Getting it on with Prog

BTW - '
SOFT SHOE -FOR THOSE ALONE why has this not yet been reissued? ' I see this on SynPhonic's website for sale, the owner Greg Walker is a good dude and been at this obscure prog thing for some time. http://synphonicmusic.com/catalogs-prog.html |
FROB-SAME '71 all-instrumental heavy guitar/organ tour-de-force with exploito feel to it,sort like Blue Phantom. Also reminds of Deep Purple, Frumpy and Ache EXIL. This reminds me of the Swiss(?) group EXIT-SAME. A super lp with real "German" sound on the English vocals. Although the vocalist is not near as bad as on Tyburn Tall, some might find him too quirky/emotive/amateurish. (But I LOVE that style of vocalist.) The lp starts off with about 20 seconds of guitar taken just about straight from Who's Pinball Wizard"! Great synth sound on this lp too. ... TRITONUS two lps in the ELP-school (also from Germany like: Triloy, Triumvirat, Rejoice, Sixty-Nine, Tetragon/Trikolon, Amos Key) Not too origional but good nonetheless. ............... get down boy! |
POHJANTAHTI - SAME (Finland) Your at once thrown into some North Eurasian shamanistic mindfeck, beating your great keure elk-skin drum, yelping chants, singing runes,casting incantations up onto the Aurora Borealised Lapp tundra. 6 members - bassist and psychedelic guitar from Piirpauke, churchy organ (doesnt come in till halfway into lp), piano, percussion, sax, clarinet, Irish harp , what sounds very much like trad Finn kantele, you even get a short bit of kazoo played as if it were trumpet! its a '86 release -although it sounds very seventies. This lp is balls to the ground all the way,at the flip of a coin turning from somber almost Accadian folk music to wild, irreverent psych (where they are obviously enjoying themselves). Just what is this? Wyrd psychfolk? World music?-but from some ancient level, music totally desensitized to trhe modern age. Think Atman, or the weird imp-ish vocal histrionics of that Latvian (Estonian?) group that starts with the letter "I".(yeah, you have no idea cos your an audiofool.) Parts of this have yours truely feeling like he is drugged and sleepily, slowly falling down some demon-faced shaft -or have I been playing too much Tomb Raider game on the PC of late? Get savage. Get pagan. You NEED to hear this. Get down boy! |
