Spirogyra are a British folk/prog band that recorded three albums between 1971 and 1973. With occasional use of unusual rhythms, intriguing blends of styles, innovative arrangements, and lyrics to ponder, St. Radigunds had it all, and quickly established Spirogyra as one of the most creative and innovative groups of the day.

Galliard - New Dawn (1970) 24-bit/96kHz Vinyl Rip Vinyl & HR

Posted by son-of-albion at Feb. 18, 2012

Galliard were in on the ground floor of the British progressive rock movement, releasing their debut album, Strange Pleasure, in 1969 and mixing jazz, rock, folk, and psychedelic influences. The following year, New Dawn pretty much picked up where its predecessor left off, with one key exception: a whole brace of additional horn players had been brought in to augment the sound. The striking thing is just how good Galliard were at all of the varied styles they attempt on New Dawn, but sadly, it was to be their last album.

T. Rex - The Best Of T. Rex (1998) Music

Posted by popsakov at June 10, 2024

Originally released back in the very first flash of T.Rexstacy, in an age (hard to imagine now) when the shelves did not overflow with Bolanic compilations, the irresistibly budget-priced Fly Back: Best of Marc Bolan & T. Rex was many newfound fans' first exposure to the music Marc Bolan was making before he hit fame – and what a shock it was. Drawing from all four Tyrannosaurus Rex albums released between 1968-1969, plus a couple of unissued outtakes and single-only sides, Fly Back remains one of the most inspired, and illustrative, of all the collections out there.

Ry Cooder - I, Flathead: The Songs of Kash Buk and the Klowns (2008) Music

Posted by Designol at Oct. 12, 2025

Ry Cooder's I, Flathead is the culmination of his ambitious and fascinating "California Trilogy," the last of three albums in which the singer and guitarist journeys through the real and imagined history of mid-20th century, multi-ethnic California, sampling the sounds of its barrios and byways, its nightclubs and honkytonks. The CD functions beautifully on its own, but also serves as a sort of soundtrack to the book equivalent. Abetting Cooder in his story telling is a veritable repertory of players who've appeared in the previous discs in the trilogy, among them drummer Joachim Cooder, Jim Keltner, Flaco Jimenez, Jon Hassell, Juliette Commagere and Gil Bernal.

Progressive Rock | EAC APE+CUE+LOG (320 MB) | EAC LAME CBR320 MP3+LOG (124 MB) | covers | Total time: 50:13

One of the best italian bands from the new generation. Traditional italian symphonic prog with folkish elements, clearly influencied by earlier italian bands like QUELLA VECCHIA LOCANDA. This could be the best reference to apply due to the exceptional violin work found on both bands. Recommended to all of those who love italian prog music.

The Incredible String Band - Changing Horses (Elektra 1969) 24-bit/96kHz Vinyl Rip Vinyl & HR

Posted by son-of-albion at Sept. 2, 2011

Changing Horses has an appealing looseness and sense of fun which nicely balances the often over-serious nature of the band's always strange mix of English folk and psychedelia.

On his third album, songwriter Ryan Bingham reveals both confidence and growth. His previous recordings showed promise but were marred by youthful excesses. Bingham won an Oscar for "The Weary Kind," the theme song from the film Crazy Heart. The song was produced by T-Bone Burnett, creating a partnership extended on Junky Star. Bingham and his Dead Horses – drummer Matthew Smith, bassist Elijah Ford, and guitarist Corby Schaub – create a sound planted deeply in folk, country, blues, and roots rock…
