Rock On! Wednesday, 17 February – As Your Mind Flies By (Rare Bird, Magna Carta, Skin Alley, Novalis, Fruupp)

Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday December 23rd. Dan’s pick of the week: Rare Bird (As Your Mind Flies By), Magna Carta (Songs From Wasties Orchard), Skin Alley (To Pagham And Beyond…), Novalis (Banished Bridge), Duncan Browne (Give Me Take You) & Fruupp (Future Legends).

Rare Bird wordt misschien het best herinnerd omdat ze de eer hadden de eerste groep te zijn die werd uitgebracht op het label Charisma Records (dat ook de thuisbasis werd van Genesis, The Nice en Van Der Graaf Generator om er maar een paar te noemen). Vergeten we ook niet hun uitstekende hitsingle ‘Sympathy’ uit 1970.

Erik Groeneweg van Prog Wereld: “Rare Bird had geen gitarist. Grote man Graham Field verklaarde ooit in een interview dat – in termen van ruig en gemeen – een gitaar geen partij was voor een elektrische piano met een fuzz-pedaal.… Read more...

Rock On! Wednesday, 3 February – Roxy Music (Roxy Music, 10CC, Quatermass, Kevin Ayers, Sparks)

Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday December 23rd. Dan’s pick of the week: Roxy Music (Roxy Music), 10CC (10CC), Quatermass (Quatermass), Kevin Ayers (Whatevershebringswesing) & Sparks (A Woofer In Tweeter’s Clothing).

Roxy Music werd 50 jaar geleden opgericht door zanger en toetsenist Bryan Ferry die, samen met een aantal van zijn bandleden, van dezelfde Engelse kunstacademie afstamde als The Who en The Rolling Stones. Roxy Music voelde dan ook altijd conceptueel aan – ze waren doelbewust experimenteel, decadent en futuristisch, en er was altijd een opzettelijk visueel element in hun imago.

Zachary Hoskins van Spectrum Culture: “More to the point, Roxy’s self-titled debut is simply a great album. Few other groups have arrived on the scene with such a distinctive, fully-formed aesthetic: the ever-so-slightly queered glamour of cover model Kari-Ann Muller; the stilted, quavering vibrato of Ferry’s vocals and the art-damaged analogue synth noise of resident conceptualist Brian Eno.… Read more...
