- Superrock made in Germany - 1973 
Okey I cant find any kind of information about this band. Some sources says that they were founded in 1966 in the city Keflavik on Iceland and disbanded 1970 the same year they released their one and only album. And I think they released one album and three singles. The singer did also appears on albums with Nattura and Trubrot.
I couldnt find info at net. Any information welcome.
WOW! Now I understand why Germany its my favourite country when it comes to pumping psychadelic guitar efforts. Mix good rock with a guitar sound that reminds of Manuel Göttsching cut it down to normal length and add some crazy vocals and you got it Achim Reichel. I think this is his first album and his best in my opinion. Here is some information:
It seems Sweden's Atlas never had a very easy time of it, only releasing one album in their six-year history, 1979's Blå Vardag. Ad Perpetuam Memoriam's mid-'90s CD reissue includes several bonus tracks, including one by the post-Atlas outfit, Mosaik, formed by all of Atlas minus one of their two keyboard players, Björn Nielsen. Mosaik is a surprisingly progressive album for the time, although as Isildurs Bane proved, progressive rock didn't completely die out in Sweden in the '80s, though it really wasn't looking too well for a while. Mosaik's a bit of a mixed bag, going from gentle acoustic opener, Återfunnen, through the piano and sax duet Önnestad to the rather overlong Rhodes and MiniMoog jazz workout Re-Båpp, although overall, the band kept the quality pretty high. http://www.planetmellotron.com/revm9.htm
Formed in 1971 by the saxophonist Gilbert Holmström bass player kjell Jansson and the drummer Conny Sjökvist. Their first album was released in 1971 and are in my opinion their best one. They later changed name to Mount Everest Trio and in 1975 they released their album ”Waves from Albert Ayler” (Ayler is a big jazz legend).
somewhere it says; Sourdeline : Jeanne d'Ayme ( Discovale 77 FR ) Rarest second album of french mindblowing folk sychedelic in Emmanuel Parrenin vein with great acid parts ( electric & accoustic guitars, percus, sitar, tabla, flute, mandolin, violin... and delicate female vocals ) You see the fist ten time when you see the second only one. Great LP FOC.
Another band coming from a 60's long career, The Showmen from Naples had some hits in 1968 and 1969 with their original blend of soul, rhythm & blues and italian pop, releasing only an LP and a bunch of singles on RCA.
at 1987 an author Karl Adamek published a book about German/Turkish folk songs, and as i informed this album first appeared with this book, Three years later at 1990 album reissued and took its place in music markets. Rüzgargülü (windrose in english) was a Turkish-German music ensemble, that made their journeys thru turkish and german anonymous folk songs.at 90s they were better known with their works, concerts and research of folk music, Altough the album stands for its melodies & rhytmm (like most of the folk) lyrics takes its role in this album. it remind me other bands like Grup Yorum,Kızılırmak that i used to listen a lot in the past. I dont think this band can be named as protest folk, however there is a left wing mood can be felt with selecting of rythmms and some songs.. finaly i want to say that, i listened many songs written for Sacco & Vanzetti, but this one is the nicer & different one that i listened, I wanted to copy/paste some information for Sacco & Vanzetti at the following paragraphs; This album is enough good not to be forgotten. Enjoy!
A good korean band with members kim myung-gon, choi e-chul, kim tae-heung, lee chul-ho, lee nam-e. Sorry i couldnt find any information in net at the moment. Info on the way, so meanwhile enjoy the groove!
The story of this band started at the Chapel Farm, a farmhouse near Gravesend (Kent) were the band had their first rehearsals. It was the family home of singer Paul Petley, other musicians were Geoff Whitehorn (electric guitar), Paul Lawrence (acoustic guitar/vocals), David Metcalfe (keyboards), David Read (bass guitar) and Brian Chatham (drums), later replaced by John Webster. The lead guitar was by the promising Bob Vann but he died in a car accident, he was replaced by Pete James. The new line-up FANTASY sent a demo tape to the label Decca and changed their name in FIREQUEEN. But Polydor was also interested and they pursuaded the band to sign for them. Again the band decided to change their name, it became FANTASY, a name that fitted more to the style and flavour of the music. The debut album was called "Paint A Picture" and released in '73 (now on CD). Soon FANTASY belonged to the past, the tapes for a next album remained in the vaults of time.
Woman of the Evening Sun has a lot more singing in it than the follow up. The psychedelic vibe is in full effect; this sounds like a Korean Doors band. It's more slower paced though. The second album is faster paced too and more progressive in a sense. The music is heartfelt and very nature-esque. Beautiful Rivers and Mountains definitely portrays that well. Review by Selfmonarch
Here is one for fans of a lesser known facet of the Kraut Thing, the Eastern ethnic psychedelic fusion explored in the Seventies by such groups as Limbus, Siloah, Kalacakra...
Ultra rare - 1978 released by HP (independent label), fantastic Brazilian psychedelic gem wanted by collectors around the world. Songs composed by Hugo Filho, Ze Ramalho, Padua Carvalho. http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4001719484
Calliope was formed during fall 1996 in Pécs. The band - which was started to play in a quartet formation (cello, voice; guitar; bass and drums) - has played their debut concert at the first Anti-Drug Festival in Pécs. Since then, they play frequently in various clubs and cafeterias.
an updated better rip for this old post and mysterious band. Thanks to Andrei Solovyov!
Never released recordings from this great greek band. They played hard progressive rock. All tracks are between 1976-78 but recorded in studio in 1979. Spring of 1980 played support to Socrates. Complex rhythms, lots of guitars, mellotron and keyboards. English vocals. Anazitisi records released this for sometime ago in Lp form at small amounts. You may order one copy from here It quickly become one of my favorite, a true hidden treasure of greek rock history. This is for the friends who enjoy the yes side of prog.
Somewhere it says; "...My knowledge on this band is practically non-existent. Did these guys really exist as a band? Or were they just drafted in to cut this record. Its all very mysterious as the writing credits mainly to Eddy Grant (who also produced the lp) and there are no players listed. I'm no expert in Eddie's vocal talents...but is that him singing on this?? Sure kind of makes sense if it is. I would never associate Eddy Grant with heavy afro funk but thats the general slant of this lp - Heavy heavy organ funk that isn't so much about songs...more like grooves! Three of the tracks are over 8 minutes long so they are really jamming along here. Its hard to a fave track but 'Freedom' is possibly up there. It has a very long morose intro and then just drops into fuzz guitar that just rips into a funky rocker. Phew..." read more here
Somewhere it says "A real masterpiece From French acid folk scene. Concept album mix electronic and folk psych religious with dark atmosfer, some effects, synthe, percusions, sinister vocals, violin, alternate acoustic and electric guitar soli. Very strange album, but highly recommended. Housed in dark gatefold sleeve. INS." a hidden treasure.
hi friends, 
"Opposite Corner from Gothenburg is one of the Swedish jazz groups that have attracted most attention since the beginning of the 1970's. The musicians in Opposite Corner are not only influenced by American jazz, but also by both folk and serious music from different countries. On this record group presents for the most part original compositions by Kjell Jansson."... says one of the backcover. Well this band also new to me, i am enjoying it for a week, and its pity no more information around for this hidden treasure. Quickly became one of my fav. Enjoy!
Magenta is a Progressive Rock band from belgium which released two albums. I had luck to hear just the first if anyone have the second also then please send it into comments or to my mail RicsiBelan@gmail.com hope we will find it. Its not the same folk group Magenta and it have no connection to it
Here is a big mistake
The cover looks alike for a disco album but thats not a disco just influenced by communist colours. The album is pretty good fro the era in which the musicians lived but i not so like it i posting it cause my friend very and very like it and he want to add chance to others also to hear that good album hope you will like it as my friend.
Alfonso Noel Lovo is a musician, that appeared at Nicaraguan scene in early 70s, other than that we got this nice album. No info, no coverart around. This album is a variety and good mix of several genres funk to jazz; magic mushrooms to nicaraguan blues. A hidden treasure for eclectic tastes. Any information welcome.
Are you tired of Jazz-Rock posts on the blog? You are really tired of all these strange jazz-rock albums? So here is a healing The Elders will rock you to your bone. Thats a band from Ohio which was formed under the name: Jerry & the Others and some songs was released on compilation but ut was just Garage songs. In 1971 they released that great album a mix of blues rock hard rock and many other rock styles :) From cover you willl never say that they was a christian band
Another album to The Bridge family :) but thats by not same band. Thats by German jazz-rock band with same name to the canadian. They released just that one album. Its a great piece of jazz-rock and sometimes i feel like on a real jazz-rock party but its not a live album. The tracks are well played and somes are really great somes average but the album i very like.
