    Seesselberg - Synthetik 1 (1973)


  • Atila - Reviure (1978)


  • On holiday in Greece and all these great new discoveries as I sit on the beach listening to music! That is whilst I am not busy exploring extraordinary ruins from the Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian eras!

    Today, thanks to @rostasi, it’s Day of Phoenix, Atila and Marian Varga.
    Sounds great! Then what you need is some recent fusion from Athens!



  • It's a long time since I listened to this 2014 release - it's very enjoyable.
  • I first heard 16 Horsepower on a sampler album Wanna Buy A Monkey? and immediately knew they were a group I had to hear more of. Over the years I've managed to put together a pretty decent collection of their albums including their frontman David Eugene Edwards (Wovenhand) and bandmates Jean-Yves TolaPascal Humbert (Lilium). 

    From the first


    through to my latest addition.

    AtlasBlå Vardag (1979)



    Symphonic Prog doesn't always sit well with me, but I really enjoyed this. Thanks. I've lots of catching up to do with your recommendations, no bad thing!
  • I don't know how much of what I'm posting are actually recommendations
    rather than just a current audio dip into my past. For example: this first LP
    from Eroc brings forth beautiful memories for me of sitting in the passenger's
    seat of a car that had a moonroof (in 1975, having this was kind of a rarity)
    listening to Kleine Eva on the radio while watching shooting stars overhead.

    Still, I'm happy that some folks will enjoy them and make new discoveries.

    Eroc - Eroc (1975)

    I always treat this thread as exactly what it says it is - what are you listening to right now.
    Given the people who hang out here, if one of them is listening to something that at least suggests it's interesting.
  • Necronomicon - Tips zum Selbstmord (1972) 

    [the version with bonus tracks]

  • Nine Days Wonder - S/T (1971)

    This originally came with a green foam cover.
    Mine is, amazingly, mostly still intact (I hope).
    Engineered by the (in)famous Dieter Dierks.

    The UK issue on Harvest is a bit peculiar as well. Looks almost like that Cornish delight a Stargazey Pie.

    Primary

    I thought that I only had Only The Dancers (dancing toothbrushes on cover!) and I do on cd but it turns out that somehow I have digital copies of all the albums I think they were released as 2-on-1 cds.

  • Live - The Way We Walk Volume Two The Longs
     I haven't played this in a long time, I'd forgotten how much i liked it!

    Just back from two weeks in Sweden and Denmark. Whilst in Denmanrk I did think of Brighternow a few times. WE heard some great jazz in a couple of bars in Sockholm and another in Malmo, but didn't find any in Copenhagen
  • Tyll - Sexphonie (1975)

    Return To Ommadawn
    I'm having a curious experience with this. I picked it up because of the extremely low price at the link. When I focus in on particular passages I am not sure how much I like it. And I am not sure I could hum one of the melodies. But when I've played it I keep wanting to hear it again. I've played it through half a dozen times now and still feel an itch to play it again. I think that means I like it?
  • Baianá (Brasingles vol. 2) by Barbatuques
    Chosen at random from the bandcamp live sales feed. And kind of fun.

    Agreed.  Every now and then, I'll post the album cover of what I'm currently listening to at that time.  If I had to guess what triggers it, I would posit that I'm not only enjoying the particular album but also that I'm really enjoying the act of listening to music at that time... that the simple, sublime joy of kicking back with some good music is especially precious to me in that moment, and I want to share with others the music associated with it.


    Elliott Smith - "Either/Or" (expanded edition)

  • edited October 2022

    Their first album was more folky.
    On this one, they got rid of the vocals and 
    moved closer to bands like Xhol or Annexus Quam
    with slightly more Canterbury-like leanings.

    Tomorrow's Gift - Goodbye Future (1973)

    I've heard that the two best jazz clubs in Copenhagen are La Fontaine and Jazzhus Montmartre.
    There's another half-dozen or so, but those two are the most well-known.
  • Baba Yaga - Collage (1974)


  • Jürgen Karg - Elektronische Mythen (1978)


  • Seven That Spells - Men From Dystopia (2007)



  • In and Out of the Garden - Six shows from MSG, 81, 82, 83 (17 discs). Currently spinning the first, 3/9/1981

  • ^^^ What is this? ^^^

  • 1st lp by a UK Post rock group. Name is a bit difficult to read on the cover.

    Yndi Halda - "Under Summer"
    It kind of reminds me how I remember The Clientele sounding (though it's been ages since I listened to "The Violet Hour").


  • Thanks! It looked interesting,
    but I couldn't tell what it was 
    and there was absolutely no link.
    I'll check it out.

    I didn't know it either,  just Googled the name. I would have posted a link but I'm afraid that's beyond my abilities on a phone. Still it's one way for @Lowlife to get folk interested in the album! :D
