I second the Dedalus recommendation. A fine discovery for me.
Anyway, it's ben a while since I posted a rec' here and it'll probably be a long time before I post here again so I will make a shotr one for now.
The band is not yet here but I have suggested them to be added. They are the German psychedelic band Virus who released 2 studio albums - Revelation (1970) and Thoughts (1971). I have written a draft for a bio and I'll give it here:
Virus were a psychedelic band originating from "Revelation" starts as a straight forward psychedelic track and develops as the song conines forward. Towards the middle of the song comes in a cover of the Rolling Stones song – Paint It Black. Another homage is found in the second song where at the end you can hear a Saucerful Of Secrets choir bit. This album is very inventive and contains surprises along the different tracks. These songs have long guitar playing parts and exciting organ playing, both demonstrating very good musicianship. The second album "Thoughts" is a big change from their first one. The lineup change considerably as well, leaving only Krahe and Rieke from the original group. The new members were: Axel Nieling (drums), Jurgen Schafer (bass, vocals), Bernd Rosner (guitar) and Werner Vogt (bass, guitar, vocals). In this album they abandoned their long tracks and space rock and psychedelic nature. This album presents a more mainstream approach with blues rock songs. Therefore this would not be of interest for those looking them for their psychedelic and progressive sound. In 2004 a 1973 live show was released under the name Remember. Revelation - 1970 BASF ORC 15/CD: Spalax 14510 Thanks to everyone who posted their recommendations here.
Oh, and behave while I'm gone, keep recommending your favourite bands/musicians and prog on.

i don't like Vangelis either, but his album Earth is fantastic, except the last song which is probably the most pretentious prog recording in the history of the world

^ Dallas, my friend, you can do better. For which reason do you have this consideration for Vangelis? Personnaly I found his sh*t terribly "old dated" and low in term of musical creativity. His superficial, weak synth adventures are only good for supermarkets and TV advertisings. |

Canterbury grows up, actually one of the few albums I would compare with French fusion, mostly very well done. Classic to my ears, outclasses most of the best of Canterbury scene.
An unusually good album of live group improvisations. I would've expected this to be a stinker, but it's the best live prog rock/jazz album I've heard in a long time. The variety and invention presented here just dwarfs eg. the improv performances of Wetton-era King Crimson, which was the first band I thought of when listening to this. This isn't to say Fripp and co. weren't pretty good; but these swedes' playing is much more unpredictable and less anchored on rhythms and tonality, yet possessing a clear sense of direction, with coalescences of harmonic movement emerging from the most surprising places. The closest comparisons that I can draw - within my limited sphere of knowledge - are to King Crimson's The Night Watch, Hatfield And The North or Zappa's Weasels Ripped My Flesh, although the relations aren't that close. Definitely recommended.
reissue
![]() Locrian Arabesque riprende la prima facciata di Nasavu, presenta quattro nuovi temi e soprattutto ritenta la carta "sinfonica" con la lunga suite omonima. Difficile superare le melodie di Nasavu, Trix e Leda: Schonning ci prova con un motivo spaziale (Cosmix Syrinx), una danza greca (Calliope), un'atmosfera drammatica (Celestial Mirage) e soprattutto un carillon barocco (Nadir). Tutti i brani sono costruiti secondo una particolare scala tonale. Nella suite eponima la tecnica della sequenza di variazioni, che era diventata la prassi compositiva ed esecutiva degli ultimi dischi, dà finalmente origine a una struttura narrativa. In realtà si tratta più che altro di una fantasia di idee a seguire, alla Mike Oldfield: il tema briosamente folk dell'ouverture, per fisarmonica e pianoforte, che muta piano piano in un'ariosa sonata romantica degli archi; il motivo ballabile che domina la sezione più "leggera" della suite; una delle sue tipiche melodie mediorientali, che riporta a un'atmosfera romantica; una sequenza di ritmo vertiginoso; e infine una sezione "cosmica", di suoni cupi e dissonanti. Schonning compie comunque il passaggio dal bozzettismo all'affresco, che sarà fondamentale per il proseguio. Edited by DallasBryan - July 09 2006 at 15:11 |

Lately funk has enjoyed a second coming spearheaded by the hip-hop revolution. The sounds of finger-popping bass lines and snarled, superfly vocals now prop up careers from rap to indie rock. The style pioneered by James Brown and George Clinton has also inspired a contemporary retro movement and prompted record labels to wade knee-deep through their back catalogs. But far from being strictly a revivalist thang, uncut funk is very much alive and well in 1995. In fact, it's thriving at producer Bill Laswell's Greenpoint Studios, in Brooklyn, N.Y. That's the lab where Funkcronomicon (not to be confused with H.R. Giger's Necronomicon) was conjured during the last three years. It's a return trip to the deepest, darkest reaches of funkadelia.
Besides boasting some of the genre's prime practitioners – George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker and Sly Stone, to name a few – this two-CD set spans black-music sources from the sanctified to the stinky. Take "Order Within the Universe," which opens the selection: Vintage Hammond-organ chops à la Bernie Worrell give way to a bouncing bottom and the scratch-and-burn turntable tactics of DXT (formerly Grandmixer DXT). Meanwhile, "Jungle Free-Bass" features Laswell and Bootsy trading low-end transmissions over a hyperkinetic break beat. But Funkcronomicon also finds much inspiration in the spirits of Jimi Hendrix and original Funkadelic guitar hero Eddie Hazel, to whom the set is dedicated. Bootsy's haunting wordplay perfectly complements a spacey, ambient treatment of Hendrix's "If 6 Was 9," while Last Poet Abiodun Oyewole breathes new life into the recently uncovered Hendrix poem "Trumpets and Violins." On some of the last material recorded before his death in 1992, Hazel displays a talent much underappreciated during his time. "Pray My Soul" is a feedback ballad as pure and stunningly beautiful as his legendary solo on Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain," and Hazel flips the script for the crunching electric assault of "Orbitron Attack." Other jewels on this record include "Hideous Mutant Freaks," an all-out P-Funk reunion, with George Clinton, Garry Shider and Gary "Mudbone" Cooper sharing the mike, and "Tell the World," which features JBs vets Bobby Byrd and Maceo Parker alongside the inimitable Sly Stone on keyboards and ad-libs. With such a galaxy of stars, a tight selection of tracks and the inspired cover scribblings of P-Funk artist Pedro Bell, this opus brings funk into the future with a vengeance. Track Listing:
Disc 1: Order Within The Universe {B Worrell, Bill Laswell} 3:17 Under The Influence (Jes Grew) {G Clinton, B Laswell, B Collins, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare} 5:45 If 6 Was 9 {Jimi Hendrix} 6:00 Orbitron Attack {Grace Cook} 12:29 Cosmic Slop {G Clinton, B Worrell} 5:15 Free-Bass (Godzillatron Cush) {B Laswell, B Collins, Dennis Weeden} 5:43 Tell The World {B Collins, Maceo Parker, Sylvester Stewart} 3:53 Pray My Soul {G Cook} 5:08 Disc 2: Hideous Mutant Freekz {G Clinton, B Collins, B Worrell, B Laswell} 7:25 Sax Machine {B Collins, M Parker, Bobby Byrd} 7:47 Animal Behavior {B Laswell, B Collins, Buckethead} 7:09 Trumpets And Violins, Violins {J Hendrix} 3:38 Telling Time {Nicky Skopelitis} 4:57 Jungle Free-Bass {B Laswell, B Collins} 5:38 Blackout {DeWayne McKnight} 3:44 Sacred To The Pain {G Cook, Umar Bin Hassan} 4:54 Personnel: Producer: Bill Laswell "Order Within The Universe" Organ: Bernie Worrell Turntable: DXT Bass, Beats, Sound EFX: Bill Laswell "Under The Influence" Vocals: George Clinton, Gary Cooper, Bootsy Collins, Michael Payne, Debra Barsha, Zhana Saunders Guitar: Bootsy Collins Piano: Herbie Hancock Bass: Robbie Shakespeare Drums: Anton Fier Drum Programming: Sly Dunbar Congas: Daniel Ponce Cowbell, Percussion: Aiyb Dieng Tuba: Edwin Rodriguez Baritone Horn, Euphonium: Joe Daly Trumpet, Flugelhorn: Ted Daniel Bassoon: Janet Grice Tenor Saxophone, Flute: J.D.

I would like to recommend Randone's last album "Hybla Act 1" - released in 2005
On that site you can listen to many samples of the album.
![]() The opus is about the millenary history of the city of Ragusa, the ancient Hybla, passing through wars of ancient times, medieval age and baroque period.
Great concept album for a continuous track divided on cd in 25 songs. Excellent and varied arrangements, vocals provided also by a baritone.
This is a real gem, a BAROCK OPERA, as it's said in the liner notes.
Line-up
- Nicola Randone: vocal, 12 string guitar, digital piano, arturia moog, NI B4 and orchestral samples - Riccardo Cascone: drums and percussions - Marco Crispi: lead guitar - Livio Rabito: bass, vocal and background vocal Special Guests - Beppe Crovella: moog, mellotron, wurlitzer - Graziano Raniolo: sax - Carmelo Corrado Caruso: baritone vocal - Lautaro Acosta: violin - Bianca La Rosa: female voice - Elena Infantino: background female voice - Franco Cilia: narrow voice
