Wigwam - Being (1973)

Finland's WIGWAM were truly one of the pioneers of early progressive rock. The history of WIGWAM can be subdivided into two separate eras: the original or "old" WIGWAM of 1969-1974 and the "new" WIGWAM of 1974-1977. The two were dramatically different, in terms personel and overall sound. The music of this unique band is dominated by the piano and organ sounds, all of those wrapped up in a sometimes dark music filled with typical Scandinavian influences. There is some great interplay between all the musicians. It gives you the feeling they were doing this to stay warm!

Though not a classic album, "Tombstone Valentine" was the first WIGWAM album that seems to show the band members getting to grips with each ones individual musical desires. In many ways, "Fairyport" was a continuation of "Tombstone Valentine", but I would say it is a bit more experimental and progressive. Nowadays, this album is considered a classic within progressive rock circles and it has a number of features that make it stand out as one of the great progressive albums of the seventies. "Being" (1973) was the last album by the legendary Pembroke/Gustavson/Pohjola/Österberg lineup. This album is a concept album, with most of the music and lyrics written by Jukka GUSTAVSON. This is an essential album for any fan of progressive rock. In early 1975, the new lineup was up and released the album that became an instant classic, "Nuclear Nightclub". When the new titled "Dark Album" was released in late 1977, WIGWAM had ceased to exit. In the nineties PEMBROKE, REDCHARDT and GOUNDSTROEM suprised many by coming back with a third edition of WIGWAM, but that's a whole new story, to be continued... (ProgArchive)

Uno - same (1974)

UNO includes members from OSANNA for a sophisticated Italian rock with aerial flute and rageous saxophone evoking VAN DER GRAAF or OSANNA and keyboards flights ala KING CRIMSON, and other masters of this quiet and lyrical work.
All in all, there is about 10-15 minutes of interesting music here. A sub-standard album for these musicians. The conclusion is that something like half of this album is really good and classic italian prog. (ProgArchive)

Steve Hillage - Fish Rising (1975)

Once Steve HILLAGE was a member of URIEL/ARZACHEL, KHAN and the seminal space fusion band GONG. In ’75 he made his first solo album "Fish Rising", soon after he left GONG and released a serie of studio LP’s between ’76 ("L") and ’83 ("And Or Not") and two live-albums entitled "Live Herald" (’78) and "BBC Radio 1" (’92). Steve HILLAGE, ‘the hippie from outer space’, will be remembered as one of the main inventors of the space rock, his unique guitarplay inspired later progrock bands like OZRIC TENTACLES and PORCUPINE TREE.

The first solo-album "Fish rising" is the HILLAGE’s most acclaimed record but my favorite is "Live Herald". This is a great and stunning live-recording with different line-ups, including drummer Clive Bunker (ex-JETHRO TULL) and bass player Colin Bass (later joining CAMEL). The music shows HILLAGE’s spectacular, often distorted and spacey effects and spectacular flights with the synthesizers (often the Minimoog). The climates shifts from dreamy of mellow to up-tempo and bombastic but it remains melodic and harmonic, not as complex and adventurous as GONG. (ProgArchive)

Renaissance - live at Carnegie Hall (1976)

Não sei porque demorei tanto pra postar um álbum do Renaissance, sendo esta uma de minhas bandas preferidas, não sei mesmo! Enfim...

Este álbum gravado ao vivo em 76 reuni em versões espetaculares o que de melhor (ou quase) a banda produziu em seus primeiros discos.

Não há nada de novo a ser dito desta grande banda, Annie Haslam é genial, uma das melhores vozes do prog mundial.

Falando um pouco do álbum, pra quem ainda não teve a oportunidade de ouvir, vou falar apenas do disco 2 com suas duas faixas, apenas duas faixas, uau! Duas maravilhosas canções interpretadas de forma magistral, com solos gigantescos em Ashes are Burning, Scheherazade é uma musica espetacular retira do, pra mim, melhor disco da carreira do grupo.

Um álbum pra ser ouvido muitas vezes, sem parar! Altamente recomendado!

Crucis - Kronologia (Boxset/Compilation) (1995)

Banda Argentina de Buenos Aires formada por Gustavo Montesano (baixo / vocais), Anibel Kerpel (teclados), Pino Marrone (guitarra / vocais) e um baterista do Uruguai Gonzalo Farrugia (Psiglo).

O grupo durou de 74 à 77 e foram gravados dois álbuns "Crusis" de 76 e "Los Delirios Del Mariscal" de 77.

A música tem um som característico dos anos setenta lembrando o som feito pela banda anteriormente postada aqui The Nice e Focus.

Dos dois álbuns foi editada uma "coletânea" que traz os álbuns na integra, "Kronologia", que faz deste um disco indispensavél.

A música instrumental é forte com ênfase nos teclados (organ, string-ensemble, synthesizers, Steinway - and Fender Rhodes piano), num ritmo poderoso e aventureiro, com vocais em espanhol.

As composições são dinâmicas com surpreendentes pausas e com muita guitarra léctrica (muitas vezes espectaculares wah-wah) e o teclado é cativante.

Em seu segundo álbum as faixas já estão com mais solos e uma forte influência jazzrock do mestre holandês FOCUS.

Altamente Recomendado!!

Bem vejamos...Este é o álbum Aunt Mary de 1970 e também o Whispering Farewell de 1974, como vocês mesmos poderam conferir no set list de ambos, as mesmas canções, a mesma ordem e tal, o motivo disso acontecer não sei...Resumindo o disco é bom! Pode baixar sem nenhum receio de perder seu tempo!

Um dos primeiros e por muitos considerado um dos melhores grupos de prog da Noruega. Sua música é uma mistura de hard, combinado com claras influências do gênero sinfônico. O som mais sinfônico porém, não apareceram até seu terceiro e último álbum de estúdio, "Janus".

One of the early and by many considered to be one of Norways definitely best prog bands. Their music is a mix of heavy hard-rocking tunes, combined with clear influences from the symphonic genre. The more symphonic sound however didn't appeared until their third, and last studio album, "Janus".

Garden Wall - Principium (1993)

Conceptual heavy prog band with a strong, intricate music, with a wide spectrum of feels and textures. The keyboards give the final touch, and the guitars are extremely heavy and crunchy. As a matter of fact, these Italians are, in my opinion, the most innovative and original contemporary progressive band.

"Principium" and their fourth album "Chimica" can be called stylistically as being somewhere in the middle between classic prog-rock and prog metal, with the former nearer to the classic prog-rock genre. An interesting and original way. Worth a shot!

Metal Progressivo Italiano, muito bom!

Jonesy - No alternative (1972)

JONESY were an early 70's band in the style of KING CRIMSON but with the unusual element of electric trumpet from Alan Bown. Other band members were John Evan-Jones - guitar & backing vocals, Jamie Kaleth - lead vocals & keyboards (including some excellent Mellotron), Gypsy Jones - lead vocals, bass guitar & recorders and Plug Thomas - percussion and backing vocals.

They recorded three albums on the Dawn Label "No Alternative", "Keeping Up" and "Growing". All are strong with the aforementioned KING CRIMSON influences. All can be approached with a degree of assurity but "Keeping Up" is probably the strongest of the three. All were reissued on CD by Korean label S-Wan.

Strongly recommended..!

Gazpacho - Firebird (2005)

As their name suggests, GAZPACHO are an eclectic mix of ingredients: a bit more accessible than RADIOHEAD, more diversified than MARILLION and more proggy than COLDPLAY. Their original line-up consisted of Jan H. Ohme on vocals, Jon A. Vilbo on guitars, Thomas Andersen on keyboards and Roy Funner on bass. Since their first album in 2002, the band has managed, promoted and produced all of their albums (total of 3).

All are very accessible, made up of tracks averaging 5 minutes, and their commercial potential is undeniable. What strikes the listener on all of them are Ohme’s vocals whose soothing, melancholic (almost slurred) voice dominates all tracks; it rises cleanly and clearly above the keyboards and lush (at times roaring) guitars. The drum machine takes some getting used to but gives the music a laid-back, almost trip-hoppy feel. Don’t expect any fiery solos or displays of technical skills here: this style falls in that grey area between prog and alternative rock and doesn’t claim to be anything more. Altogether moving, intriguing and well produced.

Fans of RADIOHEAD, latter-day TALK TALK and Hogarth-era MARILLION should check these guys out.

Triode - on n'a pas fini d'avoir tout vu (1971)

Aos primeiros acordes de magic flower a impressão é ..."Ué, um disco do Jethro Tull que nunca ouvi?!"... O famoso parece, mas não é! Embora remeta ao som do Jethro, não é uma cópia. Os musicos são bem competentes, guitarra marcante, flautista virtuoso, vale a pena conferir, além de ser um disco extremamente raro!

Anyone's Daughter - Piktors Verwandlungen

The band’s musical peak is arguably their third release Piktors Verwandlungen, a ranging experimental concept album based loosely on Herman Hesse’s novel “Pictor’s Metamorphosis”, a brooding lament of lost innocence and spiritual exploration. This was also the band’s first recording in their native German tongue.
