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...

Rock On! Wednesday, 17 March – Hoelderlins Traum (Hoelderlin, Bröselmaschine, Kraan, Out Of Focus, Wallenstein)

Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday December 23rd. Dan’s pick of the week: Hoelderlin (Hoelderlins Traum), Bröselmaschine (Bröselmaschine), Rufus Zuphall (Phallobst), Kraan (Kraan), Out Of Focus (Out Of Focus) & Wallenstein (Blitzkrieg).

De Duitse band Hölderlin debuteerde met een merkwaardige mengeling van folky protestliedjes in combinatie met symfonische rock. Prog Archives review: “This absolutely delightful record is an incredibly successful mix of medieval ambiances, stunning 60’s folk rock, slight Indian music influences, the whole thing sprinkled with a tad of hippy idealism and great progressive arrangements including the odd Mellotron. From the opening Waren Wir to the closing Traum (dream), the album is invitation fly out of our realm and head for Nirvana, paradise, Eden, Babylon, with flaunts of flutes, loads of Hamonds, Trons of Mello, guitars strings by the dozens and superb vocals both male and female.… Read more...
