TROYA, banda obscura de krautrock formada em 1972. Influenciado pela música clássica e barroca. Lançaram seu único álbum, com meios próprios e muito pequenos, com cópias limitadas. A música é melancólicamente encantadora, com longas passagens instrumentais.
TROYA tinha um grande potencial e muito talento, mas não gravar na melhor das condições. É uma pena que a banda lançou apenas um álbum. Muito recomendado para Krautrock, Space Rock e ouvintes Sinfônicas progressistas, especialmente para os fãs do Pink Floyd e ELOY!

Download Kozmic Muffin é uma banda com apenas dois registros. Nautilus ganhou grande reputação em toda a Europa e é marcado por muitos como um pedaço prog clássico dos anos 90.
Eles começaram sua história musical em 1992 na Galicia (Espanha) quando o guitarrista Pedro Granell começou a ouvir blues, música clássica (Satie, Mussorgsky) e 70 prog como King Crimson, Hawkwind, Manfred Mann, Soft Machine ou Pink Floyd. Depois de algum trabalho solo, ele entrou em contato com Javier Vaamonde e Patxi Ortega, ambos da banda BALOWSKY. Após um ano de ensaios, eles gravaram e editaram o seu primeiro disco, 'Nautilus' (1994), um registro que se tornou uma lenda desde o início, que vendeu muito bem em círculos subterrâneos e colecionador de toda a Europa.

Download Uma das mais importantes bandas Francesas, com apenas um álbum, rarissimo até ser relançado pela Musea, hoje com o mp3 fica até complicado falar em raridade, mas quando me refiro a um álbum raro, quero dizer que é raro e dificil achar o original em lp, o mp3 veio saciar a fome de quem como eu passou anos procurando um disco, muitas vezes sem achar, ainda hoje não consegui alguns, mesmo em mp3. Voltando a banda, a formação do grupo inclui parte do Eden Rose, que também só teve um álbum gravado, o guitarrista Jean-Pierre Alarcen além de estar em ambas teve uma carreira solo bastante consistente, gravando alguns álbuns, pelo mesmo um deles devo postar ainda este mês. Adoro este disco, altamente recomendado!

The Dutch formation Pythagoras was rooted in a Dutch record shop named Moonlight Records in The Hague in the late Seventies. The owner was drummer Bob De Jong, he had played in bands like Key, Pine-Apple and he also was a studio-drummer for the Dutch label Phongram. One of the frequent visitors of Moonlight Records was keyboardplayer Rene De Haan who told enthousiasticly about his plans to make synthesizer music. His room in the house of his parents was loaded with musical equipment like the Korg MS 20 and Trilogy synthesizer, a digital Roland piano, a Solina string-ensemble and a Firstman 1024 digital sequencer. The 'musical veteran' Bob was positive about 19 year old Rene his ideas and this led to the release of the album Journey To The Vast Unknown in 1981, a private pressing of 500 copies. Bob send a few promo LP's to some known DJ's like Wim Van Putten (famous LP-Show, great for progrock freaks!), Skip Voogd and Frits Spits. Within a very short time Bob the post box in his record ship was flooded with letters from synthesizer freaks, hundreds from all over the country! They had reacted on the contact-adress that the DJ's had mentioned in their radio programms. The album was re-released a few times and eventually it sold at about 5000 copies, an incredible result for a private pressing by an unknown Dutch duo playing synthesizer music!
In 1982 Pythagoras released their second LP entitled After The Silence, the music is more close to symphonic prog, due to the use of a Mellotron by Rene and the contributions by a wide range of guest musicians Nick Blaser (violin), Martin Knaap (bass), Carolien Krul (flute) and especially Arjen Lucassen (known from Ayreon) on guitar/bass pedals and Michel van Wassem (from Dutch Genesis-inspired group Plackband) on the Novotron. The label WEA arranged the distribution and soon the 500 copies were sold out and WEA asked for an option to make a third Pythagoras LP. Unfortunately this never happened although Pythagoras performed a few times on stage, along with synthesizer player Pieter Koerts. The Pythagoras disbanded and Bob and Rene went their own way. Rene played with Cloud Nine and then went to the Art Academy, he succeeded to become painter and graphic designer (he designed the covers for Dutch band Sjako). Between 1991 and 196 he joined the band The Blue Man Can.
The two albums by Pythagoras sound totally different and a bit simple but very tasteful: the first is cosmic oriented synthesizer music and their second is a wonderful blend of some spacey synthesizer - and classical music with bombastic symphonic rock featuring Arjen Lucassen (who later got fame with his Ayreon project) delivering a Gilmourian guitar solo and Michel Van Wassem (who recently plays in the new Plackband line-up) with some majestic Mellotron eruptions. Both albums are still not available on CD.

"The Uncertainty Principle", com um som extremamente complexo, considerado um dos melhores trabalhos pós-canterbury dos últimos tempos. Com influencias do Soft Machine, National Health, The Muffins. Altamente recomendado!
A quartet from Athens-Georgia, this group managed two albums in the late 90's, but haven't been heard since. Actually, the usual prog quartet (with the bassist also doubling on sax) had started as a quintet as they also aligned a cellist, but by the debut album's release, he was gone. Their music is a rather quiet English jazz-rock, not far from Canterbury groups like Hatfield and National Health, but retaining its own spirit as well. Voted by many specialized mags, "The Uncertainty Principle" was in a lot of "top 10 of 97" lists, while the following "Memoirs" (released in 99) is actually a retrospective which contains the band's 1996 cassette tape debut in its entirety, along with three additional tracks.
According to their site, they named the band more due to a 70's US car Volaré, rather than the opera reference.

SMAK was formed 1971 in Kragujevac, the present Serbia and Montenegro, by a guitar virtuoso Radomir MIHAJLOVIC nicknamed "Tocak" (the Wheel). The first stable line-up was assembled in late 1974 including Slobodan Stojanovic (drums), Zoran Milanovic (bass), Boris Arandjelovic (vocals) and Lazar RISTOVSKI (keyboards). During 1977-78 Ristovski was replaced by first Miki PETKOVSKI and then by Tibor Levay on keyboards, while in the period 1979-81 Dado Topic (ex TIME, KORNI GRUPA) collaborated with SMAK as producer and occasional guest vocalist before the band broke-up in late 1981. The original line-up gathered again in 1986 with a new keyboardist Milan Djurdjevic, but after the release of one LP they split again. The third comeback of SMAK happened in 1992 with Ristovski again as a member, when they mostly played concerts in Serbia and issued a live album. Finally, in 1994 SMAK re-appeared again, this time along with Tocak and Stojanovic they added younger musicians: Dejan Stojanovic (second drum kit), Dejan Najdanovic (vocals), Vlado Samardzic (bass) and Milan Milosavljevic (guitar).
SMAK was celebrated for Tocak's virtuosity in guitar playing, modelled on J. Hendrix and J. Page style, and for interesting, if not always successful, fusion of hard rock, prog rock, jazz rock with strong blues backing, with Arandjelovic's falsetto vocal often used as an instrument rather than singing. "Ulazak u harem", a folk-inspired instrumental issued as hit-single in 1975, showcased Tocak as one of the guitar-heros of ex-Yugoslavian music scene of the 1970s, while albums "Crna dama" ("Black Lady") and "Stranice naseg vremena" ("The Pages of Our Time") were highly celebrated among prog fans and were even released in English versions for the Western market. Their reunion, from the second half of 1980s onward, turned the musical direction of the band into less-inspired mainstream hard rock, abandoning any prog elements. As a comparison, one can mention similarities in style with artists such as DEEP PURPLE, TASTE, TRAFFIC, DOOBIE BROTHERS, SANTANA, LEB I SOL.

Switched-On Bach is a musical album by Wendy Carlos (originally released under the name of Walter Carlos) and Benjamin Folkman, produced by Carlos and Rachel Elkind and released in March of 1968 by Columbia Masterworks Records. It played a key role in popularizing classical music performed on electronic synthesizers, which had until then been relegated to experimental and "pop" music. This fostered a significant increase in interest in electronically rendered music in general, and the Moog synthesizer in particular.
Switched-On Bach was one of the first classical albums to sell 500,000 copies. Entering Billboard's pop Top 40 charts on March 1, 1969, it climbed quickly to the Top 10; it stayed in the Top 40 for 17 weeks,[2] and in the Top 200 for more than a year. In the 1970 Grammy Awards, the album took three prizes: Best Classical Album, Best Classical Performance – Instrumental Soloist or Soloists (with or without orchestra) and Best Engineered Classical Recording.

Em 1972, o grupo lança seu primeiro álbum, chamado “Korni Grupa”. Oficialmente, este foi o quarto trabalho de música progressiva feito na Iugoslávia. Muitas pessoas tratam esse debut como uma obra-prima do gênero, com um jazz prog/fusion liderado pelos virtuosos Kovac, Bocek e Pejakovic.
“Not An Ordinary Life”, foi o segundo trabalho do banda, gravado na Itália, em 1974. Já se chamavam Kornelyans. Um excelente álbum, mantendo o nível do anterior. Discaço, altamente recomendado!
