I go to record shows in Atlanta now and then. It’s gotten so I know which vendors I like will be where. One guy sells a ton of prog CDs. Anytime I’m in the mood to expand my Kraan, Eloy, etc collection, he’s got the goods.
Still, having online outlets like Discogs has lessened the excitement of such shows. Sometimes I wish I were more social. I could talk to and meet more people at places like this if I was. Edited by HolyMoly - March 16 2019 at 16:47 |

Always like reading your comments. Chelsea Wolfe’s Abyss album is in my collection, only one I’ve heard, and I dig the heaviness of it. I’ve always been attracted to artsy goth girls like her, though they never gave me the time of day in high school Smoke sounds like a lot of fun. I have an album by a group from the early 70s(?) called Sweet Smoke. |

Thanks! Abyss was the first thing I heard from Chelsea, a "Spotify on the subway" deal, and I wasn't ready for it. I felt so morose when I got home from work, and was a bit pissed at that album for making me feel that way, but I knew something was up in that I couldn't remember the last time an album had that level of an emotional punch on me. I checked out Apocalypsis the next day and that one hooked me in bigtime. After a week I was ready for Abyss again and bought the vinyl for it, along with all of her others. Goth girls...I had some goth girl friends in high school, there were quite a few up in Montreal; we talked music a lot, but in the end I never got past friend with any of them. I didn't look anything like some teenage Peter Murphy too say the least. What impressed me a lot about The Smoke was that while the singer had that trippy laid-back Marty Balin voice, he took it a bit to the next level of talent. The man was spot-on in delivery...when he sings about growing some green on his windowsill...he means it with gusto! Will check out Sweet Smoke, the name demands it. Today in the car with the family: Porcupine Dream - Stupid Dream: My wife skipped "Don't Hate Me" at about the 2/3 mark. Later on she skipped another tune, so I had to tell her not to skip "Stranger by the Minute". I love the bass on that one. The kids liked "Piano Lessons" a lot. My wife liked "Pure Narcotic". Norah Jones - The Fall: Mellow stuff, but the go-to album for Norah since I can stay awake throughout, which is a good thing when driving. Made me want to check out her "Chasing Pirates" video when we got home...she's so gorgeous in that one.

Friede and I are currently listening to this: a solo album by Jean-Jacques Kravetz, the keyboarder of Frumpy. I especially like the drumming on this album

Yeah, Jim! I'm just on a nightshift block, and I usually dig out a lot of `comfort albums' to ease into the start of each night! The Sixties stuff usually covers that for me Last night's choices, with a couple of Italian repeats that I'm enjoying immensely at the moment: The Doors – The Soft Parade Led Zeppelin - II Rick Wakeman – Journey to the Centre of the Earth Jadis - Fanatic I Raminghi – s/t Osanna - Palepoli Latte e Miele - Papillon Samadhi – s/i |

Got that one on vinyl, mate, it's a wonderful album. You've got me itching to dig it out again! |

I've just discovered them over the past couple of years via a guy at work who is now a buddy and we go together all the time. I am alike also, not a real social guy. Anyway, today's haul, 15 CDs at an average of $3.73 a piece. My buddy is all vinyl (must be original pressing and darn near mint) spent about $150 (couple of original Budgie albums in there). Will listen to these within the next few days. Some used to have in 8-track or cassette and no longer have, some had heard but never owned, and some never heard before. Brian May - Back to the Light (never heard until today on the ride home, very good on 1rst listen and only $1 ) The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky Amon Duul - Hawk Meets Penguin (never heard before) Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe - s/t (listened today, forgot how much I liked this) Marshall Tucker Band - Encore Collection Heart - Dreamboat Annie (believe it or not, not heard the whole album before, another from the $1 bin) 3 Dog Night - The Best Of Emerson Lake and Palmer - Pictures From an Exhibition (Never heard before) David Bowie - Aladdin Sane (never heard completely through) Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds Ry Cooder - Jazz (never heard before) Deep Purple - Made in Japan (used to play this to death many moons ago) Procol Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale (1rst album with Whiter Shade of Pale included) Hawkwind - Hall of the Mountain Grill Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy (as usual, I forgot I already have it and now I have 2 ) Edit: Perhaps this would have been more appropriate for recently acquired or purchased thread, but thought it would fit from the discussion.

"Hawk Meets Penguin" is the first and in my opinion best album of the British Amon Düül that were formed by John Weinzierl and Dave Anderson in the 1980s and had Guy Evans of Van der Graaf Generator as drummer.

Nice finds, Jim! I'm not very enthusiastic with record shows around here, it's mostly overpriced junk: musical garbage, records in very bad condition or terrible Portuguese/Spanish pressings. There are a couple of sellers that sell online and have a much better understanding of record prices and are more demanding with the quality of the records though.
I think it's becoming a popular opinion around here I read that Ron Geesin did everything while the band was touring North America, so they didn't give any input and just heard the final result. Never heard anything else from Geesin, besides the album with Roger Waters (his only solo album I can stomach). What do you recommend? This weekend: Reis da República - Fábulas Camembert - Schnörgl Attahk Mansun - Six Manfred Mann Earth Band - Solar Fire Bo Hansson - Watership Down (I forgot I had this album, it must be the thinnest LP in my collection. I found him right next to Harald Grosskopf. Wouldn't this be an interesting collaboration?)

Oh man, Sam, Mansun's `Six' -
That Bo Hansson one is seriously underrated as well Last night's picks for me: The Doors – Morrison Hotel Hot Tuna – s/t (live) Epsilon – Epsilon Off The Flock – s/t Styx – Cornerstone (Jim, I bet you love this one!) Libra – s/t I Teoremi – s/t Laser – s/t Klaus Schulze – Dig It |

^^^ and above
Yeah the record shows are just fun to browse through all the music and look for that little treasure that may be hidden, like being a kid again flipping through albums to see what you could find, try a new band based on the album cover alone. Most of the CDs I got I would never have ordered, but when you find them cheap and in good shape, you spend like drunken sailors . Michael breaking out some Hot Tuna

I am anxious to give this one a spin. Curious about the company who released it as it has a different cover than on PA. Abstract Sounds is the label and evidently were bought out by Universal Music Group. Cover image below.

I agree with its rating, it's really good but doesn't excite me too much. I still prefer it over Snow Goose though. Do you dig it? I heard it once and didn't do much for me. It sounds more like initial MIDI sequencer demos than an actual album. The next two albums are much more interesting. Yesterday: Ed Wynne - Shimmer Into Nature Jean-Michel Desbouis - Prince Breidablik - Nhoohr Kungens Män - Chef |

^ Thanks, I figured it was something like that. Now I am curious if it is the same as the original music since it has Amon Duul II instead of Amon Duul . I will have to compare listens if I can find the original on Youtube somewhere or the like.
