Listening to the turtle right before turning in (must've been 4 in the morning as the whole left side of my body currently is killing me (Croaking sounds emanate from my pelvis right up through to my shoulder like those you hear on old wooden ships). However painful it feels I still very much believe that all of this is my body sloooooowly returning to it's normal self. The tower of Piza correcting itself internally.) and I suddenly thought of King Crimson's Lizard. Those sputtering jazzy touches to the horns as well as that ever so beautiful presence of the mellotron. Gotta love that sucker! Sounds like big shafts of light.

Hey Tymon – I thought of a lesser known album that you might like, hope you haven’t spun it before! German band Prof. Wolfff’s sole self-titled debut from 1972. I actually thought I’d reviewed it years ago but it slipped me by (might have to fix that!). I think it’s a ripper beginning to end, short and sweet too, although the opening track is the real killer. Probably not a massively important German disc, but definitely one of my top personal favourites. I wish more people went on about it!


Prof. Wolff - Prof. Wolff Michael, thanks a lot for that recommendation, they are a very interesting band. I don't know how about you, but I can feel a strong RPI-like atmosphere all around this one (at times I was reminded of Museo Rosenbach), but they have something that's just typical of heavier German rock groups, this very rough, gritty quality, I really don't know how to put it. In this respect, I don't think they are that far from Triumvirat or Sixty-Nine (great unknown band in a similar vein, by the way). Again, thank you for that recommendation, I really enjoyed the album. Smile Also, the cover art is very nice.

Heldon - Un Reve Sans...
Meta Meta - mm3 (I guess this is my favorite album this year, right there with UTO)
Paatos - Timeloss
The Winstons - S/T

Very nice picks there Sagi
I still have to get my hands on that SBB album, thanks for reminding me (John did too with his review)
Cool to see another fan of Gadi Caplan. Great album on first listen but at the same time a real grower...at least for me.
MM3 is da bee's knees as well - right on capitan!

I will have to lend you my ears one day. The ol switcheroo.

Funny thing about that MT album is that everyone seems to be describing it differently. You mention GG while I feel there is an early Van Damme Generator vibe only it comes off rather psychedelic. I've heard other mention early Floyd too.
But yeah like I said, should be fun to switch those ears around

Today up until now:
Ulver - ABCCBBEJ (something with letters anyway. Genuinely enjoyed it and can't for the life of me understand why I haven't spun it for months (half year even?). Another one to cram inside an already full list.)
Thy Catafalque - Meta
Goat - Requiem
Syd Arthur - Apricity (Gets better and better with every new spin. I get why many would dislike the rather poppish natire of some of the songs, but I don't care. Sounds wonderful to these ears.)
La Bocca della Veritá - Avenoth
Hero - s/t (Strange obscurity from 1970s Italy sounding much closer to Krautrock than RPI.)
Tangerine Dream - Box Set (Reims gigs)

How was that Mother Turtle btw?
It sounded like Post Rock-ish Alt Rock with some occasional Jazz flavour. I had a hard time listening to the whole thing, all the tracks are very much alike.
 
I really enjoyed it, very diverse and I liked the GG influences. There's a lot happening on that album, I'll have to give it another listen soon Thumbs Up

Thick, meaty sax solos, smokin' organ with some Jon Lord flavours, and the succulent sweetness of that classical guitar fingerstyle. All of the jazz craziness and breathtaking romance that you gotta love the Italians for is proud on display here. Fantastic!

Bauhaus - Stairway To Escher - Apparently this was a Buon Vecchio Charlie offshoot released some time later, so it's no surprise that that same signature sax is front and centre, still blessing my ears. Incredibly creative - and super well performed - fusion material right here. 

I agree with you, those albums are excellent, some of the best italian jazz-rock bands/albums! Clap

Wow, Gary, I had no idea they'd put out another album. I remember really liking their `Tribaloide' album from a few years ago, but was always annoyed I never got a CD of it (which I'm certain were available for a while), but now that I look into it I might have been mistaken and it was download only...
I think you're right about download only but I'd really like to get a physical copy of Fuera De Tiempo.
These guys (and girl) are really tight and have a great sound. They have a few "live in the studio" videos on YouTube that are worth watching.
