ACHIM REICHEL (A. R. & MACHINES) - ECHO (1971)
polydor

Reichel was a key figure in the '60s Germany. He rocked. Then he founded a group in which he began to make psych/kraut "rock" and published this maddafugging album in '71. Here you can almost listen to Roy Montgomery. Truly surprising.

It's the traveliest record I own. Just like your room is full of smoke and you have a world on your body.

NO TICKETS REQUIRED

IAMTHEMORNING - ~ (2012)

Dalla Russia un ottimo disco folk-neoclassico-progrock-musica da camera. Eleganza e una bellissima donna che canta.

Some Folkish neo classical prog from Russia.

Pop influences are also present and the listening is fresh, both demanding and immediatly rewarding.

THE FUCKING SEA

CITY OF CATERPILLAR - CITY OF CATERPILLAR (2002)

The first post screamo record ever. The best so far maybe. Several years before the second.

Massive build ups, god-like musicianship.

Their only album. Cult.

NOT MY USUAL EMERGING BAND. A TRUE PIECE OF HISTORY TODAY. VINYL QUOTED TO €450+ IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

KEVIN AYERS - WHATEVERSHEBRINGSWESING (1972)

Sono mancato per un pò, ma per farmi perdonare ora vi ingozzo. Kevin era un polistrumentista pigrone che ogni tanto si svegliava col vezzo di fare un capolavoro. Poi si tirava un'altra pera.



Sorry for the absence, I'm gonna post like a poor bastard (to be forgiven).

Kevin seldom called some friends to record a masterpiece, when he felt like it.

This is one. I am perfectly aware of how badly I'm writing this. So stop reading and make this yours!

HE PASSED AWAY RECENTLY. THIS MEANS HE WILL PROBABLY FADE AWAY FROM YOU EVEN MORE. SO THIS COULD BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO HEAR THIS. UP TO YOU.

CULT OF LUNA - VERTIKAL (2013)

Arrivano ogni 5-6 anni, puntuali come una cometa. Questa volta sono passati davvero vicino alla Terra e un pò della polvere della loro scia ci è caduta sul capo. In quanti stavamo guardando il cielo, mentre loro si bruciavano in luce?

I often think Umea, Sweden, is a magic city. It put out Cult of Luna, Refused, Meshuggah.

At today, COL is probably the best around between the three.

As Neurosis seem to fade, someone else seems emerging...

PREPARE FOR THE BEHEMOTH

CIRCLE TAKES THE SQUARE - DECOMPOSITIONS VOL. 1 (2012)

Lo so, mi sono fatto aspettare più di un mese. Comunque: è il nuovo album. 8 anni di lavoro. Questo post non è per chi non li conosce: non li capireste. Ma se conoscete As The Roots Undo.. bè...

Finally they're back. I still have to hear it, but if you listened to As The Roots Undo,

well,

you should understand how euphoric I am...

 BANDCAMP (SCUSATE LA MIA PAUSA RIFLESSIONE/SORRY FOR THE HIATUS)

Gente cazzuta...

CALLISTO - NOIR (2006)

 

Post ste minchie con contaminazioni doom/prog/ambient e strumenti improbabili.

Ah, pezzi ispiratissimi.

Finnish post/prog/ambient/doom/metal band which can't wait to show you its capabilities.

Of songwriting, of singing, of recording...

...AND SO MUCH MORE... 

 

KING CRIMSON - STARLESS AND BIBLE BLACK (1974)

 

Album non molto conosciuto nella discografia dei King Crimson, ma che è di una qualità eccelsa in ogni suo solco. Post Rock, nel 74.

In 1974, post rockers existed, and their name was KC.

Superb line-up, superb tracks, superb album.

One of those you are pleased to learn by heart.

HALF JAM; HALF STUDIO; A LOAD OF PLEASURE 

just the fucking greatest shit.

 

VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR - THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS WAVE TO EACH OTHER (1970)

Una batteria spaventosamente cangiante e jazzistica sopra un organo estremamente mobile e gotico sopra un sax schizzatissimo che si contorce nella sofferenza.

E sopra tutto ciò, una Voce che non conosce riposo.

Very obscure and rage filled record. The line-up is drums, sax, organ and Vox.

No bass nor guitar, still extremely beautiful. And one of the best singers of all time.

Pretty unusual, huh?

NO REGRETS BEHIND THIS STATEMENT

HIGH TIDE - SEA SHANTIES (1969)

Vi voglio bene. Questa gente qui faceva psychmetalgaze ubereffettato nel 1969, con affoghi di distorsioni, un violino e pezzi spaccamascellamente distruttivi. Poi non dite che non vi voglio bene.

Don't tell me about Black Sabbath. THIS is 60's metal, and fuckyou.

Great, destroying psych-trips, please try it.

Wah-wahd violin and Jesu-like (metalgaze-like, let's say it) guitar... mmm.
