I'm a candidate for ancient fossil. Mainly regarding the music business because I began traveling in bands ( original and cover), in the mid 70s at age 18.

This is another lifetime. It wasn't in...

I agree that Man were one of those bands. Particularly on Greasy Truckers Party, Man , Are You Settling In, Be Good To Yourself, Back Into The Future...where synthesizer parts and other keyboard...

LA Woman deeply affective to Doors fans and definitely a surprise. The clarity of the recording and the overall impression it left on people was generally of bewilderment and or curiosity.

Over the last 5 or 6 years they've appeared but they are scarce. I was surprised to see the Brand X Nuclear Burn anthology released that way, but there have been other releases. Years ago I...

The problem with getting this stuff released could possibly be tied into the legal matters with record labels. An artist like Stomu Yamashta composed different kinds of music and probably signed...

Will check this out

I remember hearing the Vertigo albums in the 70s. I found their albums in cut-out bins. They don't impress me as they did in the 70s. I liked "Water Curtain Cave" which reminded me of the style on...

Back in the early 70s when I heard Lizard I was under the impression that the laughter ending Indoor Games and the agonizing scream in Cirkus were intentionally part of the songs to give them...

Jade Warrior were interested in unorthodox recording methods perhaps dating back to the early albums. I recall they used wet bath towels to slam against a wall ..which created a sound they were...

What a strange album and I love it. Some of the space style whispering reminds me of Gilli Smyth. The Jazzy aspect feels sporadic and bizarre.

The fat boy jewel case.. 😃 😀 😄 Yes I have this and it is in fact annoying.

Thank you so much for posting this information. Sunrise From The West Sea...and most of what you've listed I don't have. Prison Song I do, but not the others. Where can I buy these? Thanks..

Seasons looks great...but I have these on cd. I'm more interested in his early period. He released some albums which were more Avant-garde and probably the last of these being Red Buddha, ( not to...

A Prog community is a wonderful experience at a gathering. The time I saw Nektar at the War Memorial in Trenton N.J....My brother is asking me about a Jade Warrior album and this guy overheard our...

Lolol!!! This is so true...

Great information!

I like Dark Shadows...a horror soap opera style for sure. It has its flaws and sometimes the acting is outright poor. Sometimes the script is lousy and the concept of the story stupid...sometimes...

Dark Elf...that is interesting...wow!! Fascinating!

The first time I saw The Rolling Stones was probably on Ed Sullivan in the early 60s...or 65' actually. Whatever year it was...I was most likely between 7 and 8 years old.

The early 60s was so...

Jimi Hendrix Experience- Electric Ladyland
Jeff Beck- Blow By Blow
The Beatles- White Album
ELP- Tarkus
King Crimson- In The Court Of The Crimson King

I still love these 5 particular...

I live in a "hicksville" kind of town where people are generally like that. I'm not saying that their personal preferences in music are bad. I'm merely pointing out that they are all alike..and...

Thanks..

You have been a tremendous help! Thank you so much..

Wow!! This is insane! If I lived in a mansion /bahia vista ...wherever..whatever...I could hang or mount a few of them up on walls. It's a no brainer that it would be out of price range and a non...

Wow...thanks so much!

Instrumental piece...hope you like it...

Tom Evans was in a tight squeeze because supposedly he had collected the royalties from Apple and then he landed in a position where he had to pay back the with..held..royalties to the other band...

I don't believe there is another band in Rock history to unfold that tragedy.

The only band I can think of would be Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green had a bad Acid trip and ended up joining a cult...

I wasn't a fan of Go...that's just me...but I have several Stomu Yamashta cds.

On the Wim Wenders film Wings Of Desire ..Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds give a live performance and one of the songs is about a carnival. In that particular song Nick Cave sounds like Jim Morrison. ...

He's depressing. Well....he can be. Songs like River Man, Time Of No Reply, and certain others. I recall being a young teenager and buying his albums in the record store in 1970...71?...and there...

Yes that's so true...about that double-A- side single. That's very unusual to occur in Rock Music. Maybe occasionally it did with other bands...I can't completely rule that out, but again I believe...

Yes...Ed Sciaky was very supportive of Progressive Rock. So sad to hear of his passing. He used to interview important people

Interesting info!

Ok...I see. They were co-headliners.

😃 😀 😄

Interesting article. Hit records become a grind for the artist . It's beyond boredom and further down the road to hatred. That's the writer's problem and I'm sure whatever condition they have there...

Yes ..but not released. Unfortunately a lot of it had to do with disagreements between band members and a lawsuit between managers . 😃

The side to the business that affected me most was seeing...

I lived in South Jersey during the early 70s. Between ages 14 and 17 I was studying Classical guitar..so I got involved with the music programs and played electric guitar in a few Prog type cover...

Yeah...that sounds typical. Sometimes I wonder what these record executives were hearing that was so important. They think the guitar is too loud or too tame and always trying to stick a contrived...

That's interesting..thanks for the reply!!

I love ..The Relic by Chuck Van Zyl. That's mysterious and creepy in sections and it's contained within itself yet releases a dark feeling to the listener. He truly nails this style and he's...

Yes...Chuck went the distance! He created more opportunity for the music to circulate. He also recorded some fine Electronic albums himself.

It is a glorious work of art and music is an art ...and this particular album from Eloy gives me the impression that the band really worked hard on this album...although it's also very possible that...

Yes.. I agree with that! ...I have a Japanese mini version of Cyborg. The front cover has an alien/creature unlike the other cover which is a shot of Klaus Schulze. Do you remember back in the day...

When I was a teenager in the 70s I was hooked on Tangerine Dream. They lured me in completely. I had albums like Sorcerer, Stratosphere, Phadrea, Zeit, Atem...and Electronic Music itself was...

Klaus Schulze- Cyborg
Ashra Temple- Walkin' The Desert ( Ashra)
Tangerine Dream- Sorcerer
Guru Guru- 30 Jahre Live ( disc 1)

Bare Wires ..what a strange album. I love the way Mick Taylor plays on that album.

They were probably fans of Prog . That's always possible and maybe they learned stuff along the way. The harmony lead guitar section of this piece reminds me of Wishbone Ash. The backing instruments...
