Not exactly new, having been recorded in 1979, but never released until now is Pool Of Sound, a short lived band formed by Charles Dickie just after Van Der Graaf had broken up. It's surprisingly...

New album from Panzerpappa with guests - Skeringspunkt. They've added an accordionist and a flute player and made a live album that combines a more folk influence to their music. The album is...

Which is the only one I already have...

Yes, as I said, the Alice in Wonderland album isn't listed on Discogs, and none of the albums you've listed are actually for sale.

Has anyone heard the various albums Lars Hollmer made with Wolfgang Salomon? (of Munju, Von Zamla and a couple of Hollmer's solo albums). I used to have one called -'Luna - small step for Mankind'...

Thanasis Papakonstantinou - Urbanum

A very odd new album by Greek singer/songwriter Thanasis who has had along career singing mainly traditional Greek folk music. Howeer, this is is big leap away...

I won't spoil her fun by telling her this. I think the sensation of having an object with a cover and the lyrics printed on it is novel and appealing to her.

There may be a different reason for buying CDs -my 13yr old grandaughter asked for a CD player and some CDs for Christmas. Not for any reasons of nostalgia, but that she likes to lsiten to music as...

Jon Evans, seen here with Tori Amos, but he's also done some great work with Rabbit Rabbit Radio.

How about Chou Pahrot? Scottish band from 1979 which sound a bit like East of Eden, some say Captain Beefhart. They only released one album and one single on a tiny label and its never been reissued...

I've struggled to find much at all this year that I like. I've listened to a lot but everything sounds similar to something I already have. These are all that i've bought that were released in 2023:...

I don't see Van Der Graaf on there -plenty on various tracks - Childlike Faith in Childhoods End and Wondering spring to mind.

Peter Hammill did just one track 'This Side of the Looking Glass' from Over.

There was a cameraderie between these early bands that show up in the lyrics- on 'Moon in June' (radio version), Robert sings 'To all our mates like Kevin; Caravan; the old Pink Floyd' and on...

The first track I ever heard by Caravan was their version of Soft Machine's 'Feelin, Reelin, Squeelin' which I thought was great and it lured me in to Caravan - I didn't hear the Softs version until...

The Rutles did some very good parodies, not of actual tracks, but they wrote new songs with definite hints of the originals -my favourites are the Shangri-la/ Joe Public single

...

Lots of talk about Wet Leg, but have you heard Big Moon? I caught their recent Radio6 performance by chance and was quite impressed at their professionism, but looking them up, they've been around...

Listened a lot to Domi & JD Beck...Fusion Drums and keys duo...one major reference is Mats & Morgan, but recently I hear also Alan Gowen in the way Domi builds up her melodic and harmonic...

1969 - I was 15, living in England and buying my first albums, so the few I could afford that year were, and remain, very important:

Caravan -Ist
Van Der Graaf Generator- Aerosol Grey Machine...

Not one, but two new albums from Viv Stanshall! One is Rawlinson's End - a second album of spoken word and tunes about Sir henry but taken largley from the exerpts that appeared on the John Peel...

[QUOTE=NogbadTheBad;1179463]New Black Country New Road coming out in a few days.

This is a live album from December performances. All new material.



Thanks -just watched the video and I'm...

Just been looking back through all the old posts here and I can't see any mention of Klotet, surely one of the finest of the more recent Swedish bands? They made three excellent instrumental albums,...

I’ve been trying to track down all the tracks Albert has done, which aren’t on his eleven albums. He used to offer a bonus downloadable track if you bought an album from his website, but these have...

Well it happenned and Ukraine was quick to comment in an amusing way. "The Ukrainian ambassador, Sergiy Kyslytsya, was the last to speak and used the opportunity to draw on Pink Floyd’s musical past...

It's interesting to see that most people on here know what a 'Baker's Dozen' is, as I wasn't sure if was just an English expression. However, I've not heard it used since my childhood, when my local...

Yes, exactly that.He read all the words out exactly as on the record, but seemingly oblivious to the fact that each instrument he announced wasn't the one that followed. I couldn't decide if he was...

Strangely enough, there is a very similarly titled album around by this group of Zappa fans: https://www.discogs.com/release/3815608-The-Muffin-Men-Bakers-Dozen

Your comment about Clark, made me wonder what he did after Bruford, and I was surprised to find he became the guitarist in Cliff Richard's backing band for many years and a few studio sessions for...

Sorry! Didn't realise there were two. I was searching on Bandcamp for Jack Songs and came across this. A happy accident.

I heard a tiny snatch of this when it was first released, then I went into Virgin Records and asked if I could hear some more of it before buying. In those days they would often put an album on over...

I heard this when it was just out and after I was well aquaninted with the other two. I was a bit disappointed with it, partly because of the recording quaility and partly because of Jeff's singing....

Well that depends on your tastes -I loved Blackbox but don't like this new one. For me, Blackbox and Twilight Cinema are the best, with the first two being more noisy and I only like a couple of...

Yes it was the Roundhouse for Hatfield -I did see a few people at the Rainbow, notably Yes on their Topographic Oceans tour with all the scenery and also Weather Report, but not Hatfield. Now I had...

Now you've got me digging up memories of my youth! I first heard Egg on John Peel and bought Polite Force first at Fine Rcords in Brighton Square. There were so many good record shops in Brighton...

I'm going to say Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp, seen in London last Tuesday. I've seen plenty of other bands over the years but I don't think any of them beat the Orchestre for musicianship...

I've only just spotted that this gig (part of a tour) is for October 2023, not next week! It doesn't seem sensible to be scheduling gigs that far off at his age.

Looks like Fripp and Toyah have decided to makea show out of their Sunday videos -I've just found they're playing at my local theatre in Shrewsbury next week, a venue that normally only does family...

While you're all waiting for the box, you could do worse than have a listen to some of the later Muffins material -they did four studio albums (of which I think the first three are superb, the...

I believe the tradition of extra tracks on Japanese releases goes back a long way - they never had a singles market there, and so when US or Euopean albums were released in Japan they generally added...

For those who like tuned percussion, I can highly recommend Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp -in their big band version they are a 14 piece (imagine Pierre Moerlen's Gong and the Ordinaires...

The Samuel Jackson Five opened their self-titled album with a track that resembled Pierre Moerlen's Gong:

...

Glad to see the Passage mentioned! Definitely in the 'art rock' genre . I still like most of their stuff, with the exception of their last Enflamme, which was mostly too dancey for me. One of the...

'Quite good'? Simply astonishing! And what's with the angled frets and pickups? - not seen a guitar like that before.

I rather like Placebo's version too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH6AOaqVsGA

Good point - I hadn't checked the dates!

Not a bad article and some thought has been given to the choices - I was struck by the reference to Return to Forever's 'Romantic Warrior' being an influence on 'Relayer' . Did Yes ever listen to...

Not heard of them before, but I'm listening right now and I can see why you liked them! Reminds me of the Bob Lazar Story. (Look them up on Bandcamp if you don't know them.)

I don't whether you'd consider Vortex 'weird' or not, but it's a rare example of very austere composed serious music that I think is on a par with Henry Cow's Western Culture:
...

Thanks for that -a great interview. Dave is an intelligent speaker and the conversation flowed naturally, mainly I think, because you didn't ask anything he might take umbrage at and because your...

I played it recently and it still sounds great. I think it's their best album by far and the quality of the recording was great and still sounds crisp today. Has it been surpassed? Not really -there...

What about Polite Refusal's (Vezhlify Otkaz) 'War Songs' album? I don't think it's specifically anti or pro war but it's certainly related . Titles such as 'Infantry in the trenches' and...

That was astonishing! Completely uncategorizable, which is how I like things. Thanks.

Not with me its not. I'd rate those two as amongst my favourites, along with No Make Up and Kaka. I didn't like the free improvisation and silly voice side of things and the earlier albums had more...

Yes it's a good one, and the accompanying DVD is fun too!

I'd forgotten about that one, but today I had a dig and found it down the back of the internet. I have to say it was pretty poor - not much in the way of drums and a lot of singing. In my opinion you...

Thanks for your kind words, and I agree that Waiting for a Miracle is a great album, one I still listen too and which doesn't seem to date. I thought My Mind's Eye was a great return to form after...

Interesting to see Blur discussed on here. I can't see any realtionship to prog other than that Albarn's Dad promoted a French tour by Soft Machine in their early days! But they were the first band...

Ah yes! I'm English (and old) but I'd completely forgotten about that show until you mentioned it!

'Digital copies are of course available'? Where? My point was that only the latest one is available as a download on Bandcamp, not the other three.

There have been four Manna/Mirage CDs, all of them sold out very quickly. Two of them are currently for sale on Discogs for $90 and $100 each. For some reason only the latest is on bandcamp, the...
