Demilich, I invite you in

[Krilons Resa]

I didn't want to derail my "albums that changed your life" thread so I'll start this one. I've noticed your affinity for the prog/acid folk genre.

Are you familiar with the following:

The Pentangle
Strawbs
Madden & Harris

...and more recently, Espers?


I know you are familiar with Jan Dukes De Grey.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

I like Strawbs. They're pretty cool.

 

[Demilich]

Yeah, I can't get into Pentangle very much for some reason, though they were a huge influence on Comus and the Incredible String Band (Robin from the ISB even lived wth John Renbourn for a while)

Strawbs and the other one, haven't got around with.

In other news:
I've downloaded Gentle Giant s/t, both Wobbler albums and Anglagard's Hybris and am loving them all so far!

Espers, I've heard samples and liked them a lot but never did get a full album.

Jan Dukes De Grey, yeah, Mice and Rats in the Loft is classic (yet inconsistent), though their first album, Sorcerers is nice too, more of a Tyrannosaurus Rex kinda deal.

Oh boy!!!, you are opening up a HUGE can of worms now.

The Pentangle - Basket of Light is a fantastic album..not sure if you heard that one.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Also, the s/t GG album, while still great, is totally different from their other releases...just an fyi.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Here's some Strawbs for you fuckers.

I definitely should have bought the vinyl copy of Acquiring the Taste that I saw somewhere recently right?


about The Pentangle, yeah Basket of Light is the album I have. Good music, but for some reason I just never want to listen to it.

I'm completely gay for "Sun Symphonica" but I think I remember making you listen to it a few years ago and you saying it sucked

 

[Krilons Resa]

NOt sure if I said it sucked...but if I did, I take it back.

Matt...yes, you should have.

 

[Demilich]

You know, I'd already heard Sun Symphonica probably fifty times when I finally picked up a copy of the album, and the rest of it just doesn't come close... a damn shame. The other songs have their charm, I guess, but damn near nothing in my collection is as staggering as that first track!

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Completely agree, though the title track has its moments. 8/10 overall, I'd say, with "Sun Symphonica" getting 11/10

 

[Ellestin]

I like this thread, just sayin. keep it alive.

[Demilich]

Like this! Not the best, but a quality album:

Interesting that you post this, i just heard this dude earlier in the week. 'i pick notes from the sky' is a great track

 

[Krilons Resa]

Well, since you faggots like The Incredible String Band, do you like Fresh Maggots ?

never heard yet, will check. Strawbs did not leave that much of an impression, lacks the sparkle of either beauty/dream/frenzy that my favourite bands in the genre possess (i.e. Fairport Convention, Dulcimer, Bread Love & Dreams etc.)

 

[Reign in Acai]

Strawbs = Shit

Locanda delle Fate = Awesome pinkage. I recommended these bastids two years ago, not surprisingly I didn't receive a single comment.




Ken, why have you never name dropped Lucifer's Friend?!? Contemporaries to Zeppelin, they kick major arse magma.

Another one that just doesn't do it for me

 

[Krilons Resa]

Just listen to GG.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Matt/Bertrand ... Steeleye Span - Below The Salt

or how about AIR - S/T (japan 1977) ?
