I can't remember if I recommended this here before, but anyway I have made an interview with the Israeli band Sympozion and it can be read here:
They are listed on PA, and they have released a good debut symphonic prog album.
You'll have all the info in this interview (plus links).
Read and discover.

Cert's album of the month for the rest of this month is Definition by Chrysalis, which carries a peculiarly May-time flavour.
It's not on the site (yet), but if Frank Zappa liked the band and subsequently employed its members then they're good enough for me. Released in 1969, it's very light and folksy to start with, but various flavours of jazz and fuzzed-out psychedlia waft their way through almost magically, until we get to the Zappa-esque Dr Root's Garden, a psychotic psychedelic romp of madness. More info (and mp3's) here and here You can get it very cheaply at Amazon, I've found... |

Any proghead interested in the DVD by Dutch progrock group Plackband? It's wonderful 24-carat symphonic rock in the vein of mid-Genesis, I would like to recommend it!

Not exactly prog, but good nonetheless:
Krokodil - An Invisible World Revealed, 1971 (CD-Reissue 1999, Second Battle), Liberty The following is taken from: http://www.geocities.com/asdfasedf2/yetanother35.html “An Invisible World Revealed” was Krokodil’s 3rd album and definitely blends more exotic instrumentation and effects than their preceding LPs. This album is a mix of psychedelic and progressive genres with some Eastern influences tossed in for good measure. One of the most unique elements here is the fine mix of harmonica and Mellotron if you could imagine. There are 2 epic like tracks on the album “Odyssey In om” and “Looking At Time” (15 Mins) which are given lots of space to progress out. This album contains all of Krokodil’s trademarks with mad song writing, completely out of this world arrangements and superb musicianship. The album carries a very original sounding quality and is one of those albums that once you get your chops into you will be deeply hooked. the re-mastered version there is an additional 30 mins of extra tracks with 2 superb jam tracks and 3 shorter but very fitting tracks. This bonus material is simply killer and makes this version of the album absolutely essential. IMHO "An Invisible World Revealed" was Krokodil's masterpiece and should be in every 70's progressive rock collection.
This album shifts from psychedelic soundscapes to more heavy rock tunes. A good and solid release, though forgotten sadly. |

Now to something different but as good:
Eroc EROC biographyEroc (Joachim Heinz Ehrig) started his solo career in 1975 while he was currently the drummer of Grobschnitt. His self titled album can be considered as a cross between Gorbschnitt’s typical symphonic amazing music and electronic/ synth music dominated by numerous original sound manipulations. Despite that he was originally recognised as a drummer, here Eroc is the man behind the machines, controlling solid essays in synth experimentations and electronic collages. His first album is an absolute must in the Kraut/ electronic genre, very abstract, emotional and a mix of different moods. This album is an opponent worthy of Klaus Schulze’s first realisations in space/ “kosmische” electronic music. His following album (“Zwei” published by “Brain” in 1976) continues to process by a combination between rock and electronic but put the stress on short, efficient sketches. Humour and derision are clearly exposed in the lyrics and recitations. “Zwei” is a reminiscence of Grobschnitt’s theatrical universe with lot of "gags" but the atmosphere is sometimes desolated, detached, sometimes deliciously melancholic. After this two first very recommended efforts, Eroc pursues his solo career notably providing a kind of reunion album ("Eroc 3") with other members of Grobschnitt. The result is a little bit annoying and the music is not as intense as in the previous efforts. In parallel Eroc’s also started a professional career as musical producer, recently published albums of Das Scheitas among others.: : : Philippe Blache, FRANCE : : : http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=1795 Albums: Eroc 1975 Zwei 1976 Eroc 3 1979 Eroc 4 1982 The album to which I am refering is the first s/t album. Eroc (Brain 1975) Album Legnth: 35:59 Recorded: Joachim Ehrigs Home Studio Genre: Electronic Rock Best Song: 'Kleine Eva' Release Info: 1074 Brain LP BRAIN 1069 Tracks: 1. Kleine Eva 12.02 2. Des Zauberers Traum 5.22 3. Toni Moff Mollo 0.48 4. Die Musik Vom "Oldberg" 1.13 5. Norderland 6.26 6. Horrorgoll 6.30 7. Sternchen 3.31 The following is taken from - http://www.krautrockgroup.com/Eroc.html Overview: Eroc's 1975 debut solo album is an amazing listen, one-half electronic, one-half in the Grobschnittian rock sound; some of the music was featured in live Grobschnitt shows circa 1974 and 1975. Eroc begins in grand cosmic fashion with the out-of-this-world 'Kleine Eva', a minimalist electronic piece in true Krautrock fashion which puts to shame similar period Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze work! This track is peaceful, stirring, enlightening and refreshing - a true gem of the genre. 'Der Zauberers Traum' is another electronic track with a twist. It features an atmospheric bed of synthesizers seamlessly shifting between chords and a delightful electronic lead which sounds very Eastern, almost like a snakecharmer. This track gives way to one of Eroc's famous German jokes which is completely lost on those of us who are not native speakers. This track features Eroc who secretly recorded a chat with Toni, a Grobschnitt-roadie; together, they talk about the time when they were in the forest at night and making fun of the fact that Toni was left by himself, alone in the dark. (Thanks to Dirk for supplying this information) Side two begins with the short track 'Die Musik Vom "Oldberg"' which bares a strong resemblance to the Grobschnitt rock sound. Following this is 'Norderland' which is a more focused track featuring guitar work which is sure to remind listeners of the great Michael Karoli from Can. Next on the play list is 'Horrorgoll', an electronic sound collage which displays strong Da Da-ist tendencies and which would not sound out of place if heard on an early-seventies Faust album. Finally, the album closes with 'Sternchen' which comes across like a natural blending of both the electronic and rock elements displayed within this album. This is definitely one of the best solo Krautrock performances and is in dire need of an official CD Reissue which coincidentally might not be too far off! I will provide more information when and if this materializes. [5/5 Doug] Musicians: Joachim Ehrig (Eroc) - Electronics, Guitar, Bass, Drums |

I love anglagard and wobbler and i've listened to Gargamel and have to say though they might be more original than Wobbler but i didn't like it half that much. Singer ,though original is not really good singer, quite annoying sometimes. Music is sometimes great sometimes ok sometimes boring. Well, it didn't do it for me. it might for you

Sensitive to Light is the project of Vynce Leff from Saens.
I am very curious to hear how it is. Erik, is it similar to Saens' music? |
