Speaking of short albums, I was listening to my new acquisition "Normal Love" yesterday, and it was over before I knew it. Turns out it was only about 32 minutes long. Which is weird because it's so densely composed that it probably has at least an hour of music compressed into that time.

Nice choice Sagi
I have the original Swedish version El Ahrairah - the one with the bunny on the front cover. The music is the same though. I guess it's pretty easy selling Swedish prog to the English speaking world, when you never use vocals. Smart guy.

I had and still have a big crush on the dude, his fuzzy sound hits me exactly in the right spot, I love artists that sounds like that.

Heavy organ, hot guitar, long songs, tolerable vocals. Everything you want from a seventies prog/progressive rock band. Or psychedelic/space rock if you're being politically correct.

"Mountains" Steamhammer (UK) A definite favorite from 1970. Hard rock with great guitar and solid bass (especially on the live track).

Yes, I will admit that originally it was the cover that got my attention. I wasn't familiar with the band but I took a chance and bought it anyway. The title track alone was worth the cost of the album.

^ You are so correct. What an album !! Norman's raspy vocals are an acquired taste, though. One of my favourite Roger Dean artworks.

Some of the other bands I like have unusual vocal styles (Pavlov's Dog for example). I try to listen to the sound of the voice as if it were another instrument.
