Ce livre propose la «biographie d'un lieu», Le Brady, dernier cinéma de quartier parisien. L'auteur, qui y fut projectionniste dans les années 2000, a tiré de cette expérience un texte foisonnant, drôle et informé. Il met en scène ses collègues, l'increvable propriétaire J.-P. Mocky, les fondus de films «bis» (fantastique, gore, kung-fu, western-spaghetti voire moussaka, porno), mais aussi d'autres spectateurs atypiques (sans-logis, retraités maghrébins, amateurs de brèves rencontres), et tous les riverains occasionnels (prostituées, coiffeurs afro, soiffards). …

Cat#: Epic BN 26403 | Country/Year: US 1968
Genre: Psych Folk, Folk Rock | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

US original of another lost epic LP and easily one of the rarest and the most obscure "EPIC" releases… A sort of pop/folk/rock affair with a baroque delicacy, light psych vibes in spot, nice alternate female/male vocals with outlandish lyrics, real beautiful arrangements and melodies,hovering between orchestral psychedelia, lounge and unclassifyable far-outness…this duo is backed by many of the "Blonde On Blonde" Dylan session musicians, including Bob Johnston at the helm, Charlie Daniels, Charlie McCoy, Kenneth Buttrey, Wayne Moss…

Cat#: Charisma 6369 904 | Country/Year: Germany 1970
Genre: Progressive Rock | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

The legendary Charisma label's first signing was a Rare Bird indeed, a prog rock band without a guitarist in sight. The quartet's 1970 debut eponymous album launched the label, while "Sympathy" gave it its first hit. As Your Mind Flies By soared into the shops later that year, sadly the original lineup's swan song…

Genre: Prog Rock | Hoster: Filesonic/Uploaded

As good as Dawn was, the weight of the orchestra prevented it from being truly compelling, while its story seemed a bit thin. Eloy fixed both flaws for Ocean, creating their most striking album, a true classic of progressive rock history in Germany and abroad…

German 80's rock band Ferryboat Bill is named after an early Lou Reed/Velvet Underground Song. This album sounds to me a bit like Steve Wynn / Dream Syndicate.
