2. AREA Arbeit macht frei 1973
3. BANCO (DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO) Io sono nato libero 1973

No Mignight, no Crimson Glory.
Neil Turbin was THE ONE!
What followed is utterly forgettable.

Strongly tied to the alt.version of Porcupine Tree and with a nod to Radiohead, they soon became a bore to my ears. I personally have only kept the 3000 Days compilation for the very rare occasions...
A classic of the genre.

All out thrash attack with one of the bands that were the real thing back in the days...

Happy 25th Birthday! Congrats to the originators and moderators and a big thank you to all for contributing.
A good thing in order to avoid the filler that bloated too many of the 90s CD recordings. Few albums justified the "over 40 mins" lengths.
Fripp & Eno's albums were definitely a huge influence on that one. I would also state Heldon if I knew that they were familiar with them back at the times.
A pivotal figure in the evolution of krautrock. We don't see such visionary artists in these days of artistic convenience.
First two albums were great and a soundtrack to my teenage years. Also, some of their more radio friendly albums (Chase The Dragon, On A Storyteller's Night, Lost On The Road To Eternity, The Serpent...
Jammy stoner rock or hippie retro doom. Though you won't find any virtuosic elements in both.

To me as well, Thin White Rope were the best band of that specific scene (in a wider way, as they had a more "desert" sound).
Book III has also many of the ideas encountered in I & II. Such a gargantuan piece of work, no matter how pleasurable it might sound upon first listen, cannot hold repeated revisits without the...
They missed Metallus. To me the best traditional doom album of the year.

Good news that they have a 3rd album to be expected soon.
Dream Death - Journey Into Mystery
Nice revisit of a seminal record for the "other" metal scene.
The only ones worth owning i.m.o.
This had been the reissue of the year for me.

A snoozefest.
I was after them in real time. I'm still keeping Emergency Third Rail Power Trip (their classic release i.m.o.) and the mini LP Explosions In The Glass Palace. Dave Roback has co-written their best...
Both albums are excellent. To my ears their debut is a classic of UK's 60s psychedelia.
HALLOWEEN's Merlin & Le Festin are all good albums and still keepers for me. Can't say the same though for their first two. They hit near the "atrocious" category.
Rum Sodomy & Lash and If I Should Fall from Grace with God have classic status albums to my ears.
Without David Roback it would be hard to digest.
A usual year just like everything post 2010. Albums that make a difference to my ears and are keepers are in the 20max to 10min, after listening to about 300 new releases.
One of the greats. Sad day indeed...
Rod Stewart - Smiler
Glen - I Can See No Evil
Exek - The Map and the Territory
Mick Greenwood - Living Game
Gate - Red Light Sister
Asgard - For Asgard
Philippe was always over exaggerating in his pricing policies. Especially in the pre-internet days.
Anekdoten, Anglagard, Landberk, Deus Ex Machina, Tipographica, Ole Lukkoye, Korai Orom, Porcupine Tree (till 1996), Boud Deun, Zypressen, Il Trono Dei Ricordi, Spacious Mind, Devil Doll, Höstsonaten,...
1. Because wider audiences didn't give a damn for progressive rock back at the 90s (not that they care nowadays).
2. PORCUPINE TREE became famous post 1999, when they abandoned prog/psych/space...
Back to the trio form, there are two additional german obscurities to be checked out.

From the newer scene:
Moundrag from France (an organ/drums duet)

Steamboat Switzerland (as a trio)
Immortal "At The Heart Of Winter". Cold as ice.
His legendary 1974 jam with the Cosmic Couriers crew (Gille Lettmann, Dieter Dierks, Jürgen Dollase, Harald Großkopf and Stephan Kaske), is finally released almost 50 years after its recording. I've...
Can't understand... is it so expensive to press a normal silver CD nowadays and they're after the CDR thing? I doubt it will cost them considerably more.
One of the greatest, indeed. I'm lucky to have seen her several times since the mid 80s...
There is a strong mid-period Gryphon meet Fruupp influence on this one, with a Jethro Tull "Songs From The Wood" era vibe. I like that direction.
They were Yes fans...
Their first three albums are among the best art rock gone new wave examples, one will encounter.

Indeed. Very welcomed release that rewarded the wait.
The album bares a resemblance to the acid leaks of the Welsh band Man, which works in favor of the final result.
True. From Deceptive Bends and onwards, only few individual tracks justify their songwriting legacy.
If in watch for extreme rarities, there is ''Threads of life'' (1972) by UK's Alco. Interesting dated listen, but proceed with care cause it is heavily inconsistent. However, the album's strong...
I feel very lucky to have caught him live. RIP to a great player.
"Impossible Tightrope" has a huge Gong etc. vibe...
Excellent album and a wonderful addition to a great catalogue of releases.
Couldn't agree more.
If you were a pissed-off, disoriented teenager with a strong like for the androgynous looks of Bowie and the oversexualised rock'n'roll fury of Mick Jagger, plus with a...
The Carnival Bizarre
There is also the duet of their friends (and occasional collaborators) Cosmic Gardeners.
Is he on Facebook? I think he was too old for that shit.
New Mammatus out.
https://mammatus.bandcamp.com/album/expanding-majesty
Conventum, Connivence, Providence, Mamma Non Piangere come to mind....
One of the best bands of all times for me.
