Hey Ken, I always liked both of those Renaissance albums. When I first got into prog, `Scheherazade' was one of the very first albums I ever bought exploring the genre, and soon after I picked up `Novella' and `Prologue', and for many years I only had those three from the band. So I really came to very much like `Novella', and it was only later on that I learned that it's kind of considered a `poorer' one from that initial run of albums. I think in retrospect the first side is amazing, so to `Midas Man', and the other two are perfectly decent but not as memorable as other pieces they'd done from the same period. I always thought `ASFAS' was always strong, but then again I've always defended `Azure D'Or' quite a bit as well! I've got a review of that Fuchsia one ready to go as soon as I can be bothered posting it - man, I love that album! I'm very curious to look into that follow-up now after your praise of it now! I just kind of assumed `too little too late'. Thanks for the two recommendations, will look into them. |

John McLaughlin - Devotion (Sweeet memories connected with this masterpiece)
King Crimson - Live at Summit Studios 1972 (There is a good chance this sparked a King Crimson kick for me today) Sündenfall II - Sündenfall II (Michael, I like this!!! Some places are not really all that memorable, but I absolutely adore those jazzy breaks; they will stick with me for loooong. And the more traditional folk songs are very pleasant and charming. The flute playing is out of this world. Thanks a lot for recommending this one! ) Edited by ALotOfBottle - July 15 2017 at 13:21 |

Glad you dug it, man! AS you said, not every bit is memorable, but it's mostly pretty tasty. I especially love that `Dusty Road' track, very droning and melancholic. Last night's choices for me, including several German ones: Jefferson Airplane – Surrealistic Pillow Amon Duul 2 – Yeti (man, those final mellow minutes of the side-long `Yeti’ improvisation) Guru Guru – Kanguru Guru Guru – Tango Fango Kraan – s/t Tangerine Dream – Atem Tangerine Dream - Phaedra Aktuala – s/t Robert Rich – Filaments Syn – Sequence 1 |

I know, aren't they like a cherry on top?! Love the second LP of Yeti in all. One of the most psychedelic things I have ever heard. Nice day overall, by the way! Edited by ALotOfBottle - July 16 2017 at 10:22 |

Trippy weekend:
Quaeschening & Schnauss - Synthwaves Steve Roach - Invisible Schnauss & Munk - Passage Michael Brückner - All the Pieces Fit Forever (CD 3) Tangerine Dream - Rubycon And went to a barbecue with Prog concerts last night. Esfera's upcoming EP sounds great and I discovered a promising new Psych band, and I'm pretty sure I went to high school with them.

indeed.
This place is fast becoming a "phone site" for me. Over my laptop it has just become too frustrating of an experience. Earlier on I was about to post a couple of pre-written reviews that have been sitting and waiting on my computer for a good while now, but I guess they will have to wait a while. Music yesterday: Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds Yusef Lateef - The Blue Yusef Lateef Samuel Cadima - Cascata Wolves In The Throne Room - Celestite (strongly recommended to Berliner Schule fans that have grown tired of the same ol same ol. This album came completely out of left-field parting ways with the band's former black metal sound) Semiramis - Dedicato A Frazz Wolf People - Ruins Nice Altuala pick there btw Michael! The band that manages to splice together every endemic percussion culture out there. Insane...and very very good. Tymon: I see you found your way to the great Don. Kudos. I bought the cd in Valletta airport (Malta) 10-15 years ago though I'm fairly certain it is a bootleg. Anyway couldn't resist the wonderfully strange cover art. |

It was my second listen to it. It's a great album, although there is something just a tad to watery in it for me, no other way to put it really. I like it very much, though, and would love to find other stuff like it. Also, I had thought I misunderstood the information in your review, but I did not; how on earth does one find such obscurities at an airport in Malta (or any airport for that matter)? Nice picks by the way, love me some Yusef Lateef. Edited by ALotOfBottle - July 17 2017 at 08:29 |

Yeah looking back now I think the music store there most likely acted as a front for some sneaky music bootleggers. Still, the cd sounds great.
The good monsieur Lateef has accompanied me to bed the last couple of nights now - just the kind of esoterically charged, loose and infinitely chill kind of jazz that suits me at that time of night. Conversely, pour a bottle of vodka down my throat and I'll be pulling out the mad Sun Ra albums. Atlantis at 4 in the morning can be quite the eye-opener and that luckily also includes your neighbours. Frame of mind and all that... |

Started as another mostly Krautrock-ish session, then wound down with some modern chill-out/mellow/ambient stuff:
Lineateorica - s/t Kraan – Wintrup Embryo – Rocksession – (man, the way that organ hums in the first half of `Warm Canto’! ) Embryo – Father Son and Holy Ghosts (killer 18-plus minute live bonus track tacked onto the end of this CD edition too! ) Out of Focus – Wake Up Agitation Free – Malesch (Sam, was it an LP of this you picked up recently or the CD reissue?) Aktuala – La Terra (this one is a little more sedate, eh Dave? Steve Roach – Solitaire: Ritual Ground The Angling Loser – Arena of Apprehension Stormloop – Into the Void Ishq – Autumn Light Ishq – Winter Light |

^Good stuff! I was on an Embryo kick last November. And it was biiiig! That band has a very special way of intoxicating me. Now it's King Crimson, I guess.
Friedhof - Friedhof King Crimson - KCCC 18 - Live in Detroit, MI (December 13 1971) (The best live KC album I've heard so far.) |

Tymon, I haven't had much luck coming across more Embryo albums. I've had the vinyl reissues of both `Steig Aus' and `Rocksession' for many years, and I only picked up `Father Son and Holy Ghosts' about two years ago on remastered CD. Other than that - nothing. So I've pretty much had no choice but to stick with these ones!
(although I suppose I could order some more online! ) I DID, however, come across a CD listing for an album of theirs from 1977 called `Apo-Calypso' from a local Melbourne, Australia vendor on Ebay...perhaps I should have snapped it up! I think the one-star review on the Archives here (and that awful cover!) put me off. It was $20, though, which seemed like a bit of a gamble. Do you know if it's any good? http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=5635 Edited by Aussie-Byrd-Brother - July 17 2017 at 14:23 |

La Terra is definitely the one I'd recommend a newbie to the band. Seems more 'direct/linear' if that makes any sort of sense. The debut, in comparison, is far more loose and spacey reminding me of the kind of experimental space voyages one encounters in early Schulze, TD, Kluster and Popol Vuh....but achived through percussion instruments. Only one other album I know of that does this and that's Stomu Yamashta's debut Red Buddha, an extraordinary album.
Michael: If you ever pull the trigger on some Embryo albums online, then please consider Opal, Embryo's Rache, Embryo's Reise, We Keep On as well as the two live albums Wiesbaden and Bremen before you jump on board Apo-Calypso. |
