Hey guys, I'd like some recommendations for rock bands/particular albums that sounds pastoral (think of Harmonium) or just warm and comfy (like Future Days or Part the Second). Post Rock, Eclectic Prog, Symph Prog, Krautrock, you name it (just no metal, please). Thanks in advance!

Hi there! It's good to see you in the forum - I really enjoy your reviews. Seeing as you are not specifically targeting the British variety I will give up all those goodies that didn't fit in the previous thread (their loss): Witthüser & Westrupp - Trips und Träume Morte Macabre - Symphonic Holocaust Il Paese Dei Balocchi - s/t Popol Vuh - Pick any album between Hosianna Mantra and well Sei Still, Wisse ICH BIN Celeste - Principe de un Giorno Spinetta Jade - Alma de Diamante Yatha Sidhra - A Meditation Mass Janus - Gravedigger Floating Flower - pick an album Bill Hassell w Eno - Fourth World Vol 1: Possible Musics (kind of a longshot but still... Perry Leopold - Christian Lucifer I will put on my thinking cap and come back with more. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

| Again I want to plug Uzva, one of the best jazz/fusion/world/instrumental bands I have ever heard. Give them a try, especially Uoma (their third album). |

 This just goes to show how subjective the response to music is! I love the MM album dearly, but it's pretty much the opposite of warm to me - unless it's warm in the crypt. To me it's creepy, unsettling listening.------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to. http://bandcamp.com/jpillbox" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp Profile |

I personally like the other two marginally better, but all three are outstanding, with not very much to choose between them. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to. http://bandcamp.com/jpillbox" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp Profile |

I don't know the album nor the band, but given the name of both I'll believe you that it's the opposite of warm. |

More often than not the italian soundtrack composers made stunningly melancholic scores to accompany their (often combined) zombie/cannibal/soft porn-flicks. Here's the original: -------------

Ragnarok!! http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=5602 One of the sweetest, warmest albums you'll ever hear. To imagine the band playing this at a high school talent show (which they initially did), is beyond belief. Pure magic recorded. ------------- Check out my FREE album: A one-man project The Distant Dynasty |

Good pick. His brother Jon made a record with a confusingly similar title that is also OK  ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to. http://bandcamp.com/jpillbox" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp Profile |

Beautiful record! Sticking with Sweden in the mid-seventies one might also mention the Berits Halsband album - a jazzier affair, and with some charmingly rough edges, but lovely and warm.

Warmest album I can think of? Osibisa's Woyaya, which has filled my heart with joy since I was a small child (oddly it was the only rock LP my parents owned when I was small - later, when I got bigger, I stole it). Incredible production by Tony Visconti that will fill your living space with brass, flute, percussion, chiming guitars, ripe Hammond, phat bass and the most delightful voices. You can play this instead of turning on the central heating, ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia.

Roy Harper - Stormcock I suspect the Harmonium guys listened to this one a lot. ------------- |

 My favourite movie score ever by far. So haunting and melodic at the same time. Strangely fitting for the horrible events portrayed in the movie. ------------- "Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers.
