Ezhevika Statement

Here, at Ezhevika Fields, I'm providing information & listening preview samples of lost albums from the past. My only aim is to promote real art & music for some reasons currently unavailable according to my sources. If you are the artist or label & would like the link to be removed just contact me & it will be done.

If you wish to participate - feel free to send links in comments. If music is great & out of print/poorly distributed I'll publish it.

I'd like to thank all original uploaders; collectors sharing music giving us the unique possibility to explore the culture. Thank you!

Take care,

Hickory Wind - Hickory Wind (1969)

Hickory Wind was formed in India by four very young talentive musicians in 1969. They were influenced by country rock bands like Byrds and Buffalo Springfield.(Their name came from Byrds' tune.) And they also were faithful successor of soft soundin' psychedelic. The album had a very limited release, hence the high dollar value of an original today. The band broke up in 1970, with Sonny Prentice moving to Kentucky and the three remaining members forming B.F.Trike. Hickory Wind is another example of some young musicians who were very talented but didn't have the break or the promotion to make it big. Buy here

Scented Gardens Of The Mind

Scented Gardens Of The Mind by Dag Erik Asbjørnsen - this superb book provides a comprehensive guide to progressive rock and related music genres in more than 20 European countries. It perfectly complements the 'Cosmic Dreams At Play', which was a guide to German progressive and electronic rock. Most entries contain personnel details and discographies and a description of the music. Containing 552 pages, the book is profusely illustrated with a colour section in the centre. There is currently no similar English language encyclopaedic guide to the music of all these countries. Explore. Get.

Alain Buro - Fume, C'est du Belge (1975)

Alain Buro - vocals, guitars, piano, synthesizer, flute, sitar, bells
Eric de Wolf - vocals, bass
Robert Beleyn - guitar
Gerry D'Ayers - percussion, drums

This rare and unsung album is vaguely similar to Ange and Atoll, but less sophisticated and symphonic and more powerful. The tracks are song-based with French lyrics, but with excellent guitar work. The members were located in Brussels - to underline their origin the front cover was taken from the legendary Brussels café Mort Subite. (RD/DEA) taken from Asbjørnsen's "Scented Gardens Of The Mind". Link

La Zombie Et Ses Bizons - Herbe de bizon (2004)

Coming from different musical ways, several French musicians eventually met and formed LA ZOMBIE ET SES BIZONS. Climates, landscapes, colours are the lines of force of their music, that can be described as "Alice In Wonderland" played in the MAGMA way. "Herbe De Bison" (2004) is a happy instrumental celebration of Progressive rock, jazz, oriental music and a bit of trance, melting sounds of vibraphone, flute, guitar, bass and drums. It will lead you from the softiest of melodies, through long hypnotic ascendant lines to a climax of pure savage energy. That musical journey is a constant zapping from the candy sweetness of delusive ads to the acid truth of news reports. Never extremely violent or excessively naive, each piece is a wave that takes you and leaves you on foreign shores. Not to be missed !
