I tend to rip my vinyls to mp3s, though... I couldn't bear it if I ruined the condition of a record I bought mint

That's horrible to convert (more exactly, to ruin)
the best format into the worst...

Oliver - I dont think DB should smell the flowers he should to smoke them

 

Petra start with Live (Kraan's 5th album - EMI Germany have remastered it in lasted 4 years) - which DB has omitted, but IMHO I feel is superior to the Kraan studio albums listed. Long work outs of tunes from earlier albums and  their 6th (Helmut Hattler's bass is resounding throughout) - I recently  added to my Kraan collection and now have the first 7 albums.

In passing DB has listed an excellent collection of Kraan and Canterbury  albums, all worth seeking out and listening to.

Yes, he should smoke more weed!

he would spend more time to listen to music and less time on writing lists!

but anyway, we love you like that, Bryan!

Love from planet Gong!

ever listen to Andy Nogger or Wiederhoren?

an american genre called San Francisco that went

rock!
If you listen to progressive fusion outside these
overrated english beatniks youll find they didnt
exactly set the world on fire, maybe their backyard!


Yes, USpsyche is a great genre,which i'm found off by the way, but there's no compete with Canterbury school as it's simply not the same thing, not the same time, space, context...

Bryan...
Life is short
Don't waste your precious time doing silly record lists!
Go outside! smell the flowers in blossom!

Those 4 Canterbury masterpieces equalled by some obscure German band that had its moments but hardly worth writing home about. You must have something against the Kent region!!


Heard of Out Of Focus?



Yes, our friend Dallasbryan already told that caravan classics make nice freesbies and at the same time,he considered Alan Parsons project first albums as essentials...
Hum...without comment!

Bryan i know it's all personal preference but i'm having a hard time here understanding why you placed Caravans 'Pink' album in 8th position!

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
