Various - Happy Birthday to You, But You Weren't Listening A beautiful present I received from José (DeadSouls) for my birthday. A self-made compilation of live recordings some of my favorite Canterbury tracks with titles modified or changed completely so I have to guess what the next band is! Definitely one of the most inventive presents I ever got in my life. Thank you so much, José! Hug
How thoughtful! I hope you guessed them all correctly Tongue

Well, not before listening, some were nearly inscrutable! LOL But I obviously recognized them all after listening.

I looked into them, since I'll probably see them, but only heard their new album. How's that one?

Alternating with some classics? How's that Captain Beyond? I only know their debut.

Lucky you! I personally love Träd, Gräs och Stenar and that whole Swedish psychedelic rock scene in general (International Harvester, Pärson Sound etc.). It's mainly collective improvisation, though there are also some songs there, too. At times, it's kind of like Grateful Dead and Amon Düül, but there is that sweet Swedish element there, suggested by gentle hints of the country's folk music. Their albums don't get very high ratings on PA, some people just don't seem to enjoy improvisation without a clear point, but I'm not one of them. Great band.

^^   Yeah, I've been dusting off some oldies lately.

I have the first three albums by Captain Beyond but haven't really dedicated much time to them.
Sufficiently Breathless is much more laid back than the debut and doesn't seem to have the same energy.
They got back to their roots a little on Dawn Explosion but neither album tops the debut.

Indeed it was a day of favourites! I was feeling a bit down so a nice long drive with good tunes was just the thing I needed. 

As per Crucis, I enjoy it every bit as much as the others. Probably a top 50 album personally, and quite popular in the prog community. I actually saw a clipping from an Argentine music magazine that showed the 1977 reader's choice poll results for local bands and Crucis absolutely swept the floor with everyone else (even Charly Garcia and Spinetta!) in just about every category. The album is mostly instrumental jams with a spacey symphonic character and some fusion vibes. Here's an excerpt from my review of it:

Originally posted by Magnum Vaeltaja Magnum Vaeltaja wrote:

Bluesy space rock jams, a vast cosmic vibe carved out with lush synths, blistering rhythmic firepower, there's really no other band out there that can so cleverly blend the dichotomies of spacey and contemplative, aggressive and exciting. Crucis really are masters of gradual build-ups; this can especially be heard on the title track and the closing "Abismo Terrenal", where quiet synth vistas give way to breakneck guitar solos, sexy in their grooviness and fiery in their intensity.

It may come across as a bit noodle-y at times, but in all it's a very fun, short album. I'd recommend it! Thumbs Up

Yesterday's albums:

Steve Vai - Flex-Able
Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's
Paul Simon - S/T
Miles Davis - In A Silent Way
Allman Brothers Band - Eat A Peach

I don't know much from the 70's, only Algarnas Tradgard, but Swedish collective improvisation reminded me of Our Solar System. I had that impression with their latest but to be honest it sounded quite uninspired. 
Don't you mean some people don't seem to enjoy improvisation without a joint? LOL

I like laidback as well, I'll have to give all three a listen.

Sold! Big smile I should listen to South American Prog more often, it's fascinating.

Terpandre - s/t

Papadosio - Pattern Integrities (Post/Math/Space/Electronic/Pop/Name your genre.)

Love Algarnas Tradgard, one of my favorite Swedish bands overall, but I have only briefly heard about Our Solar System, I just know they are stoner-esuqe. I'll check them out.

Haha, I did not mean that, but, now that I'm thinking, it might be it. LOL

I don't remember how AT sound, I should revisit them. OSS are much softer than that, they're a Psych/Kraut/Jazz collective, like a giant Embryo Tongue


Yesterday:
Träd, Gräs och Stenar - Djungelns Lag (It's a bit uneven but has plenty of great moments.)
Captain Beyond - s/t (I didn't remember how good this is.)
Crucis - Los Delirios del Mariscal (This is fantastic! Excellent instrumental and musicianship, the drummer is particularly impressive. I feel like listening to Finch again.)
Yellow Magic Orchestra - s/t
Yellow Magic Orchestra - Solid State Survivor
Klaus Schulze & Pete Namlook - Dark Side of the Moog Vol.7 (Close to the previous volume but more continuous and inspired. It's also the shortest but the progressions are more carefully planed than before. I think it's the best so far and also has the best pun, "Obscured by Klaus" Tongue)
