The album "People Of Today" was released recently by the great folks of the Mello Music Group, who also supported yU's record <a href="http://mos-eisley-music.blogspot.de/2012/03/review-yu-earn-yu-ist-ein-teil-der.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">"The Earn"</span></a> a few years ago.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On previous releases you could already hear the talent of the Diamond District MC. On this one he can basically do no wrong since Slimkat's beats are always on point and well produced. The excellent use of samples create the perfect playground for the positive rap character that this album is conveying. There is a lot to like about the total 18 tracks on "People Of Today". Tracks like "One-Nine-7-T-8", "Without A Clue" or "FAR" are an perfect example of what I'm talking about. Hip Hop with a lot of soul and an album that shows no weaknesses from the first till the last note.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Get the full stream on <a href="https://mellomusicgroup.bandcamp.com/album/people-of-today" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Bandcamp </span></a>and watch the video for "Without A Clue".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/3utniz5PWhM?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1528946358/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=de270f/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=367139297/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://mellomusicgroup.bandcamp.com/album/people-of-today">People of Today by The 1978ers (yU & Slimkat)</a></iframe></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667484688567397583.post-83060632324074950162014-12-05T08:45:00.000-08:002014-12-07T19:56:39.669-08:00Blaze Foley - Sittin' By The Road<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEGeyRxCBzl1fL3LefwPOVXE6diylZHXOPIYZYr8SuqI5DL-tp0U7uEGi7KV67E45o4MhZa1xwUbv9gOkMBEpINIkr_IrBmdVqrz4e7N0HU9rASJKgsGPUKkSdzM875S67ygL6Xxz1fD3l/s1600/elite011-Blaze+Foley-Sittin+By+The+Road-Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEGeyRxCBzl1fL3LefwPOVXE6diylZHXOPIYZYr8SuqI5DL-tp0U7uEGi7KV67E45o4MhZa1xwUbv9gOkMBEpINIkr_IrBmdVqrz4e7N0HU9rASJKgsGPUKkSdzM875S67ygL6Xxz1fD3l/s1600/elite011-Blaze+Foley-Sittin+By+The+Road-Cover.jpg" height="318" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">If someone would ask me for my favourite folk and country songs, Blaze Foley's "Clay Pigeons" would surely make the top 5. Still, this man's music never really got the attention it deserved, so it's a nice to see a label like eliterecords releasing some of Foley's early recordings in "Sittin' By The Road".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here you will find a raw version of some of his best and well known songs.

Tracks like "Faithless" are the perfect example of how easy songwriting can be if you just put the right effort in the way you execute. But don't get me wrong, there are some great guitar and vocal harmonies on this LP and this band is never shy of creating some haunting psychedelic moods. Maybe it is even that crack between the slow heavy and the quiet (somehow still heavy) that makes this album so spectacular. Or maybe it's not that complicated at all and it's just great and intense rock music...<a href="http://mos-eisley-music.blogspot.de/2014/11/sioux-one-and-many.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">more</span></a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='250' height='100' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/rtCj3iEjOss?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667484688567397583.post-68016407159753493332014-12-03T08:14:00.000-08:002014-12-07T19:56:39.749-08:00Renegades Of Jazz - Paradise Lost (Preview)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPYswrzjnQUsK5ctiCufTz7J_J-SMHIumU3CP0eQr_B6J466C5uoeNe_a7eMaOS6CdcLIzrY1SASGFrU4OwYOMefXgGDelKeEgluoLvRbjkWc8HAjKNMQFb3IW1TRn2ytDP9iG1_yoyhva/s1600/rojparadiselost.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPYswrzjnQUsK5ctiCufTz7J_J-SMHIumU3CP0eQr_B6J466C5uoeNe_a7eMaOS6CdcLIzrY1SASGFrU4OwYOMefXgGDelKeEgluoLvRbjkWc8HAjKNMQFb3IW1TRn2ytDP9iG1_yoyhva/s1600/rojparadiselost.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Early 2015 will see a new chapter of <a href="http://mos-eisley-music.blogspot.de/2014/01/renegades-of-jazz-sidewinders.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Renegades Of Jazz</span></a>' career as a top class producer and remix specialist.

The album was preceded by the single Train For All Seasons / Never Let Go (CNS 405), the A side is identical to the songs from the album Ride On. Spirit of John Morgan (1969) good mix of psycedelic rock, heavy blues, some folk and early british progressive rock (especially great John Morgan's organ). surely their best album. Very consistent.

Starting out in the same Star Club-based Hamburg scene as the Liverpool groups of the early '60s, their early repertoire was built upon a similar base of '50s rock and soul/R&B. They released about 30 singles during the '60s (some on the Star-Club label itself), as well as almost ten albums, eventually making the transition to original material, and marching on well into the 1970s.

Thats how you could describe the guitarist's <a href="http://mos-eisley-music.blogspot.de/2013/10/esben-brandt-kvartet-feat-fredrik.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">last album featuring Fredrik Ljungkvist</span></a> and it is also fitting for his new record "Constants".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here he is joined by notable names like RJ Miller on drums, Tomasz Dabrowski on trumpet and <a href="http://mos-eisley-music.blogspot.de/2014/06/hess-ac-hess-spacelab.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Anders Christensen</span></a> on Bass. Aside from the uptempo track "Three Melodies" this album by the acclaimed Danish jazz composer is more about the aforementioned calm moods and melodies. Now you might call it Nordic Jazz tradition, music for quiet moments or something like that but this will only tell you half the story. Sure you will find some nice tunes to kick your feet back on this album but taking a closer look at how those soothing moods are constructed you will see that there is more to this album. Tracks like "The Story" or "Curie" are good examples of how all instruments blend together perfectly into an quiet ocean of sounds where here and there some waves of beautiful melodies seem to evolve.</div><br />Stream some tracks off the album on <a href="https://soundcloud.com/esbenbrandt" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Soundcloud</span></a> or get more infos on Brandt's <a href="http://www.esbenbrandt.dk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">homepage</span></a>.<br /><br /><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/151228530&color=49aba3&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667484688567397583.post-16139346138463194202014-11-26T10:37:00.000-08:002014-12-07T19:56:39.956-08:00Mother Mars - Claimed By The Cloner<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWCIG1ZT2d1uNywaDSWbCIMJmoW_gkJ4NcJidoXw4d_ICyxf31BIzac16Dq_EDFUWgnGph0DuDFLxR6ynv4EGkPK1xzR96d0XFgc86g7Qm0n3fj6eQC-Idye1oLiCXF2tJa3iG6x696TTG/s1600/mothermars.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWCIG1ZT2d1uNywaDSWbCIMJmoW_gkJ4NcJidoXw4d_ICyxf31BIzac16Dq_EDFUWgnGph0DuDFLxR6ynv4EGkPK1xzR96d0XFgc86g7Qm0n3fj6eQC-Idye1oLiCXF2tJa3iG6x696TTG/s1600/mothermars.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Beside their <a href="http://mos-eisley-music.blogspot.de/2014/07/frozen-planet-69-lost-traveller.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Frozen Planet 69</span></a> project the Attard brothers from Sydney also form the three piece rock band Mother Mars.

The release also features a full and unedited version of "The Cloner" which spans almost ten minutes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Get the full stream on <a href="https://mothermars.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Bandcamp</span></a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1599769474/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e32c14/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://mothermars.bandcamp.com/album/claimed-by-the-cloner">Claimed By The Cloner by Mother Mars</a></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667484688567397583.post-10225596470734898712014-11-25T10:32:00.000-08:002014-12-07T19:56:40.010-08:00Wordsworth & Hex One - Buy Time<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTKFA7rzQjuBt52aZ4MyOTsbU9ZcfH6zE_k1sqOuvkOKuuHJrPwDnvA7CD3_CiQRgmhJ3-443b0H0A3bCfSOFnCtMWxI6z0Od1Lgmbvk9d_eKn4cOWTqXHwHFdrIFaeoMXD2rhhe2EzvY5/s1600/wordsworthbuytime.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTKFA7rzQjuBt52aZ4MyOTsbU9ZcfH6zE_k1sqOuvkOKuuHJrPwDnvA7CD3_CiQRgmhJ3-443b0H0A3bCfSOFnCtMWxI6z0Od1Lgmbvk9d_eKn4cOWTqXHwHFdrIFaeoMXD2rhhe2EzvY5/s1600/wordsworthbuytime.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Let me introduce you to another great Hip Hop label named Mic Theory Records.

Just like the title suggests, you will also find some heavy afro influnces in the tracks by "The Sorcerers", a serious funk banger in Cleveland Freckleton's "The Flip" or dynamic sitar sounds on Ivan von Engelberger's Asteroid's track "Thought Forms". And let's not forget those incredible slow jams like "Hawkshaw Philly".

It does, however, draw from each of those sources, some with more success than others. Regardless of whether the descriptions truly represent Nosy Parker's sound, with the Gear Fab reissue it can be easily judged on its own merits and against the claims of its proponents. By those standards, the album may be slightly disappointing to listeners searching for genuine lost treasure. Nosy Parker has its moments in fact, quite a few of them but according to objective criterion it is decidedly second-rate when stacked against some of the artists (the Byrds, Genesis) to whom it has been compared. In the band's defense, the recording may not be entirely representative of its sound, considering it was committed to tape without the benefit of overdubs in a two-day blur in 1975. Nevertheless the album alternates between rather pedestrian (and sometimes downright contradictory) hard and soft rock impulses, on the one hand, and, on the other, much more interesting, even novel amalgams of folk and progressive sensibilities ("Buskers and Street Musicians," "Song for a Gentle Lady," the lovely "Silver Wings") that blend delicately picked acoustic melodies, enticing synth tones, and intricate playing, even if they tend to stick around a little too long for their own good or grow full of themselves (as does the suite-like "Notre Dame") or get too wizard-and-warlock-y in the lyric department. Unfortunately, there is too much of the former quality to make Nosy Parker an effort about which the average fan (or even a partisan of the era's music) will get excited, though its stature does increase with each listen. Devotees of ridiculously rare prog-ish music, on the other hand, will probably benefit by giving this one a chance. <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/nosy-parker-mw0000662123" target="_blank">allmusic.com</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">Tracklist</span>:<br />01.Widow's Walk 5:28<br />02.Buskers And Street Musicians 6:18<br />03.Notre Dame 10:13<br />04.Wizards In The Afternoon 4:50<br />05.Songs For A Gentle Lady 4:05<br />06.Lucy Gray 5:26<br />07.Silver Wings 4:11<br />08.Beyond Beaujolais 4:15<br />09.Leave The Last Day For The Sun 3:55<br />10.Widow's Walk (Acoustic Version) 4:44 <br /><br /><a href="http://netkups.com/?d=77da41091f545" target="_blank">Nosy Parker</a>:<br />Thomas Viola – Vocals, Guitar<br />Joseph Celano – Vocals, Guitar, Clarinet<br />Anthony Abbate – Bass<br />William Viola – Drums, Percussion, Strings, Synthesizer<br />Anthony Abbate – Synthesizer</div><br /><br /><img src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SolidBoyMusicBlog/~4/yZz-0FibgEs" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667484688567397583.post-19703690633015060732014-11-21T09:05:00.000-08:002014-12-07T19:56:40.075-08:00The Journeymen - The Four Corners<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-WhUgqHbTvbNFd0meIuoQ488YF8MQeJ-iR5AKR6XkMx6OVGMUR0q60tr6a3fn54UCZ7iVeL14YP2Ih38R5vkA2ybcVsnK51H6yVknonW0CuEo3KMcBpfVdO-OiPdpFtoFyBzt0Q-wl5h_/s1600/journeymenfourcorners.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-WhUgqHbTvbNFd0meIuoQ488YF8MQeJ-iR5AKR6XkMx6OVGMUR0q60tr6a3fn54UCZ7iVeL14YP2Ih38R5vkA2ybcVsnK51H6yVknonW0CuEo3KMcBpfVdO-OiPdpFtoFyBzt0Q-wl5h_/s1600/journeymenfourcorners.jpg" height="318" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">There are probably countless artists out there that share the name with this rap group from Bristol.

From the start this record knows how to impresss with a kind of mood that will be your best friend while relaxing or a late night's drive.

Raps in french, english or spanish and soothing soul singing - it all blends together perfectly on this album. And let's not forget about the flawless production on the beats and instrumentals that create that fresh Soul Rev character.

Julia Kadel released her debut "Im Vertrauen" this summer featuring Steffen Roth on Drums and Karl-Erik Enkelmann on Bass.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You will find a lot of song-like compositions on this record that often blend into solo passages in which every member exactly knows how to fit into his or her role. While the focus rests on Kadel's piano she frequently makes room for her fellow musicians to play a more dominant part. "Im Vertrauen" showcases a perfect balance between solid songwriting and a dynamic playfulness, between the planned and the improvised. There's also a certain element of classical piano education that shines through tracks like "Alles Wolken" which is embedded in the trio's versatile sound. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can stream a few clips on <a href="https://soundcloud.com/umusic-backstage/sets/julia-kadel-trio-im-vertrauen" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Soundcloud</span></a> or listen to some older tracks on <a href="https://juliakadeltrio.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Bandcamp</span></a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><iframe frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/58043544&color=545454&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667484688567397583.post-72676343673962344382014-11-11T04:30:00.000-08:002014-12-07T19:56:40.223-08:00Love Equals Omnipotence - W.I.N.

The opener "Argenia" is one of those heavy grooving stoner tunes that'll let you know that good times lie ahead. Though you might call BoneHawk's music pretty much riff focussed you will still hear some great guitar harmonies shining through the fierce sound of this dynamic trio. Which leads us to the slower tracks like "Desert Run" or "Albino Rhino" which know how to impress with some intense jams and on point songwriting. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Get the full stream on <a href="https://bonehawk.bandcamp.com/album/albino-rhino-2" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Bandcamp</span></a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4049920259/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=1825822957/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://bonehawk.bandcamp.com/album/albino-rhino-2">Albino Rhino by BoneHawk</a></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667484688567397583.post-21085345911877498252014-11-09T02:21:00.000-08:002014-12-07T20:01:11.252-08:00Bliss - Bliss 1969 (Repost)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTNZgTHOmbGl9h3V_cTjMStQWocyONMiWVfgynYUncZXuk8qADOpzkog4loRP-C0AHX5UR5wGfp9pVCM2nJIZ_duy00gmY7HMEbvbRB7izuXANMy3uYtheBCBpMDyqv2PvsYLFfv7Enok/s1600/folder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTNZgTHOmbGl9h3V_cTjMStQWocyONMiWVfgynYUncZXuk8qADOpzkog4loRP-C0AHX5UR5wGfp9pVCM2nJIZ_duy00gmY7HMEbvbRB7izuXANMy3uYtheBCBpMDyqv2PvsYLFfv7Enok/s1600/folder.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">Biography</span> : Recorded in Phoenix Arizona's Audio Records with producer Hadley Murrell (who also contributed a pair of songs), 1969's "Bliss" was released by the L.A.-based Canyon Records. Musically the LP offered up a mix of originals (all three members contributing material), and blues covers. Interestingly, based on the cover which shows a chalice and a young, angry looking priest, our initial expectations were that this might be a Christian-rock LP. Those thoughts were reinforced by the opener "Ride the Ship of Fool" which blended a nice melody with sweet harmonies and a pseudo-religious lyric and "Cry for Love". While those characteristics are enough to send a large segment of the population running for cover, in this case the results aren't half bad. The religious sentiments are kept in check throughout and are wrapped in a series of tasty rockers. Powered by Aldred's powerhouse drumming and Reed's fuzz guitar (check out "VIsions" and their cover of Joe Tex's "I Want To be Free"), this is simply a great LP!.</div><br /><span style="color: orange;">Tracklist</span>:<br />01.Ride the Ship of Fools 4:21<br />02.Cry for Love 4:50<br />03.Gangster of Love 2:58<br />04.I Want To Be Free 3:00<br />05.Visions 3:35<br />06.Don't Think 2:07<br />07.I'm Gonna Hurt You 2:03<br />08.Make My Old Soul New 2:05<br />09.Rock Me Baby 3:28<br /><br /><a href="http://netkups.com/?d=4d6359f56c8f3" target="_blank">Bliss</a> :<br />Corky Aldred - vocals, drums<br />Rusty Martin - bass<br />Brad Reed - vocals, guitar<img src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SolidBoyMusicBlog/~4/KJtwNI19BDc" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667484688567397583.post-70656996979400684182014-11-08T10:56:00.000-08:002014-12-07T19:56:40.295-08:00The Funky Side of Goldband / Anla Records<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ZOL8O0YT1TMjE_EhmF-HIZuVa57DbZGz5K7hewdWI_5tVhcm670uQYq9QVhF0jslZICcT9NEIeuzRhL3lbsy5_TUIMG-O8thp50DQgg3zbek0PRNCoLcS8TfXp6lxv4jRHKZBUCFdnhk/s1600/goldband.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ZOL8O0YT1TMjE_EhmF-HIZuVa57DbZGz5K7hewdWI_5tVhcm670uQYq9QVhF0jslZICcT9NEIeuzRhL3lbsy5_TUIMG-O8thp50DQgg3zbek0PRNCoLcS8TfXp6lxv4jRHKZBUCFdnhk/s1600/goldband.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Tramp Records is about to release some more funky music.

Eddie Shuler, the man behind the label put all of his passion in this project and created a number of sub-labels like Anla records, which featured more funk and soul artists like Clifton White, Soul Senders or Count Rockin' Sidney. So what you can hear on this record is a nice combination of rhythm and blues with some heavy funk and soul influences. Other names Lee Bernard or The Showboats also show up on this one beside Chester Randle's fantastic "Soul Brother Testify". Most of the tracks are from the 60s and 70s period where the label featured lots of funky artists among on the otherwise Country and Cajun music based catalogue.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Get the full stream and LP/Download on <a href="https://tramprecords.bandcamp.com/album/out-now-the-funky-side-of-goldband-anla-records" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Bandcamp</span></a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2454064715/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=e99708/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=1683913456/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://tramprecords.bandcamp.com/album/out-now-the-funky-side-of-goldband-anla-records">OUT NOW!!!

Lovecraft was one of the better psychedelic groups of the late '60s. The band was formed by ex-folky George Edwards in Chicago in 1967. Edwards and keyboardist Dave Michaels, a classically trained singer with a four-octave range, handled the vocals, which echoed Jefferson Airplane's in their depth and blend of high and low parts. Their self-titled 1967 LP was an impressive debut, featuring strong originals and covers of early compositions by Randy Newman and Fred Neil, as well as one of the first underground FM radio favorites, "White Ship." The band moved to California the following year; their second and last album, H.P. Lovecraft II, was a much more sprawling and unfocused work, despite some strong moments. A spin-off group, Lovecraft, released a couple LPs in the '70s that bore little relation to the first incarnation of the band. <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hp-lovecraft-mn0000948429/biography" target="_blank">allmusic.com</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">H.P.Lovecraft I</span> :<br />01.Wayfaring Stranger 2:35<br />02.Let's Get Together 4:35<br />03.I've Been Wrong Before 2:46<br />04.The Drifter 4:11<br />05.That's The Bag I'm In 1:46<br />06.The White Ship 6:33<br />07.Country Boy & Bleeker Street 2:35<br />08.The Time Machine 2:05<br />09.That's How Much I Love You, Baby (More or Less) 3:55<br />10.Gloria Patria 0:27<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">H.P.Lovecraft II</span> :<br />01.Spin, Spin, Spin 3:21<br />02.It's About Time 5:17<br />03.Blue Jack of Diamonds 3:08<br />04.Electrollentando 6:34<br />05.At the Mountains of Madness 4:57<br />06.Mobius Trip 2:44<br />07.High Flying Bird 3:21<br />08.Nothing's Boy 0:39<br />09.Keeper of the Keys 3:05<br />10.

This one has been on my list for quite a while and now that I'm actually posting it, it seems like the band is about to split up... well guys, maybe take this as an encouragement to rethink your decision.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, the first thing you will notice listening to this album is its bold approach to heavy riffs and slow stomping rhythms. Tracks like "Faithless" are the perfect example of how easy songwriting can be if you just put the right effort in the way you execute. But don't get me wrong, there are some great guitar and vocal harmonies on this LP and this band is never shy of creating some haunting psychedelic moods. Maybe it is even that crack between the slow heavy and the quiet (somehow still heavy) that makes this album so spectacular. Or maybe it's not that complicated at all and it's just great and intense rock music.</div><br />Get the full stream on <a href="https://siouxtheband.bandcamp.com/album/the-one-and-the-many" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Bandcamp</span></a>.<br /><br /><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1657960034/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e32c14/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://siouxtheband.bandcamp.com/album/the-one-and-the-many">The One and The Many by SIOUX</a></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667484688567397583.post-67567734483085964822014-11-05T12:38:00.000-08:002014-12-07T20:01:11.276-08:00Riverson - Riverson (Kismet Records) 1972<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEY09xBShznl_PMTnGWR9coTETo05kE2n2GJBBhIPkgh0nf0sgcvrDY1PYtF2bA7HiSYDGHOZ5D5zx2CTwhFAANtF8oQdiKmfbhwsDWmrwbkof0YnhGtsyVpMJPNN_nJW8l7yn_JFSffs/s1600/folder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEY09xBShznl_PMTnGWR9coTETo05kE2n2GJBBhIPkgh0nf0sgcvrDY1PYtF2bA7HiSYDGHOZ5D5zx2CTwhFAANtF8oQdiKmfbhwsDWmrwbkof0YnhGtsyVpMJPNN_nJW8l7yn_JFSffs/s1600/folder.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">Biography</span> : Of all the zillions of CSNY-inspired westcoast hippie rock LPs from the early 1970s, this is one of the very best. Another feather in the cap for the great Columbia Canada office, with an excellent production bringing out the max from these talented long hairs. Clearly out of a "Deja Vu" corner (minus the sugary Nash crap, naturally), the song writing here is very good, grabbing your attention without being overly commercial, while the band lays down a groove that is both relaxed and tight. You can hear early AOR moves creeping into the hippie stylings, and much like on Homer this is not a disadvantage but helps broaden the album's impact. Female vocalist Franki Hart of Freedom North handles a few tracks, but is given solid competition by the male vocalists who sing just as well. Soaring, lyrical guitar leads recur throughout the LP, and there are some vague prog moves with flute on one track. Clocking in at 42 minutes, this could have omitted 1-2 tracks, and it's a testament to Riverson's strength that the playtime seems warranted. Recommended to anyone with an ear for top-level, upscale 70s westcoast sounds. <a href="http://www.lysergia.com/AA2ndEd_promosheet.jpg" target="_blank">Acid Archives</a></div><br /><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/riverson-mw0002400374" target="_blank">Tracklist</a>:<br />01.Clear Night 3:05<br />02.Winter Garden 3:16<br />03.Eleanor Rigby 4:12<br />04.I'll Be There 3:15<br />05.Empty Sky 4:17<br />06.Take Me 2:58<br />07.Stoney Day 4:33<br />08.Between the Lines 4:15<br />09.Can't Live Without You 3:06<br />10.Medallion Castle 4:25<br />11.Hermit Glen 3:10<br /><span style="color: orange;">Bonus tracks</span>:<br />12.Sittin Waitin<br />13.Chances<br /><br /><a href="http://netkups.com/?d=44f8a385c5e77" target="_blank">Riverson</a>:<br />Franki Hart - vocals, piano, acoustic guitar<br />Rayburn Blake - vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, banjo<br />Brian Edwards - vocals, bass<br />Graham Lear - drums<img src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SolidBoyMusicBlog/~4/6O-Ysp9EUAM" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comCanada53.911239828414239 -104.414062528.389205328414235 -145.7226565 79.433274328414242 -63.1054685
