No Secrets In The Family - Kleinzeit (1992 Folk)

You will get diverging opinions about Kleinzeit. Some people say it is No Secrets in the Family's finest; others condemn it as their worst. And truth be told, both camps are right. Simply put, the Schönholzers went overboard on this album, an adaptation of Russell Hoban's novel -Kleinzeit, itself a very strange story about hospitals, love, pain, and medical devices. The songwriting is definitely a few steps higher in terms of complexity and experimentation, something Rock in Opposition fans will appreciate (particularly fans of News from Babel, although not for the vocals). On the other hand, the album misses the unbridled humor found on Play & Strange Laughter. Despite a lot of quirks and fun passages, Kleinzeit is serious business and, because of that and its duration (67 minutes), it gets slightly tedious. The previous albums were immediately likable, with one intelligent pun after another, and strange but catchy melodies. Kleinzeit requires a lot more getting used to, and even then you might very well find it too dense to appreciate beyond a strictly intellectual level. Despite these flaws, it remains a fine effort, and it is better recorded than No Secrets in the Family's other albums. Keyboardist Annette and guitarist Markus Schönholzer share vocals throughout. Bassist Moritz Rüdisüli also adds guitar and violin, while drummer Martin Gantenbein also plays a bit of flute. Guests include multi-reedist Urs Blöchlinger and the Work's Bill Gilonis. Difficult, long, and a bit cumbersome, Kleinzeit is either a brilliant conceptual album or a sin of grandeur, depending on what you are looking for in the music of this fine Swiss group. ~ François Couture, All Music Guide

Freedom's Children - Battle Hymn of the Broken Hearted Horde (1968 psych)

This band reflects a tiny but fascinating and oft-forgotten scene of South African progressive rock, regularly omitted from prog annals and denied their part in music history. But in their time, FREEDOM'S CHILDREN were no less innovative than ATOMIC ROOSTER, EGG or COLOSSEUM and their 1970 release "Astra" was an extremely important if completely missed record. Luckily it was re-issued in 1990 and again several times. The original band included Julian Laxton's lead guitar (and inventor of his 'black box', a much mythologized sound-producing device), Nic Martens on organ, bassist/lyricist Ramsay MacKay, Brian Davidson's voice, drummer Colin Pratley, Harry Poulos on organ and vocals and Gerard Nel's piano. Many well-known musicians have played in the band over the years including Trevor Rabin, Mick Jade and Ken E. Henson.
Unable to legally work in certain places due to issues surrounding Apartheid, the band found it difficult to break through, especially outside their country but continued making strides in the 1970s. Undoubtedly their most important work and finest effort is "Astra", a spicy and exciting blend of heavy prog with plenty of psych and blues throughout. The disc has been re-released as many as six times in varying degrees of quality, the last in 2004.
FREEDOM"S CHILDREN is one of the best of the hard-edged prog bands and a jewel in the South African prog crown, and is highly recommended to fans of the earlier, more intense heavy art bands.

Magic Sam - Magic Sam Live!

Samuel "Magic Sam" Gene Maghett[ (February 14, 1937 – December 1, 1969) was an influential blues guitarist and singer
Magic Sam was born in Grenada, Mississippi
After moving to Chicago, Illinois in 1950, his guitar playing earned bookings at blues clubs in Chicago's West Side. He met his old childhood friend Magic Slim there in 1955, and gave him his nickname. Sam recorded for the Cobra label from 1957 to 1959, recording singles, including "All Your Love" and "Easy Baby." They never appeared on the charts yet they had a profoud influence, far beyond Chicago's guitarists and singers. Together with the records of Otis Rush (also a Cobra artist) and Buddy Guy, they made a manifesto for a new kind of blues. Around this time Sam also worked briefly with Homesick James Williamson. Sam gained a following before being drafted into the Army. Not a natural soldier, Sam deserted after a couple of weeks' service and was subsequently caught and sentenced to six months imprisonment. He was given a dishonourable discharge on release, but the experience had undermined his confidence and immediate recordings for Mel London's Chief Records lacked the purpose of their predecessors.
In 1963, he gained national attention for his single "Feelin' Good (We're Gonna Boogie)". After successful touring of the United States, UK and Germany, he was signed to Delmark Records in 1967, where he recorded West Side Soul and Black Magic. He also continued performing live and toured with blues harp player Charlie Musselwhite.
Sam's breakthrough performance was at the Ann Arbor Blues Festival in 1969, which won him many bookings in the United States and Europe. His life and career was cut short when he suddenly died of a heart attack in December of the same year. He was 32 years old. He was buried in the Restvale Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois.
His guitar style, vocals and songwriting ability have inspired and influenced many blues musicians ever since. In The Blues Brothers, Jake Blues dedicates the band's performance of "Sweet Home Chicago" to the "late, great Magic Sam".
In 1982, Sam was posthumously inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.

Mickey Hart (ex-Grateful Dead) - 2 Albums

Mickey Hart (born September 11, 1943) is a percussionist and musicologist. He is best known as one of the two drummers from the rock band the Grateful Dead. He and fellow Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann earned the nickname "the rhythm devils".
Mickey Hart joined the Grateful Dead in September 1967, and left in February 1971. He re-joined the band for good in October 1974. During his sabbatical, in 1972, he recorded the album Rolling Thunder. He returned to the Dead in 1974, and remained with the group until their official dissolution in 1995. Collaboration with the remaining members of the Grateful Dead continues, under the band name The Dead.
Hart is also a percussionist, a solo artist, and the author of several books. His travels and his interest in all things percussion-related led him to collect percussion instruments, and to collaborate with percussion masters the world over.
Hart became interested in percussion as a grade-school student. Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji performed at schools around the country in the late 1950s and had the students try out the drums. Hart had been one of those students and he never forgot the experience. Olatunji later taught Hart and collaborated with Hart and the Grateful Dead on a regular basis.
Hart was influential in recording global musical traditions on the verge of possible extinction, working with archivists and ethnomusicologists at both the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, and the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage at the Smithsonian Institution. He is on the Board of Trustees of the American Folklife Center and has been a spokesperson for the Save Our Sounds audio preservation initiative. He also serves on the Library of Congress National Recorded Sound Preservation Board and is known for reissues and other recordings with historical and cultural value.
In 2000, Mickey Hart became a member of the Board of Directors of the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to seek to establish new knowledge and develop more effective therapies which awaken, stimulate and heal through the extraordinary power of music -- continuing his investigation into the connection between healing and rhythm, and the neural basis of rhythm. In 2003, he was honored with the organization’s Music Has Power Award, recognizing his advocacy and continuous commitment to raising public awareness of the positive effect of music
Hart's album Planet Drum not only hit #1 on the Billboard World Music Chart, remaining there for 26 weeks, it also received the Grammy Award for Best World Music Album in 1991—the first Grammy ever awarded in this category.
Mickey Hart has authored books on the history and traditions of drumming throughout history. His solo recordings (featuring a variety of guest musicians) are percussive of course, but also verge on New Age music categorically. His enthusiasm for world music traditions and preservation and collaborative efforts is comparable to that of guitarist Ry Cooder.
Before joining the Grateful Dead, he and his father, Leonard Hart, a champion rudimental drummer, owned and operated Hart Music, selling drums and musical instruments in San Carlos, California.
In 2005, Hart and the members of the band Particle joined to create the Hydra Project.
During 2006, Hart teamed up with fellow Grateful Dead bandmate Bill Kreutzmann, former Phish bassist Mike Gordon and former The Other Ones lead guitarist Steve Kimock, to form the Rhythm Devils, a nickname that refers to Hart and Kreutzmann's legendary drum solos and improvisation. The band features songs from their respective repertoires as well as new songs written by Jerry Garcia's songwriting companion Robert Hunter. The Rhythm Devils announced their first tour in 2006, which ended at the popular Vegoose festival in Las Vegas, Nevada over the Halloween weekend.

Piero Umiliani (Ex Braen's Machine) - 2 Albums

Piero Umiliani (born July 17, 1926 in Florence, Italy; died February 14, 2001 in Rome) was an Italian composer of film scores, most famous for his song "Mah Nà Mah Nà" of 1968, that was originally used for a Mondo documentary about Sweden (Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso) and became world-famous in 1977 when performed for The Muppet Show. The song was also an anthem of the Benny Hill show.
Like many of his Italian colleagues at that time, he composed the scores for many exploitation films in the 1960s and 1970s, covering genres such as spaghetti western, Eurospy, Giallo, and soft sex films. Although not as widely regarded as, for example, Ennio Morricone or Riz Ortolani, he helped form the style of the typical European '60s/'70s jazz-influenced film soundtrack that later experienced a revival in films like Kill Bill and Ocean's Twelve.

Piero Umiliani (Zalla) - Paessagi

Review (Waxidermy)

Paesaggi in Italian means ‘landscapes’ (I checked on Alta Vista Babel Fish translator). With a dull cover and very non descript name, I’m not sure what I was thinking in shelling out almost $80 for this record on Eb*y. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. Seems as if (almost) everything Umiliani touched turned to gold. His records contain an undertone of depth (and also sublimity) not usually found on library/lounge record’s grooves.

This record is a tribute to various countries music, but it all sounds Italian to me. My favorite tracks are Prime Nebbie (First Fogs ((babel fish again)). Swirling organ and subtle bossa/lounge groove on this one. Also the track Risaie is a nice bit of exotica tinged flute with funky backbeat. Apparently there is a I Marc 4 connection here, and this song is sort of a give away to their sound (think Beat Generation). Another Marc 4 sounding track is Tanto Lontano, with psychedelic vibrations; reminds me of the song ‘Metropolis’ off the Echoing America library on Sermi (also another Marc 4 backed album).

This is one of the lesser known Umiliani records but well worth seeking.
