Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday September 15th. Dan’s pick of the week: Premiata Forneria Marconi (Per Un Amico), Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso (Io Sono Nato Libero), Fabrizio De André (Non Al Denaro Non All’amore Né Al Cielo), Area (Crac!), Osanna (Palepoli), Alphataurus (Alphataurus) & Premiata Forneria Marconi (Live in USA).

Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) is een Italiaanse progressieve rockgroep die in 1970 werd opgericht en tot op heden bestaat. Zij waren de eerste Italiaanse groep die internationaal succes had. De groep nam tussen 1973 en 1977 vijf albums op met Engelse teksten. In die periode kwamen ze zowel in de Britse als de Amerikaanse hitlijsten binnen.

In november 1972 komt Premiata Forneria Marconi op de proppen met Per Un Amico, een album dat niet alleen te boek staat als een commercieel succes, maar ook artistiek een mijlpaal mag worden genoemd.… Read more...

Rock On! Wednesday, 27 July – Mike Oldfield, Vangelis, Renaissance, Sky & Magma

Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday September 15th. Dan’s pick of the week: Mike Oldfield (Ommadawn), Vangelis (Albedo 0.39), Renaissance (Prologue), Sky (Sky) & Magma (Hhaï).

Ommadawn is het derde album van Mike Oldfield. Een prachtig, grotendeels instrumentaal opus dat net als voorgangers Tubular Bells en Hergest Ridge bestaat uit een briljante mengeling van klassiek, folk en rock. Allerlei muzikale thema`s dwarrelen om de luisteraar heen.

Prog Archives review: “This truly beautiful piece of work is among Mike Oldfield’s finest. The opening section is enchanting and flows perfectly. Just like this artist’s other albums, there’s a fabulous mixture of sounds coming from a variety of instruments, including the organ, flute, bells and pipes.

It’s the best album for its structure and relaxing moods throughout.… Read more...
