Next up.  Poll #21.  One vote, top 2 vote getters move on to 2nd round to face each other. Vote for the album people.. not the group. If you don't know the album, ask, google, youtube it. Lots of great music here man...

First up in the contest of a damn interesting scene that sprouted up in Spain in the mid to late 70's. From Spain Clap we have

Los Canarios!!!!



first of many up (very bottom loaded) from Italy today.. simply one of the most beautiful and famed progressive mellotron driven classics. From the lighter end (the heavy end comes later in the polls)

Celeste!!! Clap



next up.. oh my..  one of absolute favorites..  From England

Stevie Winwood and Traffic Heart



Next up..  a Zeuhl CLASSIC!! (like the Spanish, RPI.. very heavy bottom loaded Zeuhl in these polls) Clap From France!!

Eskaton!! Clap

I just got off a voluntary nighshift, but let's do this sh*t.Thumbs Up I haven't heard the first two yet but I doubt they'll take my vote away from Eskaton.

I love the opening track to Celeste's "Principe Di Un Giorno", but the rest is not on the same level IMHO as it comes to composition.
I support Traffic here. Low Spark is not their best (the eponymous second and John Barleycorn are better) but the magic is still there. Some great songs with a great flow.

Celeste - probably in my top 10 Italian albums, love it but the few times I've seen it in a record shop, it's been way too expensive
