    Baba Yaga - Collage (1974)



    That's a great album, thanks for the reminder. Also thanks for the Jurgen Karg tip which was new to me.

    1st lp by a UK Post rock group. Name is a bit difficult to read on the cover.
    It was their second release. I still return to their first one every now and then:

    True enough but on discogs your example is listed as an e.p. whereas the other later release is their first/only album.

    It's Autumn, so now we will listen to Nick Drake all of the time.

    That’s at best ambiguous. Enjoy eternal bliss was first put out self-released with three tracks, and the bandcamp release page does mention an EP, but the final label release had four tracks and is 65 minutes long, and the anniversary release page on the band’s bandcamp clearly refers to it as an album. I recall no indication at time of release that it was being presented as an EP and it was reviewed at the time as a debut album in major outlets, e.g. here https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/10131-enjoy-eternal-bliss/. I am inclined to think discogs is wrong on this one. It’s clearly album length at any rate.

    Ha Ha That's great I knew we'd get bogged down with further complications. And I should know better than to trust Discogs! Still the music is fine enough and that's the main point! :)
  • A chilly Fall day here with some showers on their way. I think these should fit in nicely.

    Agreed!

  • Bought last month when BC Friday restarted. I love most things Hubro but I'm really enjoying the close-mic'd sound of this trio. Cello, Hardanger fiddle, Vibraphone & tuned glasses.





  • Newish release from crossover band Kokoroko. Influences of jazz, high life and soul amongst others. Avaialble for 20% off today like all Brownswood recordings.

    Brilliant album. Thanks to @Germanprof for the intro from some time back

  • Manal s/t hard rock album from 1970

    One of the best examples of early Argentinian rock by the band often called the "Argentinian Cream"

  • PrimaryPrimary

    Personally I'm going to blame the Freeman Brothers because of the feature in Audion 71 which just so happened to be published yesterday on Bandcamp Friday. Classic Italian prog which I haven't paid enough attention to recently. Can't wait to dive into the Argentinian feature in Audion which will doubtless result in much "research".

  • Well it had to happen - off on Italian journey. Interesting debute album from Area given the rather worrying (ironic?) album title.

    Hi I will certainly do so. Do you follow Audion? I ask as both groups feature in the article in #71. I haven't got passed the first album yet which can be found nice and a tad crackly on YouTube




  • Elvis Costello - Punch the Clock
  • @djh no, I haven't followed Audion so thanks for your suggestion. I have dowloaded it and look forward to having a good read.

    Really enjoyed listening to Agnus.

  • A blog I follow devotes most of October to Halloween offerings. Quite a funky prog Hammond and sax offering for a supposed bunch of Satanists. I think this is fairly well known in underground (where else?) circles. An English band the album came out on CBS in 1970 and actually charted at #32. Not quite underground then...
