Røde Mor was the seventies most significant political band-and-art-comunity in Denmark. They were very succesfully - thoug called themselves "kommunists" - they knew how to make money and great live acts. Their final act is over - as meaningfull protest-band, but they have been reunited a couple of times lately: Last exit before entry to the history books. hear this macnificent band: What they did, how they did it - and why...
IGRA STAKLENIH PERLI, the ultimate ex-Yugoslavian space psych rock band, was formed in 1976 in Belgrade, Serbia, having been named after the famous novel by Hermann Hesse - "Das Glasperlenspiel" (The Glass Beads Game). The original line-up consisted of: Zoran Lakic (keyboards), Vojkan Rakic (guitar), Predrag Vukovic (percussions) and Drasko Nikodijevic (bass & vocals). In late 1977 Dragan Soc joined the band as drummer while they played live concerts at Belgrade clubs, preparing to start recording their first album, which they did in mid 1978. Upon its release the next year, the band gained reputation for elaborated visual stage effects and light show directed by their friend Goran Cvetic. Nikodijevic was replaced by rock journalist Slobodan Trbojevic on bass prior to recording the second album in late 1979. After its release in 1980 the guitarist Ivan Pajevic replaced Rakic and Nikodijevic was back on bass, but shortly the band ceased to exist. Nikodijevic and Rakic later formed post-punk/neo-psych White Rabbit Band but in late 1980s moved to USA where they continued under the name White Rabbit Cult. 
The remaining members together with German publisher Thomas Werner released at the beginning of 1990s three albums of ISP old live material and album outtakes for the German-based label Kalemegdan Disk.IGRA STAKLENIH PERLI labelled their music style as "stream of consciousness music". Their both studio albums, the first eponymous "Igra Staklenih Perli" from 1979 and the second "Vrt Svetlosti" from 1980, are pretty similar in sound and resemble the style from early PINK FLOYD and HAWKWIND psychedelia, to German kraut-rock (notably CAN and TANGERINE DREAM), to HILLAGE-era GONG among many. Interesting music effort especially considering the fact it was the new wave boom period when they tried to pursue a quite different music philosophy.Recommended listen to any devoted prog fan. Since all their albums were issued on vinyl format it might be difficult task to find them, but Kalemegdan Disk may be a good starting address.: : : Sead S. Fetahagic, Bosnia and Herzegovina : : :

Heratius - Gwendolyne - Eccentric and un-categorizable French band's sole LP, released in 1978. Electric guitars, reeds, organ, percussion and voice etc., fitting comfortably amongst Philemon Arthur and The Dung, Dedalus and the more experimental bits of Faust; in short, idiosyncratic with a capital "I.

Great French folk-psych record!
This is an early French jazz/rock excursion in the vein of Soft Machine 4/5. Hence, there is a certain early Canterbury flair to the music. The emphasis is more towards jazz than rock. The band features future Magma members Francois Moze and Jean-Pol Asseline. There also seems to be a small amount of contemporary Miles Davis influence, a la _In a Silent Way_, in the some of the more psychedelic moments. This album becomes more interesting to me, the more that I listen to it. Recommended if you like early Soft Machine and Moving Gelatine Plates. Dirk Evans
Third album of Alain MARKUSFELD after "Le Monde En Etages" (1970) and "Le Son Tombe Du Ciel" (1971), "Desert Noir" (1977) offers ethereal, delicate and fragile melodies based on the perfection of his guitarist's play. The result is close to a great success worthy of JADE WARRIOR or Steve TIBBETTS, made of highly evoking, long and instrumental parts. A second more surprising compareason can evoke the unlikely meeting between an acoustic Larry CORYELL and an electric Randy CALIFORNIA (SPIRIT)... MUSEA
Doris as musician. That Doris is deadly is not at all so clear to herself. Because she actually loves all people. She went to a "humanistic" high school so to say, where she naturally also had music lessons. She likes music very much, as everything. Whether or not she controls one instrument or them all is no matter; she finds it amazing if people make music. Actually everybody should make a little bit of music. Doris sees herself not as a musician exactly; she would consider that to be a limitation. Luckily there are so many, who attend to the music-making on her behalf. Doris rather likes to sing, her favorite instruments are sirens. Vinyl On Demand
Long regarded as one Europe's finest jazz bassists, the Danish Vinding has played with such stars as Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Gary Burton, Dizzy Gillespie, and Bob Brookmeyer, among others. Vinding taught himself to play, and by the age of 16 was performing professionally. He served as the house bassist at the Montmartre night club in Copenhagen, where he accompanied many famous visiting American musicians. He began recording as a sideman in the late '60s. In 1974, he recorded with bebop pianist Duke Jordan. That year he also led a date that produced the album Danish Design on the Sonet label. Vinding played in the Radioens Big Band from 1978 and with Ernie Wilkins' Almost Big Band from 1980. During the '80s, he worked and recorded with pianist Kenny Drew and flugelhornist Art Farmer, pianist Herbie Hancock, guitarist Doug Raney, and many others. With drummer Billy Hart, Vinding was a member of a Hank Jones-led group called the Great Jazz Trio. The group released several albums' worth of material in the late '80s and early '90s. Vinding was extremely active during the '90s, recording with such musicians as saxophonist Jesper Thilo, pianist Martial Solal, and many others. By the late '90s, he had begun recording as a leader more often. In 1997 he formed the Mads Vinding Trio with his fellow Dane drummer Alex Riel and the Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi. That configuration recorded The Kingdom Where Nobody Dies for Stunt Records. Pieranunzi was replaced on subsequent trio albums by Roger Kellaway and Carsten Dahl. Vinding has been unusually prolific. He's played on upwards of 600 recordings (by his own count) and received many European jazz awards. In addition to his recording and performance activities, Vinding has also composed for film. ~ Chris Kelsey, All Music Guide
Heavy Dutch acid rock album, sung in English, with some Airplance moves, hard guitarwork with effects, VERY fine! Very rare late 60's Dutch west coast style. Acid psych with great female vocals and killer fuzz guitar leads!

Sperm was the biggest name of Helsinki underground, having in its line-up among all Mattijuhani Koponen, P.Y. Hiltunen, Antero Helander, J.O. Mallander, Markus Heikkerц and the musical primus motor Pekka Airaksinen. The group arranged happenings, performances and concerts (with appropriate psychedelic light shows); and managed to cause some debate and public outrage at the time in Finland. Sperm created their experimental compositions using only various guitar effects and tape manipulations; the results of which could these days be called "ambient noise". Taken from FinnScene
Reissue of November's legendary first two albums on one compact disc. These guys are known for serving up top notch killer Swedish heavy progressive blues power rock.
2:a - Second album by this Swedish heavy rock band released in 1971. More power filled blues rock produced by Geog Wadenius (Made In Sweden). A greater range of music is on offer compared to their debut release and this is overall a heavier affair but with some softer piano sections and melancholic vocals. Great band.
This is probably the most “easy and accessible” album of Franco Battiato’s “prog period”…
An internationally known artist, Franco Battiato has been everything in his long career, from beat singer to avantgarde performer, producer, contemporary music composer.
