Hedvig Mollestad Trio – Ding Dong. You’re Dead. New one from jazzy hard rock threesome. It is, of course, wonderful…
La Morte Viene Dallo Spazio – Trivial Visions. Occult space rock from Italy, not bad: https://lamortevienedallospazio.bandcamp.com/album/trivial-visions
Thalassing – s/t. Clay Pipe 10th anniversary reissue of pleasant, ambient-ish soundtracky album: https://iamplinth.bandcamp.com/album/thalassing
Guapo – Live at RIO 2009. Track is called ‘8 Domine’, never properly recorded. Some very fine organ action in it. I was pretty obsessed with this Zeuhl/heavy prog band – thanks originally to an HH post – around the time of this recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGysmlMLoRI&feature=youtu.be
Nik Turner’s Sphynx – Xitintoday. Hmm, I was possibly a *little* harsh on this album in my book – it’s bonkers, but entertainingly so. About to be reissued: https://nikturnermusic.bandcamp.com/album/sphynx-xitintoday
Eloy – Dawn. To say this came the year before Ocean – another wonderfully bonkers LP from the latter half of the 70s – this is rather tame/bland.
Yes – In The Beginning. Have never been a big Yes fan, but this comp of early Euro TV sessions has some very decent pre-Howe/Wakeman moments.
Small Faces – Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake. It started playing on YT, I didn’t press stop. Part visionary, part awful (particularly for some of the bands it clearly inspired).
