There are cropping up on Youtube dozens of "one album" prog wonders from the 1970s. Which one would you have most like to see have created a multi-album career? ------------- -- Robert Pearson Regenerative Music http://www.regenerativemusic.net Telical Books http://www.telicalbooks.com ParaMind Brainstorming Software http://www.paramind.net |

Oh, the choices... cause RPI's chock full of these kind of bands, and you couldn't go wrong picking any of them and magically giving them a career. Personally, Museo Rosenbach and Campo di Marte are my top picks. -------------

| Would "Inferno" by Metamorphosi count? I mean, they do have one or two more albums, but the first one I understan is almost completely dismissed, and the other one came up until after 2000. Then, I guess YS by "Il Balleto di Bronzo" could be described the same way. |

Centipede are it for me. They played a bunch of live gigs and recorded just the one album. How I wish they had continued for decades, with a fluid lineup of at least thirty or forty people. I was lucky enough to play with one of them last year. ------------- rotten hound of the burnie crew |

Hi,
Honestly, because of my proximity to Space Pirate Radio and Guy Guden, the 70's got pretty well covered and visited. I don't think that there were a lot of things that we "missed", although there were things that I did not buy until 30 years later, and Khan is a perfect example.
But all in all, I would say that there were not a whole lot of one album wonders for me! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

Hands released other albums besides their self-titled debut, two of which were released in the 2000's. Strangelet (featuring Herd of Instinct/Spoke of Shadows Warr guitarist, Mark Cook) dates back from 2008, and it is one hell of a great album. |

Good one ....although they (part of Komintern) did release an album prior to Bal du rat mort under the moniker of Red Noise:  Mixes the strangeness of Komintern, although not quite as developed at the time, with the 60s and some real "stick it to the man" vibes. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

off the top of my head: Jean Yves Labat- M. Frog. 18 Karat Gold- Amon Duul 2's Roxy music take-off. Cherubim- Cherub Safety Match. Great German band. Jack Nitzche- St. Giles Cripplegate. Plus-The Seven Deadly Sins. George Grunblatt- K-Priss. Il Volo- the Italian band, not the vocal group Niagara- another Amon Duul 2/Embryo offshoot. (the last two may be disqualified as I believe they did 2 lps) |

Yeah well reminded, and personally I don't appreciate as much the singing as the other instrumental melodies really beautiful, it could have gotten really better for my ears if the singer tryed not to take so much inspiration from Peter Gabriel's. But I have to admit that I'm not a fan and never was a fan of PG's work, be it in Genesis or not, anyways as you well pointed out Battlement music do manage to touch my heart and soul, in a way that no Genesis album could. -------------  "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."
