Rock On! Wednesday, March 8, 2023 – Los Canarios, Crack, Mezquita, Asfalto & Iceberg

Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday March 8th. Dan’s pick of the week: Los Canarios (Ciclos), Crack (Si Todo Hiciera), Mezquita (Recuerdos De Mi Tierra), Asfalto (Asfalto) & Iceberg (Coses Nostres).

Ciclos is een studioalbum van de Spaanse rockband Los Canarios. Het album is muzikaal een breuk met de vorige albums van de band. De combinatie van rock en jazz wordt verlaten voor symfonische rock.

Prog Archives review: “This is a monumental album. A potentially cheesy concept, a space opera with music based on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, ought to have fallen flat on its face, especially at 73 minutes running time. But it’s such an explosion of unbridled creativity that it just plain works.

The songs are excellent and the choral arrangements are stunning.… Read more...

Rock On! Wednesday, February 22, 2023 – Led Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple & Cream

Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday January 25th. Dan’s pick of the week: Led Zeppelin (Physical Graffiti), The Who (Who’s Next), Black Sabbath (Vol. 4), Deep Purple (Burn) & Cream (Goodbye).

Jeffrey van Metalfan.nl: ”

Om de release in de tijdsgeest te plaatsen: de legendarische rockband was in 1975 immens populair. Stadions liepen vol en de albums vlogen over de toonbank. De zesde full-length bereikte net als de andere platen de multiplatinumstatus. Toen de nieuwe release in de hitlijst belandde, kwamen ook alle andere vijf albums weer in de charts terug.

De rocksensatie besloot een dubbel-lp van Physical Graffiti te maken (net als andere artiesten rond die tijd) toen de acht songs, die in eerste instantie de tracklist vormden, de maximale speeltijd voor een plaat overschreden. … Read more...

Rock On! Wednesday, February 8, 2023 – Birth Control, Guru Guru, Lucifer’s Friend, Pavlov’s Dog & Frumpy

Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday January 25th. Dan’s pick of the week: Birth Control (Operation), Guru Guru (Guru Guru), Lucifer’s Friend (Where the Groupies Killed the Blues), Pavlov’s Dog (Pampered Menial) & Frumpy (Frumpy Live).

Birth Control is een Duitse krautrockband, wiens grootste succes het nummer Gamma Ray uit 1972 is. Lange stukken en solo-intermezzo’s van de individuele instrumenten, met name de drumsolo’s, zijn kenmerkend voor haar muziek.

Victor Guimarães van Tomymostalas: “Recorded in 1971, Operation is Birth Control’s second studio album, and it brought more of the good old progressive rock from the 70s. It originally consisted of six tracks, but when it was re-released in 1997, five more tracks from related singles were added.… Read more...
