Forgotten jazz rock album

[ashratom]

I second that motion.
Names, man...we need NAMES!

Careful what you wish for

[ashratom]

True. Just to second Tom's opinion:

Exil (Germany)

That's such a great choice Spyros! I'd love to see that one on CD someday.

[ashratom]

Since it was just reissued on CD, and I haven't seen it mentioned yet, be sure to get the Phase - Midnight Madness album. Ken has two samples here: https://www.lasercd.com/cd/midnight-...imited-edition

Here's one of them from YT:

Let em rip Tom!

And even after 3 straight months, I'd only have posted half of what you've already done in the past!

Hiseman, Carr, Dauner, Mariano, Wheeler, etc.....

Good stuff.

On a general note regarding this thread: The obscure jazz rock / fusion waters are deep. I could probably name one a day and keep this thread up for months. Just Germany alone would blow your mind, and most of them are not on CD! And the ones that are - they're obscure too! For me, it's exciting to know there's a lot of great music like this out there still to be discovered.

Here is one that should not be that hard to track down and it was released on CD:

Threads are often like a good improvised solo; you never know where they're going to go.

Barry Miles has a bunch of amazing jazz-rock/fusion albums that are yet to be issued on CD. "Sky Train" was issued on CD a couple of years ago by Wounded Bird, but the Silverlight albums are even better in my opinion.

[Zalmoxe]

Excellent thread. Ordered the Eero Koivistoinen (I had "The Front is Breaking" but not his "3rd Version") and the Joe Chambers albums. Like someone else said, keep them coming.

[nosebone]

I prefer there first s/t LP but this has moments of trippy greatness also,

This thread is reminding me of the small fortune I spent on mailordering so many of these records back in the 90s. The heyday of the kozmigroov mailing list! Here's my favourite release on the Mainstream label. Not my choice track but it provides a flavour.

Give this a try, sorry I dont have a you tube of it.

Today's entry is:

Mosaik - No. 1 (1977 Germany). No CD

[nosebone]

Nice Tom, that Mosaik is new to me.

Here's my contribution for today.

Everything about this one shot is bizarre, which is just how I like it!

My entry for the day, Neo from France. One single album from 1980, but what an album that is.

Outstanding... Thanks for that, retro and innovative. I like it.

Chris, that Lightmen Plus One is cool. Looks like they have another title - and also one under just the Lightmen name. Definitely in that Strata East school. That opens up another couple of hundred albums. Next thing you know Ken will be in here dumping Japanese Kosmigroov titles left and right. Yep - we'll be here for years with this.

Eddie - Love Neo and the Frob that you posted yesterday. I have both of those CDs in the collection. Great stuff all around.

Tom I would except I can't figure out how to embed videos.

[ashratom]

Ken - see that thing that looks like a film strip in the icon bar (next to last on the right). Click that - copy in the Youtube link. Done. It's a lot easier than it used to be on the old PE.

[nosebone]

Dump it Ken, dump it!!!

One of the heaviest jams from Masabumi "Kochi" Kikuchi, from 1981's Susto:

Dam you all to heck! Placed an order with importcds.com today for 5 CDs, 4 of which I discovered in this thread (including the Szobel CD; the other was for the two Dreams CDs, from the Brecker Brothers thread).

Seriously, I love threads like this, because discovering "new" music is so fun. Wish I had time to actually listen to it all.

Today's contribution, Mass Media from Italy. One live album recorded in 1978. Sound quality is very poor and that's a pity, because we are dealing with some seriously crazy chops here. Listen for yourself:



Actually, looking into this band, it appears that they have a comeback album "Criptoidea" released in 2007. I didn't know about it. Time to track it down.
