  • Bibliografia Canterbury Ridotta
    Presentazione La scena di Canterbury fu un movimento musicale che si sviluppò tra la fine degli anni Sessanta e la meta dei Settanta nell’omonima cittadina del Kent. Anche se furono molti i gruppi che la composero – alcuni dei quali ancora oggi leggendari come i Soft Machine, i Caravan o i Matching Mole - il numero dei musicisti coinvolti fu sempre molto ridotto, favorendo così un rapporto osmotico tra le varie band anche nelle scelte musicali intraprese. Ciò che caratterizzò la Scena fu infatti una comune idea di arte che possiamo definire – citando Marcus O’Dair, autore della recente biografia di Wyatt – come “un certo stile rock psichedelico venato di jazz, pastorale, very english… con tempi complessi, una preferenza di tastiere rispetto alle chitarre e un modo di cantare convintamente radicato nell’East Kent, là dove i cantanti dell’epoca posavano tutti da Delta bluesman”. Nata con l’album Soft Machine (1968) e conclusa da Rock Bottom (1974) – nonostante i successivi epigoni - la Scena di Canterbury fu sicuramente il momento più alto di tutto il genere Progressive e uno dei movimenti musicali più innovativi (e altrettanto ostici) di tutto il rock. Riascoltato oggi può apparire troppo contorto e scarsamente fruibile, persino nelle sue espressioni più “pop” quali i dischi di Kevin Ayers o dei Caravan, ma in realtà è ancora un’esperienza unica ed entusiasmante per tutti gli ascoltatori disposti a superare le barriere e i tabù che troppo spesso caratterizzano il mondo della musica popolare. Aprile - Maggio 2015 Discografia: Guida all’ascolto Soft machine - Soft machine (1968) Una premessa importante: la Scena di Canterbury fu per sei Soft machine – Two (1969) entusiasmanti anni il fulcro della musica d’avanguardia inglese, Soft machine – Third (1970) proponendo opere spesso di non semplice fruizione che richiedono più Soft machine – Fourth (1971) di un ascolto per essere godute pienamente.

  • Robin Trower Biography by Greg Prato
    New Releases Discover Articles Recommendations My Profile Search bmit Que Robin Trower Biography by Greg Prato One of rock's prime guitarists, due to his uncanny ability to channel Jimi Hendrix's blues-psych, Fender Strat- fueled playing style. Read Full Biography Overview Biography Discography Songs Credits Related Share on Artist Biography by Greg Prato Throughout his long and winding solo career, guitarist Robin Trower has had to endure countless comparisons to Jimi Hendrix due to his uncanny ability to channel Hendrix's bluesy/psychedelic, Fender Strat-fueled playing style. Born on March 9, 1945 in Catford, England, Trower spent the early '60s playing guitar in various London-based outfits, the most successful being the R&B group the Paramounts, who specialized mostly in covers, but managed to issue several singles between 1963 and 1965. It wasn't until 1967 that Trower received his big break, however, when he joined Procol Harum. The group had just scored a worldwide smash hit with "A Whiter Shade of Pale," but the only problem was that the band's leader, singer/pianist Gary Brooker, didn't have a proper band to back him. Brooker was previously a bandmate of Trower's in the Paramounts, and offered the guitar slot in his new fast-rising project to his old friend. As a result, Trower appeared on such Procol Harum classics as 1967's Procol Harum, 1968's Shine on Brightly, 1969's A Salty Dog, 1970's Home (which spawned the popular Trower tune "Whiskey Train"), and 1971's Broken Barricades. While Procol Harum helped launch Trower's career, the guitarist realized there was limited space for his guitar work and eventually left for a solo career.

They’d just hired it for a couple of months… …My goal was to make the music I’d actually like to listen to. … …I was clearly imagining life without a band at all, imagining a music I could make alone, like the painter I always wanted to be.” – Robert Wyatt, 2012 Some have called this - the complete set of Robert Wyatt's solo recordings made in the US in late 1968 - the ultimate Holy Grail. Half of the material here is not only previously unreleased - it had never been heard, even by the most dedicated collectors of Wyatt rarities. Until reappearing, seemingly out of nowhere, last year, the demo for “Rivmic Melodies”, an extended sequence of song fragments destined to form the first side of the second album by Soft Machine (the band Wyatt had helped form in 1966 as drummer and lead vocalist, and with whom he had recorded an as-yet unreleased debut album in New York the previous spring), was presumed lost forever. As for the shorter song discovered on the same acetate, “Chelsa”, it wasn't even known to exist! This music was conceived by Wyatt while off the road during and after Soft Machine's second tour of the US with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, first in New York City during the summer of 1968, then in the fall of that year while staying at the Experience's rented house in California, where he was granted free access to the TTG recording facility during studio downtime.

  • Renaissance – Delane Lea Studios 1973
    Renaissance – DeLane Lea Studios 1973 (51:16, CD, Purple Pyramid Records, 1973 / 2015) Ursprünglich handelte es sich bei den hier auf CD veröffentlichten Aufnahmen von Renaissance um einen Radiomitschnitt, der bereits in der Vergangenheit mehrfach als Bootleg kursierte. Inwieweit das in Los Angeles ansässige Reissue Label Purple Pyramid Records (veröffentliche in der Vergangenheit u.a. Nektar, Greenslade, Amon Düül II) nun der rechtmäßige Besitzer der Aufnahmen ist, bleibt etwas im Dunkeln. Zwar findet sich auf der Renaissance-Webseite bisher kein Hinweis auf diesen Tonträger, andererseits kann man aber über diverse Internetkanäle das Album ganz offiziell erwerben und es ist auch eine weitere Liveaufnahme „Academy Of Music“ von der ’74er Tour angekündigt. Vielleicht wurde auch ganz einfach die Gunst der Stunde genutzt, um im Rahmen der anstehenden Live-Aktivitäten der Band etwas Geld – von wem und für wenn auch immer – in die Kassen zu spülen. Genug der Mutmaßungen, ab zur Musik. Dieser Live-Mitschnitt entstand 1973 in den DeLane Lea Studios in London, einer Lokation, in der die Band bereits im gleichen Jahr das damals aktuelle Album „Ashes Are Burning“ aufnahm, welches aber auch von Künstlern wie The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Queen oder Pink Floyd genutzt wurde. Da man sich aus verschiedenen Gründen dagegen entschied auf Tour zu gehen (u.a. wg. der damalige Ölkrise), lud man kurzerhand die nächsten Freude ein und spielte einfach einen knapp 51-minütigen Gig Live im Studio, welcher auch bei der BBC gesendet wurde. Als Gäste traten zudem bei „Ashes Are Burning“ die mit der Band befreundeten Andy Powell (Wishbone Ash) und Singer / Songwriter Al Stewart (u.a.

  • PROCOL HARUM 2014 BIOGRAPHY Procol Harum Are Still Going Strong
    PROCOL HARUM 2014 BIOGRAPHY Procol Harum are still going strong. March 2014 sees a new double CD, Inside/Outside, celebrating over forty years of studio and live recordings. In addition the spring will see a new download-only release, Some Long Road, featuring tracks from the band’s 2012 US tour. Alongside this Procol continue to tour many parts of the world, and are considering options on three continents at the moment. You could not be blamed for thinking that, with the monumental success of Procol's first smash hit, the band just stopped there, like so many others. Even the recently-awarded accolade of ‘most- played single of the past seventy-five years’ has not quelled their need to go forward: hence 2014’s new live album. In the past couple of years they have released ten re-mastered CD albums, plus the 2CD anthology Secrets of the Hive (all generally available in Europe, and sourceable on import); their DVDs In Concert with the Danish National Concert Orchestra and Live at Union Chapel have been widely acclaimed. There’s also a special 4-disc CD/DVD box-set compendium – aptly entitled All this and More – featuring 68 of the band’s many unique compositions: this prompted Classic Rock magazine to observe, ‘it’s small wonder The Who’s Tommy and Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody can be traced to Procol’s influence’. It could be termed a plethora of Procol. The quality of writing and performance has remained Procol Harum’s gold standard through the gradually-mutating line-ups: each participating musician has kept the ideas flowing and prevented Procol from resting on their laurels.

All of them equally progressive in their own way, and in some ways, share a common thread between them. But, ask any diehard prog-rock fan and I guarantee another name comes up each and every time: Gentle Giant. Although never quite attaining the same level of sales or status of celebrity as the aforementioned, Gentle Giant most certainly made a statement, left a mark and carved their names into the history books of English prog. A mixture of rock, funk, jazz, classical, and even a bit of punk, Gentle Giant was as progressive as they come—and then some. Holding down the fort for the better part of eight years was John Weathers. Although not their original drummer, it was Weathers that helped propel Gentle Giant to international fame with an interesting mix of bombastic backbeat, an ear for tuned percussion and the ability to play any time signature and style thrown his way. On my interview list from the beginning, John wasn’t an easy man to fi nd. A few Internet searches every so often didn’t turn up much until I happened to stumble across ‘Two Weeks In Pain - Under The Knife’ [http:// www.gorgg.org/UnderKnife1.htm], a twenty-fi ve-episode online diary of John’s experience in the hospital and under the care of the N.H.S.
