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 haveLos 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!! ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I just got off a voluntary nighshift, but let's do this sh*t. I haven't heard the first two yet but I doubt they'll take my vote away from Eskaton.to be continued... ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

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 |

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. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

I only knew the Traffic album but the other three are really great too. I voted for Ciclos (even if it will not help them), very nice album... Vivaldi would be proud

| Celeste. I even wrote a review for this one. |

Date Posted: June 30 2015 at 16:56
yeah.. no reason to keep sitting on this. Celeste it is!
I always meant to write one myself .. glad I didn't now. It probably would have sucked just as bad as my other reviews did. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

^^^ yeah it probably would... I remember they were awful to say the least!!!     Seriously, when and why did the writer's block occur? (I've got an idea about that...)

... I remember a passionate review of yours on Palepoli. When I listen to Osanna (rarely nowadays, to be honest) and even when I watch Battiato on TV or read something about him on magazines and newspapers (actually this happens very often
) I really can't help but thinking about you... eheheh |

 oh christ Andrea.. that is kind of you to say.As far as my writers' block.. pretty simple. I have been staring into the sun for so long that I got blind. Raff is so much better.. sh*t.. lightyears better than I am that in comparision my reviews felt like the raving of a 3rd grader. She has a talent for writing.. my only talent was pissing people off ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Went and tore a muscle in my back last evening .... no no no .... but thanks for thinking it might have been a possibility. Anywho, I am somewhat blissed out on you beaut pain killers. Ergo Celeste is working quite nicely for me this morning. Eskaton is probably number two, Low Spark one of my favourite Traffic albums but I was a never a huge fan so we'll slot Los Canarios at three. ------------- Andrew B “Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

Celeste, Principe di un Giorno. ------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |
