Un buon disco proveniente dalla terra di Albione...il risultato è un po' altalenante, ci sono buoni momenti (con una buona media se consideriamo la complessità del disco) ed altri un pochino più fiacchi. Il genere è un psych-progressive-folk con alcuni accenni al canterbury dei Caravan (che io amo!) purtroppo, oltre alle buone melodie manca sempre quel pizzico di sale che avrebbe reso unico l'album!

EGG (superb prog canterbury rock)!!!!
Spero che conosciate gia gli egg e se non fosse cos' che aspettate????sono un mix di prog e canterbury sound...certamente possono essere difficili da ascoltare ma con un po' di tentativi...superlativo il versante canterbury...siamo ai livelli dei caravan!a voi!
The Polite Force (1972)
Uttelry BRILLIANT stuff! I mean, how could you not love the bizarre and HILARIOUS "Contrasong" with it's off-kilter brass arrangement, alternating 5/8 and 9/8 time signatures and bassist Mont Campbell's deadpan vocal delivery. "A Visit to Newport Hospital" recounts the band's experiences in its "Uriel" incarnation with more deadpan vocals and funny lyrics. Egg however were no jokesters when it came to their musicianship. Dave Stewart was really coming into his own with a distinct keyboard style (chiefly Hammond organ), Mont Campbell was deveoping serious compositional ability along with his solid bass work (and playing some French Horn to boot) and Clive Brooks propelling things along in rock solid fashion. "Long Piece #3" shows them developing their compostional chops in very interesting ways, while "Boilk" shows their bravery (and/or sheer craziness) in producing a piece of what might be termed "Musique Concrete" (or organized sound), throwing in everything and LITERALLY including the kitchen sink at the beginning. Definitely not for fans of easy, safe inoffensive pop, but for those who love their experimentalism with LOTS of droll British humor, it's a treasure trove, DIG IN!!!

Ora - Ora(1969 prog folk)

Quiet Sun - Mainstream (1975 canterbury)
So strange that this album is so overlooked. Yet the formation is upstanding: Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera on guitar, Matching Mole's Bill McCormick on Bass, This Heat's Charles Haywardon drums and good jazzy keyboard player Dave Jarrett.
The album is greatly accomplished, with a unique sound fusing Canterbury, Space Rock and Hard Rock in a very personal psychedelic sound. Amazing rhythm section, uplifting guitar and bass "warm" sound à la "Here Come the Warm Jets" reminding of Matching Mole and very good electric piano work. The tracks are all instrumental, with a jazzy feeling, and the album is a complete standout which should be in every music collection, especially if you love progressive rock.

blues creation - demon & eleven children (hard blues jap 71)
Qualche giorno fa ho fatto una discussione all'uni riguarda alla musica giapponese e solo allora mi sono accorto di non aver messo niente proveniente dal sol levante!a voi questa gemma dimenticata!ottime musiche con una impressionante varieta tra blues /hard rock fino a quei standard abbastanza "scuri" tipici dei Sabbath con un eccellente lavoro dellechitarre!molto molto bello e consigliato!
VERY GOOD HEAVY BLUES ALBUM. MORE BETTER THEN DEBUT.

Kimio Mizutani - A Path Through Haze(1971 canterbury)
Reminds me of Hatfield and the North. A bit heavier guitar though. Interesting!
