Chick Corea Elektric Band II

Warsaw, Poland

April 8th 1994

Slightly tweaked soundboard.

C.T.A. had issues and we lost a bit during the fix but I think it's much less annoying now.

There are few other minor glitches but it's generally good sound and a great peformance.

Originally a free download on the band's website which was only ever available in mp3.
The bitrate was low but I ripped it from my CDs at 320.
Excellent sound quality anyway.
I really like Echolyn, they have made many great albums.
Good to hear the full 50 minute Mei played live.

Progglådan Box A: Tung Rock & Blues CD105

November/Panta Rei

November (pictured below) were quite popular I believe.

Descibed as Sweden's first heavy metal band.

They sound a bit like Cream or early Led Zeppelin.

Perhaps a more dynamic vocalist would have benefitted them?

Not bad at all but I doubt Clapton or Page would have had anything to worry about

although bands from outside the UK/US cartel never had an even playing field anyway.

Panta Rei (Everything Flows...or something like that) are really good.

Inspired by the philosophy of Heraclitus.

Not to be confused with Panta Rhei, the Hungarian band.

(an easy mistake to make...Ed.)

First track reminds me of Canned Heat.

It goes on a real journey after that!

You wouldn't believe it was all the same band.

They only made one (excellent) LP at the time.

There was a reunion album in the mid 2010s.

Steve Hackett Acoustic Trio

Teatro Saschall

Firenze, Italy

April 26th 2005

Remastered audience recording.

Although our Florentine friends are generally respectful and attentive

their applause after each piece dwarfed the music

so it was difficult/challenging to work with.

I tried my best to do it justice.

Anyone who is British, and of a certain age, will remember the opening tune.

When rodents were tortured by being forced onto a plastic toy boat

...much to our delight!

Had Hammy Hamster been a water rat he would have jumped ship at the first opportunity.

I struggled with the setlist but hopefully I'm not too far off with the titles.

There are many improvs and references to different compositions.

Peel has connections to Kevin Michael 'GG' Allin (born Jesus Christ Allin)

who is/was...er...shall we say interesting?

Worth a wiki.

Steeleye Span

A Rare Collection 1972-1996

An old Australian compilation of bits and pieces.

I replaced Mandalaband's 'Like the Wind' with a better quality copy

and did a few more other tweaks.

Might even be an upgrade for the hard-core Spanners!

This brought back vague memories of the TV series Stookie.

The Singing Ringing Tree 1957

Reposted from September 2021

Based on 'Hurleburlebutz' by the Brothers Grimm.

It scared us all to death when we were kids..

Mainly because of the wicked dwarf played by Richard Krüger.

It's an East German production filmed in such lurid colour

that you may need to wear sunglasses to watch it.

This DVD has a rather complex menu but with some effort

you'll find you can view it with just the original German soundtrack

or with additional narration in English, French or Spanish.

Roy Buchanan 

American Axe Tracks

Volume One - In The Beginning

1957-64

A remastered overview of Roy Buchanan's early recorded output.

He started his professional career aged 15 in Johnny Otis's rhythm and blues revue.

From home recordings to his first pro slot on 'My Babe'

and onto other tracks which featured his guitar playing.

Sound quality varies, as you can imagine,

but overall it's well worth a listen if you are interested in Roy.

There is more info on the inner CD cover.

Love Echolyn so I wanted to share this assuming I'm not their only fan on TLD?

It's plagued by hiss and hum but Interesting to hear.

This is a short raio broadcast which I got from marlosin in 2007.

(don't often give credits to sources because I'm not sure where I got things)

...it said 'marlosin' in the file.

I am surprised they have never achieved the (albeit limited) status

of bands like The Flower Kings or Spock's Beard.

I have all their albums.

in a different mix on 'Ship Arriving too Late to Save a Drowning Witch'.

Several other tracks appeared on later albums with extensive overdubs.
