Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday August 15th. Dan’s pick of the week: Moondog (Moondog), The Residents (Meet The Residents), Frank Zappa (Hot Rats), John Cale (Paris 1919), The Velvet Underground (The Velvet Underground & Nico) & Henry Cow (In Praise of Learning).
Moondog was de artiestennaam van Louis T. Hardin, een Amerikaans componist, musicus en dichter. Behalve nieuwe muziek vond hij ook nieuwe instrumenten uit, hoewel hij blind was.
Sputnik Music review: “For 30 years, many simply considered Louis Thomas Hardin, Jr. to be one of the more eccentric vagrants that line Manhattan’s walkways. Few New Yorkers knew that when they flipped their spare change to the spear-toting, horn-capped, wispy-bearded “Viking of Sixth Avenue” they were giving to a man who had transcended insurmountable conditions, acquired blindness and homelessness, to become one of the 20th century’s most gifted and under-recognized musicians.

Ok Goodnight is een progressieve rock en metal band, die muzikale invloeden als Dream Theater en The Mars Volta combineert. Ze werden gevormd door studenten aan het Berklee College of Music in Boston. Dit is het tweede album van de Amerikaanse band.
Wonderbox Metal review: “The Fox and the Bird contains 52 minutes of modern progressive metal that brings together a variety of influences into a multifaceted whole. A foundation of progressive metal and rock is enriched with elements of pop, jazz, and indie to create music that’s charismatic and highly textured. (…)
It’s clear that a lot of time and care has gone into these songs. With a compelling narrative that ties each track together, and a clear vision for how each individual song and component should sound not only in its own right, but in reference to everything else here, The Fox and the Bird is engaging and immersive.… Read more...
