THE IDLE RACE, THE MOVE

Idle Race cover

Before joining The Move and finding world-wide fame with ELO, Jeff Lynne played in a band called The Idle Race. As a result of Lynne’s input in terms of singing and song-writing, The Idle Race sound very much like an early version of ELO. They also recorded a song written by Roy Wood of The Move, but withdrew it as a single when The Move released their own version (Here We Go, ‘Round the Lemon Tree).  As it a happens, Lynn and Move had both been in Mike Sheridan and The Nightriders, though not at the same time…
From Wikipedia:
“While Mike Sheridan and The Nightriders failed to crack the charts, the band’s line-up during this period included a young lead guitarist and composer named Roy Wood whose first commercial song “Make Them Understand,” appeared on one of the band’s B-sides in 1965.… Read more...

2nd Art Rock Show: L’Isolamento Dei Numeri Pari

Astrolabio - L'Isolamento Dei Numeri Pari

Tweede show van 2015! Second show of 2015! Astrolabio (L’Isolamento Dei Numeri Pari), Comedy Of Errors (Fanfare And Fantasy), Life Line Project (The King), Fates Warning (Parallels), Cast (Originallis), Cosmos (Skygarden) and Santana (Abraxas).

We brengen het nieuwe album L’Isolamento Dei Numeri Pari van Astrolabio. De Italiaanse prog rockband ging aanvankelijk door het leven als Elettrosmog. Na een personeelswissel in 2009 veranderde de naam in Astrolabio. Na een demo in 2012, werd twee jaar later het album L’Isolamento Dei Numeri Pari uitgebracht. Prog Archives.com review: “With eye catching and colourful artwork that instantly reminds of P.F.M `L’Iisola Di Niente’, Astrolabio have delivered a grand and impressive work that I truly believe has a timeless quality, an album that instantly leaves a strong impression and shows off the talent and diversity of the band to great effect.

FREE ANGELA

Free Angela Davis

“Free Angela” is a compilation cd released in 1971 to help raise funds for the liberation of black activist (and communist, oh my soul!) Angela Davis.

Secret Stash Records says: “Amidst the socially and politically tumultuous 1960s and 1970s, Angela Davis emerged as one of the era’s most controversial figures.… Read more...

PARIS: CIDISC & JUKE BOX MAGAZINE

Jukebox magazine logo

CIDISC is the name of a record fair held in Paris a few times a year, but in fact it’s much more than just  record fair.  As it happens, several artists and bands have a stall there, selling their latest records or releases, while talking to fans and autographing any items the collector has brought along. Several authors also have a stall there, selling and autographing their books – be it an autobiography or a study on a particular item related to pop music.
Moreover, there’s always a showcase or a concert – live at the premises – featuring sixties stars and younger artists who revive the genre,  focusing France and the early sixties.… Read more...

1st Art Rock Show: The Endless River

Pink-Floyd-The-Endless-River

Eerste show van 2015! First show of 2015! Pink Floyd (Endless River), The Flower Kings (Tour Kaputt), Haken (Visions), Demians (Mercury), Steven Wilson (The Raven That Refused To Sing) and Cardiacs (On Land And In The Sea).

De legendarische rockband Pink Floyd komt na lange tijd met een geheel nieuw album. “The Endless River is in meer dan één betekenis een zwanenzang en een slotakkoord. Het is een eerbetoon aan de weggevallen toetsenist Rick Wright. Niet toevallig opent de plaat met zijn stem, van over het graf: ‘There’s a lot of things left unsaid…’ Of zoals Gilmour onlangs over het talent én het karakter van zijn vriend zei You don’t know a good thing until it’s gone.” (Humo)

Progarchives.com review: “Your reaction to ‘The Endless River’ will depend on the level of anger/Waters you’re looking for.… Read more...
