Procol Harum was not immediately the band which releases every year one or two big hits but their music was growing strong and therefore maybe not accessible enough for the average music lover.
Esoteric Recordings will re-release four titles of Procol Harum in 2015 in their 'DeLuxe' campaign which they are currently promoting.
This re-releases will also attract the attention of the average music lover and those of them who never would have heard of this band.

Stone the Crows was one of the few bands who had three strong musicians on board. Maggie Bell with her unique voice, the guitar tricks of Les Harvey and the incredible voice and bass playing of the great James 'Jimmy' Dewar.
Convince yourself of the quality which Stone The Crows always presented and buy their albums while you still can.

This double album, parts two and three of Consider The Source's 'World War Trio', is a special creature (take a moment to read the track titles, it's worth it) (seriously, do it). Most impressive is the care spent on the composition of the twenty tracks. You can find intelligently structured songs in the vein of Tool, and at other times we find ourselves almost entirely in jazz territory, with solos and themes and melodic deviations that sound like improvisations. The key words here are 'constant variation'. The average song length is about six to seven minutes, and in those time periods a lot (a lot!) happens. It's refreshing to listen to a band that spends so much time and effort on composing such often complex song structures, without sounding incoherent or even abstract.
It's a shame, though, that the impressive compositions miss some impact here and there. Is it the somewhat flat production, or were the tracks played too 'nicely' during the recording sessions? Whatever the case: the music tends to disappear from time to time, and rarely do the tracks reach your bones; far too often the music clings to your skin, but doesn't go deeper. This 'World War Trio' never becomes a full-on musical world war.
Still, if there's one thing this reviewer is convinced of, it's that it must be fantastic to hear these songs live. In all probability, this is where the band's biggest strengths will lie. If they ever play in a venue near you, go watch them. Without a doubt. It will surely be worth it.

With their only self-penned song "Let's Pray For Peace" Vanilla Fudge knows how to touch you, to move you deep in your heart. This number should be issued as the a new charity song against all the current terror and violence in the world. This is simply a very special song and you would certainly not consider it as a Vanilla Fudge tune when you should hear this for the first time. Unfortunately, this song is not yet available at Spotify, otherwise I would have posted it with pleasure.
Even with worldwide famous covers Vanilla Fudge knows how to convince us for 100% of their brilliant adaptation of these celebrated classics.

Wild River, you say? Doesn't ring a bell. They're Belgian, apparently. From Mortsel, Antwerp, no less. They must have been flying under the radar and liked it there. All jokes aside: they deserve a worldwide audience. Their output is extremely excellent. Once the first note dies out, you're left thinking: 'Ah, Pink Floyd!'. A compliment to die for. Wild River offers delicate guitar music with subtle fragrances, beautiful sounds and intelligent lyrics. The Keys & Chords staff received two albums, '4' and 'Windrush'. The most intriguing song is 'Who Are You', with its bridge filled with quotes that I can't quite put my finger on. It reminded me of Guns N' Roses' 'Madagascar'. I'd love to know the meaning behind this artistic decision. 'Peace And Love' is equally compelling, chugging along nicely. 'Chugging' may sound negative, but it's meant with the utmost of respect. The absolute highlight is 'Forever Beautiful', that lives up to its title and then some. Three minutes in, the guitar solo brought many misty tears to this reviewer's eye. Composer Serge Sorber needs to be buried under a plethora of ducats, guilders and sestertii for the gift he gave the world with this song. Closing time comes along with 'Windrush Diary', an epic instrumental 10 minute coda. Wow. So that's Wild River for you. Unfortunately and undeservedly unknown. To be discovered today. Belgian progressive rock with a symphonic slice on the side.

Even with self-re-recorded songs The Chocolate Watch Band knows how to amaze us with every song on this new cd. These are songs for music lovers with a broad variety of musical interest, not for narrow minded people who wasting their time on festivals like Tomorrowland. This is timeless music for timeless beings.

Juicy Lucy still exists today but as a power trio and there is no connection with the line-up of musicians as mentioned on this album.  Unfortunately, a name from the sixties which only remains in our memories.

Instrumental Music that fuses jazz-rock with other influences.

The third album in a trilogy, for lovers of classic progressive rock, with modern influences. Recommended!

The second album of an Italian band that reminds me of King Crimson.

The long awaited debut of a new band, born out of a genre defying sound between vocalist Sasha Masakowski en guitarist Cliff Hines.
