Sorry, I forgot to post a video clip!

I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!!

Almost any album by Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes, but especially Paix (1974).

Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

Hi,

Same lineup that played the SF Progressive Music Festival. Just not sure which came first ... although it was suggested that half the equipment used in the SF show was Erik Nordanler's, as apparently they could not get nearly everything Per wanted or was looking for. Still made for a really good show, and they were tight and presented themselves well ... with only one sad side ... the number of folks that came to that whole thing was sad ... probably half the number it needed and all the bands in it, did a superb job ... with some outstanding shows ... I suppose the only sad one I thought about was Brand X ... with only one original, and while nice, and sounding good, the other folks could not make it sound better and stronger ... I almost think they were the weakest point, although the only one I did not enjoy much of was Buckethead .... if he had a real band with him, it would make his show much more interesting. Instead you fall asleep after 10 minutes!

Magdelana passed away Christmas 2007. She also played the violin, not just sing with Per.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Francis Likrish (of the Enid) has released two albums (one as Secret Green) with Hillary Palmer on vocals, and they are both fantastic. Not from the 70s but he's best well known as the Enids guitarist from the 70s, so he's of that era.

Affinity was a short-lived band from the original British progressive rock movement. Affinity's self-titled album, released in 1970, showcases an ingenious eclectic blend of early jazz-rock, psychedelic blues-rock, pop, and folk influences. The band was fronted by the powerful vocalist Linda Hoyle.

The album opens with "I Am and So Are You," a song with cryptic lyrics that set the tone for the rest of the record. Other standout tracks include "Night Flight," which features a melancholic opening before bursting into life with impressive energy and vigour; "I Wonder If I'll Care As Much," an Everly Brothers cover that tugs at the heartstrings; and "Mr. Joy," a bluesy song with lyrics that leave one wondering about the identity of "Mr. Joy."

The grand finale is a pulsating progressive rock cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower," which clocks in at 11 minutes and showcases the singing abilities of Linda Hoyle and the band's raw power and sheer delight.

Always loved the song, "Night Flight". Linda Hoyle is a favorite of mine... It's not prog, but "Paper Tulips" is a beautiful song.

... Surrounded by the Stars ...

And another vocal highlight from Renate.

...

Hi,

I kind of wished that Renate had done a solo album, however, as is the case in one CD, I think that she might be the one person in the band that did not want to rehearse and try to make things look better, and still keep that "krautsomething" alive by improvising, and just doing stuff that might not sound as good as material that is a bit more focused. But she is strong in her own way, and I wish that she had been able to channel it into something more than a haphazard improvisation lasting a long time, that was ... maybe just for me ... meaningless ... otherwise, except for the fact that it was an improvisation, and one that ... probably won't matter, anyway!

Her vocals, for my ears ... were fairly well tuned to the material for a few albums, but I have a feeling that the band deciding that she was not going to be up front all the time, probably had a side effect that we see later in at least one CD of her live in performance.

But you could take one or two pieces from each album from WOLF CITY on, and make a stupendous album. And "Surrounded by the Stars" is not the only one. The biting venom of the deadly snake in "Mozambique" tells you more about her style and ability that the band was probably afraid to take on, and become some sort of metal band doing a growl like delivery by Renate! But it was effective and a couple of months later that country got its independence ... that was kind of strange, but for me, it brought the message home like so many "songs" can't even try ...

But there is something really scary here, and it is in the HIJACK album in "Da Guadeloop" when the feminist wants to march and stand up, and is laughed off! That while funny in a sense, is down right insulting and I think that Renate was shut off probably more times than we know ... but I am not sure that she gives a darn ... she continued on!

De Guadaloop is a great song. Shaft-like, papa was a rolling stone vibe is fantastic. hi-Jack is an underappreciated album. I did not put together the laughter at Renate. Good info.
