DUNBAR, AYNSLEY (see also: Tempest / Jody Grind / Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation) - AYNSLEY DUNBAR - Blue Whale - EU Ethelion Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
A remastered and excellent-sounding vinyl edition of the supposedly solo album, recorded in 1970 and released in the UK by Warner Bros (or Metronome in Germany), by the former drummer of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (1966-1967), The Jeff Beck Group (1967) and of course the leader of his own band Retaliation (1967-1969). Recorded in a great line-up (including the guitarist Ivan Zagni - known from the debut of the band Jody Grind - and Paul Williams - the future vocalist of Juicy Lucy and Tempest), "Blue Whale" is superb, juicy progressive rock in the vein of Colosseum and Zappa from the LP "Hot Rats" - that is, based on numerous, improvised instrumental parts. The album may not have an attractive cover (quite the contrary), but the music is excellent! New, sealed. A MUST! (JL) -

FLAMENGO - FLAMENGO - Kure V Hodinkach - CZE Supraphon Remastered Press - LISTENprice: 150,00 PLN / 37,50 EUR
A remastered, beautiful-sounding version of one of my most beloved records from the former Eastern Bloc, released in 1972 (and immediately withdrawn from the market by the Czechoslovak censorship)! It is without doubt in the top three of the best rock records from behind the Iron Curtain and probably the most interesting album ever released in the former Czechoslovakia! Great, very engrossing, jazzy, decidedly European playing in the vein of Colosseum and If (but gentler, without rough edges) - with charmingly catchy melodies, a very solid rhythm section, sharp guitar parts and really nice Czech vocals by the former vocalist of Blue Effect. This is not yet another Spanish or Italian mediocre copy of Mahavishnu Orchestra, but progressive jazz rock from the highest world shelf! Gatefold sleeve. A MUST! -

HAMMEL, PAVOL & VARGA, MARIAN (see also: Collegium Musicum / Prudy) - PAVOL HAMMEL / MARIAN VARGA / RADIM HLADIK - Na II. programe sna - SLO Opus Press - LISTENprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
In 1976 Hammel, Varga and Hladik and a few friends from Prúdy and Fermata (including Hájek, Szapu and Kozma on drums and Belák on bass) got together to record the LP Na II. Programe Sna - credited to Pavol Hammel, Marián Varga, Radim Hladík - released by Opus in 1977 in a single sleeve, but with an additional insert with a photograph of the trio. To tell the truth, it was once again a record by two old pals (and at the same time the composers of the whole material), and the name of the guitarist (of course audible, but at the level of an important session musician) probably ended up on the cover for 'the sum of his work' and for marketing reasons. Opinions about this album are divided. Some consider it almost a classic of progressive rock from this part of Europe, and others, again, that it is poppy, that it is uneven... In this case the truth lies, unusually, in the middle, since roughly half of these more complicated tracks (as a rule, oddly enough, written by the vocalist) are top-shelf Czech rock, and indeed - the second part of the record (and in particular its second side) consists of short, usually formally not very complicated pieces written by Varga (to lyrics by Peteraj) (as if part of a rock opera or musical and not of a progressive album) sung with flair by Hammel. The problem is that if you like the style, intonation and timbre of the voice of the leader of Prúdy (and I have come to like it a lot - I do not even know when!), then you listen to the whole record with great pleasure! Lovers of concrete, largely instrumental playing, on the other hand, had better have a programming function on their player :-) The first side opened with the heavy, swaying and almost hard-progressive Na Druhom Programe Sna composed by the H-V duo - sung by Hammel in a strong voice, a mere 3-and-a-half-minute piece adorned with a beautiful, though short solo by Hladik using a volume pedal and another one at full throttle. So the beginning was very promising! Then came the mere 100-second Náhle - a beautiful, balladic piece based on the interplay of Spanish and electric guitar, strings, piano and melodic vocals. The 4-minute Letia Husi is an almost Emerson-like piece modelled a little on She Belongs To Me by The Nice and mostly filled with an almost psychedelic keyboard improvisation played against the background of drums nicely pumping out a fast, slightly broken rhythm! The one-minute Voda was another refined miniature for vocals, piano and some percussion bits, while the 7-minute S Chodníkom Na Chrbte, written by Hammel, is a superb progressive piece meeting all the standards of a genre classic: a catchy theme played by a slightly drawling guitar, non-trivial playing by the rhythm section; a free, almost improvised duel between the electric guitar and overdriven, specially modulated Hammond organ, and finally a dynamic culmination. Super! For this track alone it is worth having this record! The first part of the album was closed by the monumental Ľalia Poľná - a 4-minute piece based on the sound of church organ (vocals and backing vocals) and sounding almost like a fragment of a mass. The second side was opened by the cheerful, folky, pop-rock and slightly funny Papageno Z Novej Vsi - a short piece by Varga that would once have been a mere waste of time and which today I listen to with pleasure. Unfortunately, V Zelenej Pamäti, composed by Pavol, poppy, slightly Latin and, on top of that, garnished with loud female backing vocals, was certainly the only truly weak number on Na II. Programe Sna. Na Schodoch Gymnázia, played in the style of playful, jazzy Queen, was perhaps not much better, but at least it was sung and played in an unforced way. I will not hide that the third pop-rock number in a row (fortunately a short one), Správne Žiť, may drive hard-line progsters to tears or fury), but one simply has to accept this somewhat musical-like convention and that is that. Z Ofsajdu, which followed, was a ballad-rock piece adorned with a catchy theme played on flute and a very nice guitar solo by Hladik. The penultimate track on the album, composed by Hammel, the over 4-minute Lodička Z Papiera, was a long-awaited, dynamic and quite sophisticated, twisting, almost shouted rocker combining the style of ELP, early Queen and Uriah Heep! If this piece had been on the first side, I am sure half the listeners would never have turned the vinyl over to the second side (but the first would have been well worn...), all the more so since the whole thing was closed by Až Túto Moju Pieseň Dohrajú, played in an irritating Dixieland style (later transformed into a kind of sea shanty). It was a close thing that this would be the last title in Hammel's career, since in August 1976 he barely escaped death. He was supposed to take the morning plane from Prague to his home in Bratislava, but because he had 'partied' a little at night, he overslept, and the plane he was supposed to fly on crashed because of a serious failure near Bratislava while attempting to land on water, and all the passengers died. Because the artist was on the passenger list, for several hours he was believed dead. When he landed in Bratislava on the next flight, one can easily imagine the joy of his distraught family and friends!

A great live album, closing the best period of the band's work. It was also the last record with Gary Thain on bass and Miller Anderson on guitar and vocals. The second part of the album is filled with a 25-minute quasi-suite, made up of recordings from the debut album. Quite a lot of blowing of horns. 2015 reissue, in a gatefold sleeve, sealed. -

IF - IF - Live At The BBC 1970-1972 - EU Atos / Verne Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
This limited, excellently recorded, 58-minute LP gathers superb, rare material by the best (alongside Colosseum) British jazz-rock band, taken from radio sessions (1970-1972) for the BBC. The first side of the record is filled by two sessions from 1970-1971, that is, from the period of the second and third albums (of course in altered versions). The second side is filled by an exquisite, half-hour concert recorded in summer 1972, just after the release of the fourth record. I must stress that the band plays slightly more dynamically here than on the catalogue albums, and the sound quality is simply ideal - as on the studio titles! In my opinion this is the best IF I have heard! It is exquisite to listen to from start to finish! A must! NEW, SEALED. -
