And Mythos's s/t first album from 1972. Talk about a weird album cover but the music is really good.
The cover shares some elements with Rick Griffin's cover art,
Yes, it does indeed. Interestingly, on checking at the Discogs website, it apparently was done by "Gil Funccius......a Berlin artist, first documented with left-wing underground publications.......(who) went on to develop a unique and visionary style of album cover art that graces many albums of the Krautrock era"
It is a holiday weekend in Melbourne, surely the only city in the world which has a public holiday for a horse race - the Melbourne Cup!
So, I am sitting listening to great music whilst looking out at a beautiful view of the ocean down at Lorne along the Great Ocean Road.
To start with, an obscure album that I came across recently and really enjoyed, New York Psych/Hard Rock group Sabattis’s 1970 album “Warning In The Sky”.
My third early 1970s album for the day is the absolutely fabulous Krautrock album from 1975, “Broken Door” by German band Prosper
A ProgArchives contributor says “Here is a real cool album that I am sure 70's Prog jam fans will love from start to finish! Prosper is not a typical Krautrock outfit from the 70's and sounds a lot more British than anything else. Musically Prosper is a mix of King Crimson with bits of Mahavishnu, Ash Ra Temple and Pink Floyd”.
I have an alphabetical list of some choice Italian Progressive Rock that I'll be listening to on random beginning tomorrow (I have a dinner date tonight). I know there's some missing (Goblin?), but this should keep me occupied for a while.

Oh, I’m bad at “top” lists, - especially because I listen in a different way than a lot of people I know, but there are always bands that I come back to and are the usual “suspects” like Banco, PFM, Area, Le Orme, Alphatarus, Goblin, Battiato, Arti & Mestieri, Acqua Fragile, Sensations Fix, Osanna, a. o. - some of which aren’t even included here.
@rostasi Nice mix of some bands I know and a lot more I don't. Enjoy.
FWIW @peterfrederics I've been a big fan Aktuala for years. Also Stormy Six but their political lyrics, obviously in Italian, are a stumbling block, the instrumental passages are Grade A Rock In Opposition..
@rostasi - a quick scan tells me I don't recognize anyone but that won't discourage me from spending a morning or so exploring more things to catch up to this winter.
Some more not rock, but the right time line. Recently, I knew a TV game show question about a brothers band's album titled "Twist & Shout" from the 60's so I went to the archives to see if they had it there. They didn't have it but there were these. I have 6 of these on vinyl including Twist & Shout. The Isley Brothers This Old Heart Of Mine 1966 archive.org
I couldn't let @rostasi 's list go by without checking one new to me artist at random. How about Glockenspiel Rock? Keyboard (and Glock!) heavy prog in that peculiar Italian fashion. Enjoying this quite a lot. Bonkers of course.
I am continually amazed about the number of outstanding albums issued in the late 60s and early 70s that one has never heard of!
My latest discovery is the fabulous, quirky album "Piece of Mind" by Roger Bunn. Issued in 1971
AMG says "It's a delightfully weird-ass stream-of-consciousness creation, as much influenced by James Brown as Arthur Brown.......mixing soul horns, acid rock, freakbeat spaciness, jazz, and folk-pop (with elements of country and bluegrass showing up);......it all sounds cool and so magnificently laid-back that it seems too easy, low-wattage psychedelia with folk and jazz strains flowing through"
Interesting 1970 Progressive Folk s/t album by English band Justine
Progarchives says "An odd British psych folk band comprised at their peak of three female vocalists and a couple male guitar players, JUSTINE's music consisted of American West Coast acid pop combined with rather staid English contemporary folk, and blended with plenty of obvious psych influences. The result was an engaging blend of sounds that live on in their lone studio album.'
Try the 2nd track "She Brings the Morning with Her" and 7th track "Uknown Journey"
"Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy" a 1971 album with 14 "best of" by The Who.
What a great album bringing back fabulous memories!
"My Generation" still resonates in the way it did back in 1965 when I was in my teens although not so sure that I am keen on the lyric "Hope I Die Before I Get Old" any more!!!
Is there a bad track in this album? Don't think so!
Thanks to the archives I've put together a tribute to Damo Suzuki.(16 January 1950 - 9 February 2024) I only have 4 of these albums in my collection so I was happy to fill in some blanks. These are are also available through Bandcamp. German experimental rock band formed in Cologne circa 1968, initially as Inner Space and becoming "The Can" when fronted by American vocalist Malcolm Mooney. Can are well-known as one of the key pioneers of Krautrock, particularly during the era when fronted by Japanese singer Kenji "Damo" Suzuki who "turned their sound towards a crazy mixture of improvisation, noise, mantra and funk rhythms". They were constantly at the forefront of the Krautrock scene during their 10+ year history, composed music for films by directors including Roland Klick and Wim Wenders, and had an international hit with their pop satire single "I Want More" (1976).
The first Can member to go solo was Holger Czukay, and after Can split keyboard player Irmin Schmidt established a successful solo career. Other Can members also went solo and/or participated in other projects. In 1986 Czukay, Karoli, Mooney, Schmidt, and Liebezeit reformed, resulting in the album "Rite Time" (1989). In March 2003 Can received the German music industry's Echo Award for lifetime achievement.
Posthumously for some members, Can continue to inspire today and are blessed with a huge collection of tape recordings that have not seen the light of day. The Lost Tapes is part of this legacy, released in 2012, also known as Holger Czukay's pension fund. A new series is taking shape in the form of live recordings by long standing Can fans that shows the depth and wealth of the bands musical resolve.

^^^ not familiar with the movie or the sound track but it did make me think of Blind Faith.
I found this Kaleidoscope at the archives while on a David Lindley hunt. Kaleidoscope (Dan Bridgman, Eddy Pumer, Peter Daltrey, Steve Clark) English psychedelic folk and psychedelic rock band existing between 1967 and 1969. The group was formed in 1964 as The Sidekicks (8) and renamed to The Key (16) in 1965, they signed to Fontana in 1967 and released two albums as Kaleidoscope. Despite of massive airplay and touring they didn't have commercial success at the time but they retained a loyal fanbase. In 1970 they switched to the Vertigo label under the name Fairfield Parlour. A third Kaleidoscope album was recorded in 1971 but it was released only in 1991. Tangerine Dream archive.org Faintly Blowing archive.org Fairfield Parlour - From Home To Home
"Some Years: It's the Time of Colin Blunstone" a compilation derived from Colin Blunstone's post The Zombies albums, largely focusing on his outstanding 1971 album "One Year".
AMG says "If Colin Blunstone had only recorded the hits by the Zombies (such as "Tell Her No", "Time of the Season" and "She's Not There") he should and would be a household name. However, Blunstone had an equally impressive solo career. This collection documents his excellent Epic/CBS sides, especially those from his exquisite One Year album...Blunstone's original "Caroline Goodbye.....very well may be the finest record of 1970."

The band included two ex Magma members and the album is rated No. 10 by ProgArchives for the year 1978.
A 1972 album which is a heady mix of Psych and Progressive Rock
So, I am sitting listening to great music whilst looking out at a beautiful view of the ocean down at Lorne along the Great Ocean Road.

I would be surprised if this wasn't a favourite of @Brighternow as it features band members from one of his recommended bands Culpepper's Orchard
My latest discovery is the fabulous, quirky album "Piece of Mind" by Roger Bunn. Issued in 1971
AMG says "It's a delightfully weird-ass stream-of-consciousness creation, as much influenced by James Brown as Arthur Brown.......mixing soul horns, acid rock, freakbeat spaciness, jazz, and folk-pop (with elements of country and bluegrass showing up);......it all sounds cool and so magnificently laid-back that it seems too easy, low-wattage psychedelia with folk and jazz strains flowing through"
https://www.allmusic.com/album/piece-of-mind-mw0001446817
Progarchives says "An odd British psych folk band comprised at their peak of three female vocalists and a couple male guitar players, JUSTINE's music consisted of American West Coast acid pop combined with rather staid English contemporary folk, and blended with plenty of obvious psych influences. The result was an engaging blend of sounds that live on in their lone studio album.'
Try the 2nd track "She Brings the Morning with Her" and 7th track "Uknown Journey"
What a great album bringing back fabulous memories!
"My Generation" still resonates in the way it did back in 1965 when I was in my teens although not so sure that I am keen on the lyric "Hope I Die Before I Get Old" any more!!!
Is there a bad track in this album? Don't think so!
Looks like me on the front doorstep!
German experimental rock band formed in Cologne circa 1968, initially as Inner Space and becoming "The Can" when fronted by American vocalist Malcolm Mooney. Can are well-known as one of the key pioneers of Krautrock, particularly during the era when fronted by Japanese singer Kenji "Damo" Suzuki who "turned their sound towards a crazy mixture of improvisation, noise, mantra and funk rhythms". They were constantly at the forefront of the Krautrock scene during their 10+ year history, composed music for films by directors including Roland Klick and Wim Wenders, and had an international hit with their pop satire single "I Want More" (1976).
The first Can member to go solo was Holger Czukay, and after Can split keyboard player Irmin Schmidt established a successful solo career. Other Can members also went solo and/or participated in other projects. In 1986 Czukay, Karoli, Mooney, Schmidt, and Liebezeit reformed, resulting in the album "Rite Time" (1989). In March 2003 Can received the German music industry's Echo Award for lifetime achievement.
Posthumously for some members, Can continue to inspire today and are blessed with a huge collection of tape recordings that have not seen the light of day. The Lost Tapes is part of this legacy, released in 2012, also known as Holger Czukay's pension fund. A new series is taking shape in the form of live recordings by long standing Can fans that shows the depth and wealth of the bands musical resolve.

I found this Kaleidoscope at the archives while on a David Lindley hunt.
Kaleidoscope (Dan Bridgman, Eddy Pumer, Peter Daltrey, Steve Clark)
English psychedelic folk and psychedelic rock band existing between 1967 and 1969. The group was formed in 1964 as The Sidekicks (8) and renamed to The Key (16) in 1965, they signed to Fontana in 1967 and released two albums as Kaleidoscope. Despite of massive airplay and touring they didn't have commercial success at the time but they retained a loyal fanbase. In 1970 they switched to the Vertigo label under the name Fairfield Parlour. A third Kaleidoscope album was recorded in 1971 but it was released only in 1991.

and the David Lindley one.
Kaleidoscope (originally The Kaleidoscope) was an American psychedelic folk and ethnic band who recorded 4 albums and several singles for Epic Records between 1966 and 1970.

AMG says "If Colin Blunstone had only recorded the hits by the Zombies (such as "Tell Her No", "Time of the Season" and "She's Not There") he should and would be a household name. However, Blunstone had an equally impressive solo career. This collection documents his excellent Epic/CBS sides, especially those from his exquisite One Year album...Blunstone's original "Caroline Goodbye.....very well may be the finest record of 1970."
