Get ready for this ultra rare killer of a jazz/fusion album i just found it today and i only listen the first two tracks and already decide to put it on this blog!
"eugino d", is the track that bought this "New Zealand" jazz/fusion/funk band to my attention.
Despite being NZ jazz album of the year, this LP is very hard to come by, it is a very impressive listen throughout,and features some very accomplished NZ musicians.
This is Jazzy fusion there is no heavy guitars to be found on the last track the musicians realy are crazy with a great Progressive rhythmic sound!
Frank Gibson Jr - Drums/percussion
Kim Patterson - Trumpet/Conga
Martin Winch - Guitar
John Banks - Percussion
Bob Jackson - Bass
Murray Mcnabb - Rhodes/Synthesiser/Steel drums
Tracklist:
01 - The Twilight Zone (1:39)
02 - Vulcan Words (6:49)
03 - Transition (8:07)
04 - Eugenio D (6:10)
05 - Arffirmation (7:33)
06 - One For Dianne (6:27)
Track 2 ends sharply i am not sure if this is correct but youll be lucky to find this album anywhere enjoy! :)
"Eugino D" can also be found on an elusive 7"(promo) 45 release,and also features on the compilation "Respect Overdue vol 2" on (creative vibes label).

Of course, Chango's first LP is a rip-off of Santana's 1970s sound, and if you want to dismiss it on the count of lack of originality, go ahead. What should not be overlooked though is the fact that the group played some very hot salsa jazz-rock. They did not do it better, but they sure did it well.
Although not Carlos Santana, George Tacktikos studied the guitarist's playing closely and performs a few strong solos, especially on "Caminando" and "Chango." Thomas Alletto plays a mean organ, and singer Pepe Gomez matches any Santana singer. This first LP blends the raw energy of Abraxas and the subtleties of Caravanserail (maybe with something of Chicago's early pop sensibilities too), while delivering a more poppy and energy-driven charge than what Santana used to do. Side one contains the fiery "Walk on Hell" and "Caminando," truly the group's finest moment.
The five songs on side two segue, alternating fast-paced numbers and slow instrumentals in true Santana fashion. "Solid Karma" stands out. This album was clearly well-produced and thought over, the song order being just right. One could do without the love-making sighs at the end of the last track.
The god Chango, explain the liner notes, is "the representative of unbridled sexuality" -- the relentless rhythms of the previous 40 minutes were proof enough. Recommended to fans of early Santana who don't mind plagiarism. ~ François Couture, All Music Guide

Ok i hear you screaming for more prog jazz 
On the next album Mortensen was replaced by Frank Lauridsen (playing also harmonica). This work is less refined than previous ones. First track Can You Hear the Music Play flows into pop-rock but later is much better. Hesselmann plays sax more like Karsten Vogel. It interplays well with sharp sound of Frost’s guitar (A La Turca). There are also more subtle moments like Winds Gonna Blow. It is surely difficult to find comparison to first self-titled album but Walikng Circles is worth listening. The group recorded one more record Midnight Dream that is one step towards easier rock with pop tendencies. For me the best track is Batum that bases on traditional song.
Stockholm Symphonie is an extremely rare, very limited, Japanese pressing that is almost impossible to find. It is a brilliant live radio show from between their first two albums, with most of the songs coming from their debut. Kaipa come across more effectively live (the bonus track on Inget Nytt Under Solen also is a good example of this) with a more insistent and intense delivery with greater room given to Stolt's excellent guitar work. Being that this may be impossible to find, it would be best to go for one of the first two, but believe me, Kaipa were a super live band and this is my favorite album.
Roine Stolt (born on September 5, 1956 in Uppsala) is a Swedish guitarist, vocalist and composer, started his career in the late 1960s playing bass guitar in local rock bands. In 1974 he became the guitarist in Kaipa, a professional progressive rock band. In 1979 he left Kaipa to form his own group Fantasia and made two albums. The group split up in 1983 and Roine started working as a solo and session musician.
In August 1994 he released the CD The Flower King. The album was successful enough that Stolt founded the band The Flower Kings, which has been his main project since then. He was also part of the progressive rock supergroup Transatlantic, and the new supergroup The Tangent (which he left in 2005).

One of the most innovative bands on YU rock scene was Drugi Nacin (pronounced "Droogee Nacheen" and meaning "Other Way"), a band from Zagreb which had started their career in earyl to mid 70's after issuing a number of singles 1973-75. Their first album was a great breakthrough for the prog movement. Before them, the only other prog act was Korni Grupa, who however weren't a pure prog band and therefore this album can be considered the first true progressive rock album in Yugoslavia.
One wouldn't guess that at once however, as the first song "Opet(Again)" is opened with a crunchy rock riff and is really more of a rock song. Then comes "Carstvo samoce" which has a good and long guitar passage in the middle and the end. The highlight of the album is unquestionably "Na mom dlanu (On my palm)", a moody 9-minute gem. It deserves to be called psychedelic and somewhat reminds me of Vanilla Fudge. "Lile su kise" is an interesting song by Ismet Kurtovic, the chief composer, guitarist, flutist and singer.
It encompasses everything from folk-rock to rhythm & blues and finishes with a quasi-baroque organ solo after 4 minutes. The instrumental "Zuti list(Yellow leaf" offers a nice jam, if a bit too long and monotonous, before the song "Stari grad (Old town)", another aching love ballad, closes the album.For it's time and place, this was truly a daring experiment. Unfortunately, it wasn't received very well and was soon forgotten at a time when mainstream rock acts like Bijelo Dugme, Indexi and Yu Grupa ruled the charts. Drugi Nacin would reunite in '82 to produce another album, "Ponovo na putu (On the road again)", which however was just a shadow of their incredible debut.

This album is the outstanding #2 follow-up by a less well-known but outstanding group, Gypsy. The band, from Minneapolis MN with a following in St. Louis area, was centered around an outstanding singer/guitarist/song-writer, Enrico Rosenbaum, guitarist/vocalist James Johnson, and keyboard/vocalist/composer James (Owl) Walsh.
This trio went to LA in 1970 to stake out their musical fortunes and created beautiful melodies and vocal harmonies, and could really rock. Rosenbaum's vocals are reminiscent of Burton Cummings (The Guess Who), and the group harmonies like CSNY.
This album has more vocal solos and instrumental solos, and less soaring harmonies than their double-album debut, called Gypsy. But the songs themselves are all outstanding. Around You (5:27) - fast paced, guitar and organ As Far as you can see (12:07) .. extended jamming, tempo changes, dual-guitar soloing, great vocals Here (in the Garden) part one (6:43)..slow paced, acoustic, great vocals, goes into a drum solo Here (in the Garden) part two (3:07) has the signature soaring Gypsy vocal harmonies Blind Man (3:59) A real hidden gem. beautiful mid-tempo vocal, acoustic guitar, solo electric guitar and organ, a great chorus, "Still I'm fooling myself believing I really don't know if I need you" Time will make it better (2:53) Solo piano and vocal by James Walsh, a lovely tune.
All songs were written by Enrico Rosenbaum, except the last by James Walsh. The group released two other albums, Antithesis (1972) and Unlock the Gates (1973) but the first two (Gypsy and In the Garden) are clearly the strongest overall. Rosenbaum died later in the 70's.
Not Jazzy or heavy but certainly good stuff!!

Kebnekajse (as they currently spell it) culled their name from Sweden's highest mountain peak, some 2014 m above ocean level, but slightly dwindling because the glacier on the top is melting away due to the global warming. Kebnekajse is still playing. "Resa Mot Okänt Mål" (Voyage Into The Unknown - something...) was their debut album and always regarded their best. Mainly instrumental, but still describing and imaginative.
Deep frozen northern swedish tundra rock.
Heavy guitars, strange vocals and a rhythm section rolling along like a runaway train. Despite its common obscurity, surely among the ten most important albums to come out of Sweden during the last 40 years. A Swedish classic and a hardrock classic of it's day.
The albums realy fun to listen to and some moments are very funny and amusing.

This is a compilation of their best and most progressive works in their golden years 1971- 1974. Korni grupa (aka Kornelyans) were one of the first progressive rock groups in former Yugoslavia. The mastermind of the band was Kornelije Kovac who was playing keybords and composing the music. First 3 songs are mostly epic jazz-rock (the longest is 17 minutes) and Hendrix inspired blues-rock tracks with shifting moods and some room for improvisation. Analog synth is used only sparingly and symphonic composition serves only as a short transition between longer parts.
Next songs are more symphonic while still retaining the jazz and blues feel. "Etida" is a classical inspired symphonic rock track from start to finish. Other symphonic progressive rock tracks are "Not An Ordinary Life" and "My Generation" which was qualified for Eurosong Contest. The song was too ambitious for Eurovision thus it wasn't placed high... The group must have been a convincing live act as we can hear from the extended live version of "Jedna zena". This song also features vocalist Dado Topic (Time) and shows the band in its top form. Last track "Moj bol" is in the style of first 3 songs. If you want to explore Korni grupa this compilation is the best place to start!

Yonin Bayashi is a legendary Japanese rock group which was popular in the 1970's.
They made their debut record Isshoku Sokuhatsu in 1974 when they were all at the age of 20.
Their virtuoso performance and experiment in studio were very exceptional and impressive at the dawn of Japanese rock business.
In the beggining, the band was lead by singer-guitarist Katsutoshi Morizono and Drummer Daiji Okai. The sound was like a mixture of Pink Floyd, Yes, Deep Purple or Frank Zappa with Hendrixed guitar and Procol Harum-like drumming. After the first guitarist and bassist left, the band was fronted by teccnical hard rock guitarist Mitsuru Sato. 2nd bassist Masahide Sakuma brought feelings of Talking Heads or King Crimson in the 80's.
People often compare a prog band to pink floyd this is one time where i can see that too ..one of the songs is outstanding altho i do admit i have not heard this much yet.

While were on the spanish stuff i thought hmm how about another obscure one this one is definetly like santana but Tony Jasper writes in his "Hardrock and Metal Encyclopedia" the Rock tracks are excellent.
I´ve never heard such an understatement. The song "Meeting of the gods" is really a 100% killer in every sense. The perfect voice, the guitars screams and the singer agrees with his shrieks as he´s getting murdered.
The other stand-out track is "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". The same sort, simply unbeatable. If you love old Santana, only harder with a voice, you´ve never heard before, don´t hesitate. You regret it.
The musicians are excellent, and the songs are first rate.

The Swedish Band Kvartetten Som Sprängde which means The Quartet that blew up ( as with dynamite)" were from the beginning a quartet which explains the name.
The name is also a the title of a book by the swedish author Birger Sjöberg released in 1924.
The members were Rune Carlsson on the drums , Fred Hellman on the keyboards (Hammond) and Finn Sjöberg on guitar and flutes.
Kattvals "Catwaltz" was released on the GUMP label and the members of the band plays a very impressive form of psychedelic jazzrock a bit like Sound Express and Hansson & Karlsson.
So it seems there was no bass player and so i am very impressed with "Fred Hellman's" playing as he is playing the bass notes himself on the keyboard! wow
There are also obvious similarities with Fläsket Brinner ( The Pork is burning ) as their sound werev around 1970 and also Santanas first album ( also with a wild cat on the cover)
There are some slight influances of folk here too and the whole album is nice from start to finish Very Atmospheric! and often Mellow which gives the album it's own feel.
If you like Santana cool if you dont no problem thats just a comparison and you wont be bombarded with Bongo's they are only present on two tracks and Fans of good ole Hammond organ playing ought to enjoy it.
The group also played on Bernt Stafs album Valhall, which also is a marvelous album; however not in the same style as Kattvals. Finn Sjöberg also recorded a jazzy soloalbum named Finn (1978)

Legendary Danish band that recorded one album before changing their name to Midnight Sun. Rainbow Band was an early Danish supergroup featuring members of Maxwells, Beefeaters and Young Flowers. The music has jazzy overtones with flute and sax that sounds a bit like Traffic. The killer is guitarist Peer Frost who rips off some great solos. Apparently after the album was released the band was signed worldwide to MCA records and was forced to change their name. They re-recorded most of the album with a new singer. Some of you may know the album because of it's great Roger Dean Cover.
Their first LP with their new name was weirdly enough just a re-recorded version of their first record as Rainbow Band! Anyway, "Midnight Sun" is a really good album, melting jazz, blues and energetic rock into a '70s sound. It's quite obvious with such influences that the band had listened a lot to bands like Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears, but didn't end up sounding like them at all. "Talkin'" is a superb opener to the album, fusing the bluesy vocals of Alan Mortensen with an irresistible rhythmic theme dominated by Niels Brønstedt's el-piano and Bent Hesselman's jazzy sax-riffs. The hard rocking and jam-oriented instrumental section turns the spotlight over to Peer Frost's razor-sharp guitar. "King of the Sun" has a pretty similar structure, but with a much lighter feel where the outstanding and tight solo-parts are what really save the track. The ballad "Nobody" is based around some eerie piano-chords, but increases the tempo during the instrumental passage where the piano veers into some classical influences too. "Where You Going to be" is in a more straightforward rock-fashion, but with a great mid-tempo groove and a jazzy sax-solo. "B.M." is a short instrumental written by bassist Bo Stief, and is mostly a showcase for his skills on acoustic bass. "Sippin' Wine" is the band from their lightest and least interesting side, with some clear influences from Blood, Sweat & Tears. The complex, intense and energetic 15-minute "Living on the Hill" is on the contrary the highlight of the record. It should also be mentioned that the band had a very good and thoroughly active drummer in Carsten Smedegaard. Guitarist Frost also surprises a bit here by turning into a classical-influenced heavy metal-styled guitar-solo in the middle of the song, followed by some even more aggressive jamming. The album closes in a far more peaceful way with Hesselman's instrumental "Rainbow Song" where he plays a beautiful theme on flute while some Mellotron turns it into the only slight symphonic moment on the record. This is definitively one of the Danish '70s rock albums you should check out.

Both albums are here together becuse they are both Essentialy the same band with a diiferent singer as they re-recorded the first album ..i would say both albums are just as good ..altho the second is more my style but the fact they are both different makes it more interesting.

This is a great album. As good if not better than Led Zeppelin, close to as good as Roy Harper, as good as Kaleidoscope. It has an amazing pace, changing musical parts as well as production styles mid-song, the jams are excellent, the vocals are excellent, and it maintains a mood that is both exciting and pleasant. Get it.

Cressida's Asylum is a wonderful example of early British symphonic progressive rock. This 1971 release mixes catchy Paul McCartney-esque vocals with adventurously colorful instrumental passages. The new listener will probably notice singer Angus Cullen, whose voice comes close to McCartney's(not totally, but close). His vocal melodies are some of the finest I've heard in 70s English prog, and the subtle British storytelling style in the lyrics is amusing to listen to. The instrumental sections are equally good, and tend to be typical of early 70s prog rock. A fair amount of the music is driven by Hammond organ(dirty, and mellow), piano, bass, guitar, and drums; a small orchestral band also adds violins, and other orchestral instruments(cellos, trumpets, timpanis, etc) to the arrangements. Most of the first side of the LP seems to deal with the title of the album, "Asylum", and ends with a short filler track. That filler track features one of weirdest topics for a rock songs that I've heard. The second side of the LP features a couple more short filler tracks, and a high-quality epic. One of the short tracks, on Side B, turns a bit cheesy when the singer starts to yell "Survivor!!!!", in a 70s broadway sort of way, but after those few scary seconds the band returns to their classic sound. Overall, Asylum is a classic.

what we have here is a brilliant slab of rock and Hammond driven blues topped off by the brilliant vocalist, Barrie McAskill, the only constant in the group's ever changing lineup. In trying to describe his vocal style, think of Chris Farlowe, circa Colosseum.
Many such bands of this era fell victim to making an album of 10 variations of the one tune, toppedwith some drivel, known as filler, all rather wearing on the listener. No such problem here. All members of the and are excellent musicians, having honed their skills on the then thriving pub circuit.
Before this album was made the band had moved to Australia's biggest city, Sydney and had performed constantly at the notorious Whisky A Go Go club.
Its fair to say that live, Levi Smith's Clefs were awesome and not surprisingly, had a very strong live following. This observation, however, maybe affected by the years and my love of the band! (another disclaimer).
After opening with a truly excellent instrumental, the band gets into full swing with the original "Shotgun" before getting to the album's centrepiece, a rather surprising version of the Beatles "You Can Do That". I can assure you that at over 11 minutes, the Lennon McCartney tune is only recognizable at the beginning and end, when McAskill adds his raspy vocals, the middle is full of great solos and invention, no dull bits. Stunning.
More stabs at blues-rock follow before the album concludes with the rather jazzy, instrumental title track.

Super Fusion From Sweden!
This was one of the few swedish LP's I had heard of before I jumped on the plane. Although I just stated that I had 'heard of it', I can't claim to have actually ever heard it... So it was a blessing when I was able to get a quick listen to the (double) album before buying it. Been home a week now, so how can I describe the album to you?
Well, it's a mixture of instrumental jazz fusion (the opening "Bouillabaise" and later "Frygisk Samba" being as fine a couple of examples of lazy, funky fusion jams you could ever wish for - excellent...), with a dash of funky prog-rock ("Wallenburg") thrown in for good measure. Add to this the crazy, remarkable third side of the album, a 25-minute live opus entitled "Concerto Grosso For Popgrupp Och Symphoniorkester" during the course of which you get a head full of mellow jazz madness twinned with quiet orchestral interludes and some beaty, organ-driven head-nodding moments. This composition gives most of the tracks on the Peddlers "Suite London" album a right royal run for their money and is twice as creative at the same time. Seriously recommended!
The best way to describe this is progressive fusion rock. An all instrumental affair with songs in the 7 minute range played with the highest energy I�ve ever seen. These guys never let up: soloing after soloing, each time with a different instrument taking the stage. There is violin, flute, guitar, keys and the usual bass guitar and drums. It�s instrumental progressive rock, but it does not sound like Camel, it�s fusion, but it�s not like Mahavishnu or Return to Forever. It�s aggressive (in a good way) with constant time changes and high, high energy. It doesn�t take too long for these guys to get in high gear: as soon as the needle hits the wax, they are up and running and with maximum speed(taken from gnosis)

DARK SUN are a psychedelic band from Finland, who are greatly influenced by HAWKWIND.So no surprise as to their instrumental sound,but the vocals weren't what i expected.They really reminded me of some of the singers from eighties pop bands,and a lot of the time it's like he's yelling the lyrics. "Tiny the Man" has a spacey into(surprise!) for almost 2 minutes,when guitar,drums and vocals come in,changing the melody completely.Lots of spacey synths, and the guitar sounds good."Feed your Mind" sounds like he's yelling the vocals,good song though.His singing here reminds me of the singer for CHALK CIRCLE."Black Spires" opens with a guitar melody,as drums and vocals come in.The guitar is great,as are the bass lines."Our Man Inside" has such a full sound.The guitar solos late in the song are terrific."Astral Magic" has a catchy guitar melody that builds.HAWKWIND lives through this song."Phantastica" opens with water flowing,and vocals that echo.This is a cool but short song."Abduction Files" opens with lots of spacey synths and slow playing guitar that lasts for almost 3 minutes then it speeds up.Some spoken words later as well as some great guitar."The Next Step" opens with synths firing off,as the sound of a countdown for a launch is heard.Later in the song is a synth,guitar melody that reminds me a lot of PINK FLOYD. So overall i like it,just not too fond of the vocals.It's worth checking out if your a space- rock fan.
