Tyrannosaurus Sex - Must Have Been Painful (1968 Fly /2008 Vinyl Lovers)

Have given some spins to this and every time the flight has been as short as chicken's with no head. The whole album sounds to me there is only one long irritating track of nonsense and painful singing. The only good thing with this is that i paid only 10 euros for this reprocopy.

Widsith - Maker Of Song (1972 Alithia)

Great music! An exceptional album. "Astral Weeks" -like feeling. And "Maker Of The Song" sounds like Sixto  Rodriguez. Can't help listening it again and again.

Buskers - S/T (1970 RCA)

Why? The Answer: this music is made for fading it away by walking by and giving a coin somewhere in the middle. Cover art: Hippnoossis.

Oliver Walrus - Walrus (1972 Janus)

"Everyone deserves a fat chance". Someone who wants to advertise his music by/with/through the cover art like this  deserves to come noticed. This cover beats all those artsy Hipgnosis ones. And the music... totally comparable to the cover. It is great this was done!

RDTEN (RYM): So here's a career synopsis in Walrus' own words:   

"My career began in the 70's with my band Oliver Walrus ... We played the circuits of Los Angeles including the infamous Troubadour and the Whiskey. I was discovered and signed with Chess Janus Records who had known artist(s) like Bo Didley, Chuck Berry and Jimmy Hendrix among others.  I recorded my first album in 1972.  My song 'Climb, Climb, Climb' was my first top 10 record on the billboard charts [no idea what that means].  My main music background consists of heavy funk that I fused with rock and pop.  I am proud to say that I have a huge fan base still building." 

By the time Walrus and company went into the studio to record 1972's cleverly titled "Walrus", the band showcased the talents of percussionist Warren Bryant, keyboard player  Mark Fiedler, guitarist Robert Franklin, bassist  Michael Herring, and drummer Warren "Bugs" Pemberton.  Produced by Robert Adcock (Joseph Long credited as executive producer), the album typically gets labeled as a slice of horn rock which undoubtedly turns off a big chunk of the potential audience.  True, tracks like 'Let Me Save You' and 'Freedom' featured some horn arrangements, but with the exception of 'You Can't Shine', this wasn't anything like a BS&T, or Chicago album.  Namesake Walrus had an interesting, if not particularly commercial voice - imagine a gruffer version of Meatloaf and you'll be in the right aural neighborhood.  As a band these guys were actually quite tight, though producer Adcock's penchant for adding shrill female backing singers to virtually every track didn't help the proceedings. 

Caravan - For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night (1973 London)

If this is so called Canterbury style i have to confess i don't know what "Canterbury" really means. Why would this music be so brilliant as they tend to say? can't find the real point of this if there were any. Occasionally nice but on the whole quite standard straight foward proggish rock stuff. This is good:

Judy Henske & Jerry Yester - Farewell Aldebaran (1969 Straight this re Klimt)

I listened to this first when watching TV at the same time and did not get it at all. One track on which Judy Henske's vocals was awful, i thought i would give the whole album away to my friend Jukka, who knows almost everything about this kind music things. I phoned him and he said he's got this album and it's not so  bad at all as i was hearing.  When someone you value as a wise man on any field tells you you are wrong you change your thinking. No, i'm not a victim of manipulation. This album may be the kind you don't assimilate immediately. (i by the way read this album was first recorder on Frank Zappa's label.) Now that may be real plasebo, i don't think FZ would have made any big error with them...

Pilot - S/T (1972 RCA)

I picked this album as curiosity and for the background of some members of the band. I knew Leigh Stephens at least as a member of Blue Cheer and of his two solo albums Red Weather and Cast of a Thousand. Drummer Mick Weller has played with many big names - if it means anything. One can play with big ones but can he also make something on his own, that isn't any brained. Mick has made music for Rod Stewart's Maggie May. Isn't that something. All tracks are by Bruce Leigh. Brother of Stephen's? Pilot is a good band It's music is both boogie (which kind of music i usually avoid) and more progressive, a sort of extended boogie style. The other side of the album is all over four minutes lasting tracks and that is usually a good clue for myself picking a record without further knowledge of it and in this case everything went ok.

Sammal - S/T (2013 Svart Records)

Brand new Finnish Hammond dominated metal-folk-pop-riff-prog. Very worth investigating.

Turustako tämä uusproge Suomessa itää? Hienoa! Hyvän levyn ootte tehneet. Soundit tekevät paljon ja tuo video on sopivan yleisnostalginen. Kiinnostaisi tietää, jos eksytte tälle sivulle, kenen sävellys on Jäniksen Vuoksi. Onko sekoitus lainattua trad. sieltä täältä.. vai? Englantilaista meriroslolaulua ja suomalaista patakakkosta...

Samla Mammas Manna - S/T

This album really starts not until track nine "at-one-ment" and is very pleasant, authentic and jammy since that. I like this one better than "knapitatet".
