIS, HARMONICA, PIANO, SAX, BONGO E BOA HARMONIA VOCAL E INSTRUMENTAL!! O GRUPO ANTES SE CHAMAVA APENAS DE SUNDENFALL E SE DEDICAVA EXCLUSIVAMENTE AO JAZZ!! DEPOIS MUDOU SEU LINE UP, A SONORIDADE E ACRESCENTOU O "II" NO NOME GRAVANDO ESSE SEU UNICO ALBUM EM 1972 QUE FOI LANÇADO NUMA EDIÇÃO SUPER LIMITADA A 200 CÓPIAS DO LP ORIGINAL!! A GARDEN OF DELIGHTS RELANÇOU ESSE ALBUM EM CD A PARTIR DE UM LP ORIGINAL, POIS AS MASTER TAPES NÃO FORAM ACHADAS!!

Sündenfall II from the Kevelaer area at the Lower Rhine played a mixture of folk and jazz, influenced by Jethro Tull. While their predecessors, Sündenfall, exclusively dedicated themselves to jazz, the group included folk after a change in line-up and band name (following the example of Amon Düül II). In 1972, Hubert Schmitz invited the band into his Trepitia film and sound studio in Alpen-Drüpt for free recordings, as he wanted to test the newly installed equipment after a recent move into the new location. Thus the recordings were made for the album "Sündenfall II" (Trefiton HS 1017), which was released in a small edition of 200 copies at the end of 1972. (Garden of Delights)

ROCK N ROLL CRÚ, INDISCIPLINADO E COM UM CLIMA APOCALIPTICO É O QUE TEMOS NESSE VENENO RARO E RECOMENDADO!!

BAND FORMED BY THE MUSICIANS OF THE BAND DEVIANTS!!
Many influences, from Alternative, Grunge and Hard Rock to Southern Rock, Folk Rock, Country and Blues have had a hand in shaping Todd's unique perspective and musical style. Prior to the tour these musicians had collaborated on the Think Pink solo album by Twink, former drummer of The Pretty Things, using the name Pink Fairies Motorcycle Club and All-Star Rock and Roll Band, taken from a story written by Deviants' manager Jamie Mandelkau. Twink (drums), Farren (vocals), Steve Peregrin Took (guitar) and Twink's girlfriend Sally 'Silver Darling' Meltzer (keyboards) hooked up in October 1969 for one shambolic gig at Manchester University, billed as The Pink Fairies,[1] and went on to record Farren's solo album, Mona – The Carnivorous Circus.[2] Within a few months Twink had left, followed by Farren, by which point Took had renamed the embryonic band Shagrat. In 1970 Twink recruited the remaining Deviants to a new Pink Fairies line-up.[3] Took meanwhile continued with Shagrat as a vehicle for his own songs, and the two bands would appear as separate acts at the Phun City festival that summer.

The Artwoods - 100 Oxford Street (1964-1966 UK 60s Rock)



REPOSTAGEM EM HOMENAGEM PÓSTUMA A JON LORD, O LORD DOS TECLADOS QUE FALECEU NO DIA 16/07/2012!! ESTA É A PRIMEIRA BOA BANDA EM QUE ELE PARTICIPOU NOS ANOS 60!! É PRA ESSA NOVA GERAÇÃO SABER ONDE COMEÇOU O EX-TECLADISTA DA BANDA DEEP PURPLE!! 

PRIMEIRA BANDA DE "JOHN LORD" TECLADISTA DO DEEP PURPLE!! ARTWOODS ERA O LEGÍTIMO REPRESENTANTE DO QUE DENOMINAMOS "BIG BAND"!! É SÓ OBSERVAR OS COMPONENTES DELA E VERÁ QUE ISSO É VERDADEIRO!! "KEEF HARTLEY" (JOHN MAYALL & BLUESBREAKERS), "JOHN LORD" (DEEP PURPLE), "ART WOOD" (SMALL FACES E IRMÃO DE RON WOOD)  E "MALCOLM POOL" (ACCOLADE E COLOSSEUM)!!  O SOM É MUITO BOM COM MÚSICOS COMPETENTES!! É ROCK DOS ANOS 60 DA MELHOR SAFRA COM TECLADOS, SAX E UMA SONORIDADE QUE ESTAVA BEM A FRENTE DE OUTRAS BANDAS DA ÉPOCA!! VENENO SESSENTISTA ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO!! 

REPOST IN POSTHUMOUS HONOR TO JON LORD, THE LORD OF KEYBOARDS WHO DIED ON 16/07/2012! THIS IS A GOOD FIRST BAND THAT HE PARTICIPATED IN 60 YEARS! THIS IS FOR NEW GENERATION TO KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN THE KEYBOARD EX-BAND DEEP PURPLE!

One of the main reasons behind Making Time is to cover not only the best known artists but also those who do have have the same level of awareness but that have nevertheless made an important contribution to 1960s British music. The Artwoods claim to fame was that they boasted Art Wood, brother of Ronnie, and Jon Lord, later to appear in Deep Purple. The members came from other bands. The drummer Keef Hartley had replaced Ringo Starr in Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.  
The band played on the first live edition of Ready Steady Go where they promoted their first single Sweet Mary, the opening track on this CD. However, the band never matched its live reputation gained in the pubs and clubs of London on record despite releasing an LP, an EP and a number of singles. Some sources claim that I take What I Want charted although this is not collaborated my own sources.

The band lasted until 1967 when they changed into St Valentine's Day Massacre. Keef Hartley later moved to John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Jon Lord joined the Flowerpot Men and then Deep Purple. Derek Griffiths the guitarist moved to playing sessions. Art Wood teamed up briefly with former Small Faces to form Quiet Melon with his brother Ronnie and a singer called Rod Stewart. This evolved into the Faces. 100 Oxford Street includes A and B sides of the first four Artwoods singles as well as the fifth A side I Feel Good. Other tracks are credited to the Decca release LK 4830 which could be an EP

THEM - Now And Them [1967 Psych Prog Garage Rock]



NA MAIORIA DAS BIOGRAFIAS A BANDA THEM TERIA ACABADO DEPOIS DA SAÍDA DE VAN  MORISSON, MAS A REALIDADE É OUTRA!! DEPOIS DISSO A BANDA AINDA GRAVOU MAIS QUATRO ALBUNS, SENDO ESTE O PRIMEIRO DELES COM UMA ROUPAGEM BEM MAIS PSICODÉLICA E COM ALGUNS TOQUES ORIENTAIS NUMA MISTURA ENTRE ELECTRIC PRUNES E CHOCOLATE WATCHBAND!! NA VERDADE PODEMOS PERCEBER VÁRIOS ESTILOS DIFERENTES NESSE DISCO!! RAGA ROCK, FOLK ROCK, HARD ROCK E PSYCHEDELIC ROCK!! MAIS TRÊS ALBNS VIRIAM DEPOIS, MAS INFELIZMENTE SEM NENHUM SUCESSO COMERCIAL, O QUE LEVOU A RUPTURA DA BAND EM 1972!!

Them pretty much abandoned the raucous r&b inflected blues-rock of their first recordings and went in a much more psychedelic direction. And Now And Them is a masterpiece of 1960's rock, arguably better than anything previously issued under the name Them. There are several different styles tackled on this album, including raga rock (‘Square Room’, perhaps Them’s ultimate track), folk rock, hard rock, psychedelic rock… and Them are absolutely brilliant at all of them. Three more great albums would follow, but their singular lack of success led to the inevitable breakup in 1972. 

In most rock encyclopedias, Van Morrison's departure marked the end of Them. However this is not the case. The band went on to make two LPs with Ken McDowell in the vocal spot. This, the first, is a bit of a cross-over affair as they introduce more psychedelic elements to their R&B routes. A good comparison would be someone like the pre-latin Electric Prunes or the Chocolate Watch Band. Recommended.

Ash - EP (1971 Australian Hard Rock)



VENENO RARÍSSIMO!!
HIGH RARITY!!
BANDA AUSTRALIANA QUE FAZIA UM HARD ROCK COM TOQUES STONER PSYCH, RIFFS MATADORES, BAIXO PULSANTE E INFLUENCIADOS POR HENDRIX, ZEPPELIN E JETHRO!! A BANDA SE FORMOU ATRAVÉS DE MEMBROS DA BANDA "LOTUS"!! DEPOIS O VOCALISTA "CRISTON BARKER" PARTICIPOU DAS BANDAS "FREEWAY" E "AIR SUPLY"!! JÁ O BATERISTA "DEREK PELLICI" MAIS TARDE INTEGROU A "LITTLE RIVER BAND"!! A MUSICA "MIDNIGHT WITCH" FOI ESCRITA POR "DOUG FORD" DA MASTERS APPRENTICES E FOI PRODUZIDA POR "GIL MATTHEWS" DA BANDA "THE AZTECS"!! BOM, RARO E RECOMENDADO VENENO!!

This Melbourne-based hard rock band, which operated between 1969-72, was strongly influenced by Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull. There were three different lineups; the second (1971) included several members of noted Sydney band Lotus. The central member, and the only person common to all three lineups, was vocalist Criston Barker (also known as Criston Somerset) but the second lineup is also notable for the presence of drummer Derek Pellicci, who went on to play with Mississippi and LRB. 

The second Ash single "Midnight Witch" -- written by Doug Ford of The Masters Apprentices -- was produced by Havoc house engineer Gil Matthews (The Aztecs). Ian MacFarlane in Freedom Train describes it as: " ... hard hitting prog-psych, with a series of rich, staccato riffs and a throbbing bass line. The flip side is in similar mould if a little faster."

REPOST: Mandrake - Mandrake (1978 US Hard Southern Blues Rock)



HIGH RARITY!!
ALTÍSIMA RARIDADE!!
POWER TRIO OBSCURO QUE FAZIA UM HARD ROCK SULISTA COM BOM PESO, DOSES FORTRES DE BLUES E BOOGIE E COM GUITARRAS FUZZY WAH WAH!! A DATA DA CAPA É DE 1978 MAS SE REALMENTE FOI GRAVADO NESSE ANO NÃO SABEMOS, POIS TEMOS POUQUÍSSIMA OU QUASE NADA DE INFORMAÇÃO SOBRE OS CARAS!! HÁ INDÍCIOS DE QUE TENHA SIDO GRAVADO EM 1973!! JÁ O SITE ACID ARQUIVES COLOCA O ANO DE 1977!! ENFIM...O LINE-UP DA BANDA É FORMADO PELOS IRMÃOS VALERIO, VINNY E DANNY!! VINNY É UM GUITARRISTA CANHOTO MUITO BOM E DANNY É UM BOM BAIXISTA!!   

It sounds like early-to-mid 70s heavy SOUTHERN rock with a mix of guitar styles
Screaming bar-room style hard rock, with some funk and some boogie blues thrown into the mix. A few of the cuts sound a little too over-produced, but overall, a very consistently great record. Alas, we'll probably never know the real skinny on these guys. Though released in '78, it's anybody's guess when it was recorded.

From Acid Archives
"Mandrake" 1977 (Crazy Cajun cclp-1097)
Heavy bluesy guitar rock recorded 1973. Features the Valerio Brothers, Vinny and Danny. Vinny is an incredible left-handed guitarist and his brother Danny is a very capable bassist. Produced Huey P Meaux. [RM]

THE ABSTRACT SOUND - EP (1967 US GARAGE PUNK PSYCH)



EP RARÍSSIMO!!
RAREST EP!!
BANDA FUNDADA COMO ABSTRACK SOUND E COM ESSA GRAFIA GRAVOU DOIS SINGLES EM 1966, CUJAS MUSICAS ESTÃO NESSA POSTAGEM COMO BÔNUS TRACK EXCLUSIVO DO VENENOS DO ROCK!! JÁ O SEUS DOIS PRÓXIMOS SINGLES GRAVADOS EM 1967, QUE É O EP DESSA POSTAGEM, ELES JÁ ASSINAVAM COMO ABSTRACT SOUND!! APESAR DE NO RÓTULO CONSTAR A ORIGEM DOS CARAS COMO BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, A BANDA ERA MESMO DE SPRINGFIELD, NEW JERSEY!! VENENO RARÍSSIMO E RECOMENDADO!!

The Abstrack Sound / Abstract Sound
Submitted by Chas Kit on October 23, 2007 - 10:04pm. Abstrack Sound | Abstract Sound | US | New Jersey | CBM | Gray Sounds | Sound of Sou Something of a mystery, my understanding is that although their second 45 has a Brooklyn, NY address on the label, the band was actually from Springfield, NJ. The misspelled Your Gona Break My Heart has some cool slide effects on the intro, a fine guitar break and lots of echo. It was released with the band listed as the Abstrack Sound, on the CBM label in 1966, with a moody Judge Him If You Can on the flip. On their second record, the stomping I'm Trying, they're called the Abstract Sound. This one was released twice in 1967, on the Gray Sounds and Sound of Soul labels, and was produced by E. M. Gray. Bill Monetti and C. Catena wrote their songs, along with Denis Dreher on the second 45. However, the Gray Sounds release lists Dreher as co-writing I'm Trying while the Sound of Soul release gives him co-credit on Blacked Out Mind. BMI lists him on both songs along with Monetti, and drops Catena altogether! Obviously someone screwed up the credits somewhere along the way. To make things still more confusing, the labels are reversed on my copy!

02 - The Abstract Sound - Blacked Out Min

Epsilon - First and Second Album (1971 German Hard Prog Psych Bluesy)


Epsilon - Epsilon (1971 German Prog Hard Rock)


ÓTIMA BANDA ALEMÃ FORMADA POR MICHAEL WINZKOWSKI EX-MEMBRO DAS BANDAS ORANGE PEEL E NOSFERATU!! OS CARAS FAZIAM O QUE DARIA PRA CHAMAR DE PROGRESSIVO MISTURADO COM HARD ROCK, BLUES E ALGUMA PITADA DE ORIENTAÇÃO JAZZY, PRINCIPALMENTE NO SEGUNDO ALBUM!! O EPSILON NESSE SEU PRIMEIRO ALBUM ERA CONSIDERADO O "THE NICE" DA ALEMANHA!! JÁ NO SEGUNDO, A CONVERSA FOI DE QUE SERIAM O "TRAFFIC" ALEMÃO!! MAS DEIXO CLARO DE QUE ISSO É PAPO DA MÍDIA ALEMÃ, ISSO PORQUE EU NÃO VEJO LÁ MUITA COMPARAÇÃO NESSE CASO!! VENENO ALEMÃO EM DOSE DUPLA MUITO BOM E RECOMENDADOS!!

First album of German prog-rock band "Epsilon" is definitely their best one. It's a classic example of organ-oriented monster from 70s clearly influenced by British late 60' and early 70' prog/psych movement. All songs are sang in English language and overall "feeling" of this production has nothing to do with (over)experimental Krautrock scene. This album can be easily compared with such underground, organ-oriented bands from UK as "Atomic Rooster", "Cressida" & "Beggar's Opera". Overall it's a highly enjoyable effort which should please fans of organ-driven heavy prog and classic rock. ' ozzy_tom at ProgArchives.com

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



MAIS UM DA SÉRIE GARDEN OF DELIGHTS!!
ONE MORE COLLECTION GARDEN OF DELIGHTS!!
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 JAZZ PROG!! 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)

Sameti - Sameti (1972 German Prog Rock Psych)



ESTA É UMA UMA BANDA COM ALTO PEDIGREE!! SAMETI ESTÁ DIRETAMENTE LIGADA E COMPOSTA POR MEMBROS DAS BANDAS AMON DUUL, HAWKWIND, EMBRYO E POPOL VHU!! VENENO ALEMÃO RECOMENDADO!!

A história é a seguinte!! Após a gravação do album "Yeti" da banda Amon Duul, Dave Anderson deixa a banda para se juntar ao Hawkwind!! Dieter Serfas e Christian Shart fazem o mesmo e aí os caras decidem formar seu próprio grupo chamado Sameti, em Munique, no ano de 1971!! Seu primeiro álbum lançado em 1972 para Metronome é uma grande mistura de estilos bem parecido ao que fazia Hawkwind e Amon Duul, ou seja, trippy com improvisações psicodélicas longas e algumas canções de hard rock!! Reitero que, além de pedigree, o som dos caras é uma obra do hard progressivo e do fusion rock!! 

After the recording of Amon Duul's "Yeti", Dave Anderson leaves the band to join Hawkwind. Dieter Serfas and Christian Shart do the same and decide to form their own project called Sameti in Munich in 1971.. Their first album released for Metronome in 1972 is a great mixture of Hawkwind and Amon Duul trippy styles with long psych improvisations and a couple of more structured heavy rock songs. For this first musical essay the band features members of Embryo and Amon Duul with special guests as Robert Eliscu (Popol Vuh) and Jurgen Benz. Recorded in 1974, "Hungry For Love" marks many changes in sound, the band abandons their free-form spacey rock for a conventional heavy rock'n roll. This one announces the end of the band's career.
