Tonight's Nightwatch is brought to you (at least the last 2 hours) by a pal named Bruce - he gave me access to a number of LPs I have long wanted... and now you, the Listener, can benefit from his selflessness!
| Before we get to Bruce's offerings, a quick feature on an obscure piece of Krautriock history - Frumpy's 1st LP (released 1970)... |
| Rosalie Frumpy - All Will Be Changed |
| Baroque Frumpy - All Will Be Changed |
| From one obscure krautrock LP to a classic - Amon Duul II's Yeti LP... and I think the time is ripe to play the title track!! |
| Yeti Amon Duul II - Yeti |
| Now we make a break for it... into someone else's record collection! As mentioned in the 'Introductory Remarks', Bruce McEwen gave me access to some LPs I have not been able to play for you... so my good fortune is yours! We start out with a look into a couple of Italian Prog-rock pieces. The first is obscure, a band called Area - they're counted amondg the ranks of Rock-In-Opposition, and definitely inhabited the edgier part of the Ital-prog landscape. Il Volo, not so muchj - definitely a classic there! |
| Interno Con Figure E Luci Area - gli dei se ne vanno, gli arrabbiati restano! |
| Return From Workuta Area - gli dei se ne vanno, gli arrabbiati restano! |
| Guardati Dal Mese Vicino All'aprile Area - gli dei se ne vanno, gli arrabbiati restano! |
| Vodka Cola Area - gli dei se ne vanno, gli arrabbiati restano! |
| Come Una Zanzara Il Volo - Il Volo |
| Il Calore Umano Il Volo - Il Volo |
| Now, to something a bit more current - at least it was recorded in the past 15 years. Djam Karet have been around since the late-80's, and 1999's Live at Orion is a great document of them in action! |
| Technology And Industry Djam Karet - Live At Orion |
| Forbidden By Rule Djam Karet - Live At Orion |
| Province19 The Visage Of War Djam Karet - Live At Orion |
| Run Cerberus Run Djam Karet - Live At Orion |
| "So.." said Bruce "... you like Magma? Zeuhl, you say? If it's Zeuhl you wants, it's Zeuhl I gots...". The two releases played here parenthesize the 'classic era' of Zeuhl music, Zao's 'Osiris' from '74, and Eskaton's 'Ardeur' from 1980. |
| Attente Eskaton - Ardeur |
| Dagon Eskaton - Ardeur |
| Eskaton Eskaton - Ardeur |
| Shardaz Zao - Osiris |
| Isis Zao - Osiris |
| Montreal Zao - Osiris |
