Maybe,  but posting example tracks gives people who don't know these bands an impression what they sound like. So I think this thread definitely has its purpose.

Hatfield's finest - Babe Ruth:

I actually need Deep Purple-esque bands to fill in my heavy prog collection, recently i've been getting into more Keyboard-Guitar oriented bands such as Lucifer's Friend, Warhorse, etc

Check out the Band Black Country Communion featuring ex Purple singer/bassist Glenn Hughes,Jason Bonham,Derreck sherrinian from Dream Theater in keys and super star guitarist Joe Bonamassa.They put out 3 awsome albums a couple years ago and the band was formed in the Deep Purple sound.

I bought this album on vinyl back in '72 or '73 and it features one of Roger Dean's first album covers (I think chronologically it may be his third cover (after Gun and Atomic Rooster) but I believe it may be the first to employ his distinctive landscape style). It's not a great album, but it's not a bad one either.
What?

Hi,
 
Heavy:
 
I can't help hearing Vivian Stanshall saying that word!
 
Gong - Floating Anarchy - non stop assault, more online with acid/psychedelic rock, but it's still heavy and when you hear Gilly say magick brothers and mystic sisters, you know that she is not kidding and this is not some new age bull$hit!

Their first album, "First Base" opens with a Frank Zappa piece. "King Kong".
 
And what an absolutely great show they put on at the Whiskey a Go Go, as they were the opening act to Iggy and the Stooges. And Janita Haan, made Iggy look like a stupid kid on the stage! She was singing. He was just screaming!
 
We walked out a third of the way into the Stooges. Didn't want to spoil the night for Babe Ruth!

Enjoy
Listened to it! Big smile It was awesome, the only thing that bothers me from Spooky Tooth is that their 70s album somehow had different mixing style compared to the likes of their 60s albums


They were inconsistent, true; best bet is to checkout this album:



Worth it for their version of the Beatles's 'I Am The Walrus' alone

Joaquin Lievano.

What I especially like about the 1978 Guru Guru live album is the double lead guitar on many tracks. Dieter Bornschlegel and Roland Schaeffer are both excellent guitar players, and these duets can be heard whenever Schaeffer is not needed on sax (on which he is equally excellent)..
What I found to be really amazing was how they played so fast and clean with such beautiful "feel". You can play really rapid , producing 30 or 40 notes quickly and sound dull. They had this developed melodic approach existing in the presentation of their playing and it was very schooled, but completely natural. The 2 guitarists (forget their names), from the band Edhels were very great and for the same reasons. Most of their cd's are over priced , deleted, and perhaps they were dropped from the Musea label and apparently no other label has found them interesting enough to release their back catalog.
