Well Memowakeman, it was a very special musical experience to witness that Anekdoten gig, in the final half hour the band improvised, driven by huge Mellotron waves, incredible. The mindblowing psychedelic atmosphere reminded me of the magic early Pink Floyd years (Pompeii-era), so compelling!
I found this picture, it shows the Anekdoten studio, including the Mighty M400 Mellotron

Hello Igor, good to see you posting here and ... I can see you are one year wiser
 By the way, I still don't know what Post Rock means can you mention some 'known' Post Rock Bands?

Thanks Angelo, it was a very good year
I forgot to mention my favorite gigs this year:
1) Anekdoten - Pul in Uden (Tron Heaven
 )2) Nemo - Progfarm in Bakkeveen (superbe)
3) Hypnos 69 - Symforce in Tilburg (mindblowing Cry Baby wah-wah driven guitarwork)
Next week I hope to review the Unitopia 2-CD, pretty eclectic sound, to say the least!

Angelo, I don't remember Vara's Vuurwerk between 1985 and 1989, I am only familiar with De Beton Top 3 where I first heard the stunning sound of early Angel (indeed: Mirror, how exciting

Close to embryonal memories Angelo
! But seriously, that cassette tape era was great, I remember that in the early Seventies (I am from 1960) I taped all the interesting songs from the weekly Top 40 on the Dutch radio after I had purchased the weekly Veronica Top 40 list at my favorite record store. Later I started to listen to the pirate radio stations like Veronica, Radio Northsea International, Radio Caroline and Radio Luxembourg, that's the way I discovered bands like Queen, Roxy Music, Status Quo, Uriah Heep and Deep Purple

Hmm..... I had a cassette player and a portable record player (you know, the kind with two speakers that you can click together to create a cover for the player) around 1987, and that's also around the time I first heard Angelo.  |

I've heard of them, but I don't think I've heard their music.

Angelo, are you that old
 ?!AmericanProgster, thanks for your USA progrock bands recommendations Light and StormThunder
Do you know this USA progrock bands (it's my PA review from a long time ago)?ATLANTIS PHILHARMONIC - Same
- I have just added this fine USA gem to the Prog Archives site, I’m looking forward to other reviews! And keep in mind that this was a duo playing all the instruments!
- 1. Atlantis (5.15) : This is a bombastic and dynamic piece featuring raw electric guitar, pleasant vocals and great Hammond organ work, from powerful to swirling. In the end there is a fat synthesizer sound, blended with fiery electric guitar and finally wonderful violin-Mellotron. - 2. Woodsman (7.36) : First beautiful piano play, very tender and then more and more sparkling. Soon soft violin-Mellotron waves enter and the piano play builds up very exciting, culminating in an eruption with majestic violin-Mellotron in the vein of early King Crimson or Museo Rosenbach, GOOSE BUMPS! - 3. Death man (5.27) : On this song te focus is on propulsive interplay between a fiery electric guitar and powerful drums, at some moments accompanied by Hammond organ runs and strong vocals. - 4. Fly-the-night (4.36) : A catchy rhythm with Hammond organ - and harpsichord work, pleasant but a bit simple. - 5. My friend (3.59) : A warm track featuring beautiful piano – and Mellotron play. - 6. Atlas (8.15) : The final composition is build around fiery electric guitar and propulsive drum beats, it sounds exciting and has a dated, typical late Sixties/early Seventies sound. To me this is more than OK! A FINE PROGROCK ALBUM FOR THE VINTAGE KEYBOARD AFICIONADOS! Edited by erik neuteboom - December 30 2008 at 14:37 |

What the hell is a cassette!
 Just kidding, all my Angel albums are on vinyl. Too tedious at times to find all their albums on CD.Here's another band for you all. GoodThunder formed in the early 70s in Los Angeles. They played a heavy kind of pysch prog. They only released one album in 1972 before all their members joined AOR bands. This is a highly recommended album, so find yourself a copy and enjoy. You can find it both on vinyl and CD, although the vinyl is easier and cheaper to get.  |

Tower.... no need to say another word, except maybe Giuffria
It's been a few aeons since I last heard that album, I'll have to look it up somewhere. Last time I played it was in the audio cassette era. |

I would like to include a band called Light who were from Indiana, USA. They formed in the late 70s or early 80s and only released one album in 1981 called "Keys." They played what some people might call soft prog/pop prog or combination of the two. Their one and only album has beautiful music and I think is worthy of a few listens. So if you can find this album then go for it. Besides if you don't like the music you can always hang the album cover on your wall, just look at the amazing artwork!

Hey Erik, I'm glad to meet another fan of Angel. What a great band they were and are! Their first two albums "Angel" - 1975 and HelluvaBand - 1976 are great hard rock meets a whole lot of symphonic albums! I've never been able to say which is my favorite though, would've been easier if they released both as a double album!
But definitely their most progressive songs would be "The Tower", "Mariner", and the epic "The Fortune" (which opens with a 4 minute moog and mellotron intro). On these first two albums Angel's lyrical content at times reminds of some of the greatest (Yes, Genesis, Captain Beyond). For Angel's third release, On Earth as it is in Heaven, they started to go commercial but that doesn't mean they didn't throw some prog in there! I recommend Can You Feel It, "You're Not Fooling Me," "That Magic Touch" (a nice little pop prog song, catchy as hell), and for those of you who never had the oppurtunity to listen to anything outside their first two albums then you will really enjoy "Cast the First Stone" and "Just a Dream" which are among Angel's most progressive titles. Thanks for listening! |

Well Slartibartfast, in most of my other threads I was often accused of "plundering
the wallets" because of my many recommendations so you better ignore this thread
! By the way, you do have a stuffed collection
