Topic: Classic Battle of Albums Poll#21 Posted: June 27 2015 at 06:24
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 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!!!
next up.. oh my.. one of absolute favorites.. From England
Stevie Winwood and Traffic
Next up.. a Zeuhl CLASSIC!! (like the Spanish, RPI.. very heavy bottom loaded Zeuhl in these polls) From France!!
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.

Los Canarios was great. Gotta look into them. Celeste on the other hand were just...meh; did nothing for me. That Traffic album is really good but Eskaton gets this.
