Rock On! Wednesday, 14 April – Thick As A Brick (Jethro Tull, Spirogyra, The Pentangle, Tim Buckley, Carmen)

Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday December 23rd. Dan’s pick of the week: Jethro Tull (Thick As A Brick), Spirogyra (St. Radigunds), The Pentangle (Cruel Sister), Tim Buckley (Starsailor) & Carmen (Fandangos in Space).

Thick as a Brick is het vijfde studioalbum van de Britse rockband Jethro Tull. Het werd uitgebracht in maart 1972. Fred Nieuwesteeg van Prog Wereld: “Het was in die tijd niet ongebruikelijk om ellenlang nummers te maken die tot wel een hele plaatkant in beslag namen. Anderson ging bij zijn oekaze helemaal over de top en ook dit fenomeen nam hij op de hak door Thick As A Brick als één nummer te schrijven. Alleen de bekende praktische beperkingen van de lp noodzaakten hem halverwege een break in te lassen.… Read more...

Rock On! Wednesday, 31 March – Fragile (Yes, Eloy, Rick Wakeman, Camel, Grobschnitt)

Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday December 23rd. Dan’s pick of the week: Yes (Fragile), Eloy (Inside), Rick Wakeman (The Six Wives of Henry VIII), Semiramis (Dedicato A Frazz), Camel (Camel) & Grobschnitt (Grobschnitt).

Fragile is het vierde album van de Britse symfonische rockband Yes. Dit is het eerste album waarop toetsenist Rick Wakeman meespeelt, die Tony Kaye verving na The Yes Album.

Classic Rock Review: “The album was recorded in September 1971 and co-produced by Eddy Offord, who worked on most of the band’s earliest material. During the recordings there was a major lineup change, reportedly due to keyboardist Tony Kaye’s refusal to embrace the Moog synthesizer and stick exclusively to the Hammond organ.… Read more...
