BLUE EFFECT (Modry Efekt) - BLUE EFFECT - 1969-1981 - 8 Czech Albums + singles (9CD Box) - LISTENprice: 300,00 PLN / 75,00 EUR
Nicely presented, 9-disc box set containing all 8 catalogue albums from 1969-1981 and an additional CD with single tracks and rarities. I do not know why the box bears the date 1989 - probably the band broke up then. Practically all the titles can be recommended - including the last, surprisingly good albums! A chunk of excellent music! The box does not contain the export LP "Kingdom Of Life" (1971) - released separately in Italy. Highly recommended! -

BLUES RIGHT OFF - BLUES RIGHT OFF - Our Blues Bag - ITA Card Sleeveprice: 75,00 PLN / 18,75 EUR
A very good only album, released in its day in just 500 copies, by an Italian formation performing progressive, bluesy rock with flute. The whole resembles a cross between John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Blodwyn Pig, Cream and early Jethro Tull. A very good record. Recommended. (K) -

BOHEMIA - Zrnko pisku - CZ SUPRAPHONprice: 80,00 PLN / 20,00 EUR
"Released by Panton back in 1978, the LP Zrnko Písku was a classic of the jazz-fusion circle, distinguished by excellent, even virtuoso saxophone parts, impressive guitar playing, great drumming and, to put it mildly, rather peculiar vocal parts... The record opened with the 7-minute Chór Minulých Nohou V Průchodu "Pasáž", composed by Kubik - a strongly swinging, thoroughly convoluted piece built on a distinctive bass line and backed by a slightly hoarse vocal that, in my opinion, was a foreign body. The track took on colour in the 4th minute thanks to atmospheric keyboard parts and especially the saxophone, although Semelka sadly returned in the last minute. Then came the 6-and-a-half-minute Zátiší Peronních Lístků, written by the guitarist - a great, pleasantly catchy, again swaying piece, though not shy of full-blooded, rock dynamics, showing Pavlíček as a diligent and at the same time eloquent pupil of the John McLaughlin school - not to mention more delicious phrases from the saxophone... The first side closed with the balladic Sen O Snu composed by Semelka - a very slow, 6-minute number sung mainly to the accompaniment of piano and occasional impressive phrases from a classical guitar. The second, even better side of the record was taken up by just two compositions by Jan Kubik, the first of which was the Horké Letní Stmívání, lasting over 9 minutes - probably the best part of the album, which, apart from a convoluted and not very convincing Gentle Giant-style introduction (and a similar short ending), delighted with both the dynamic flute playing and almost oriental sax phrases against the backdrop of a distinctive but spacious-sounding rhythm section, and finally with almost Crimson-like, intense riffs from the saxophone and guitar... The album ended with the very restless (even Semelka woke from his lethargy and sounded like a rock vocalist) Milenci Před Pollockovým Obrazem - a 7-and-a-half-minute piece, full of intricacies and stylistic twists, which in the sixth minute rewards the patient listener with incredibly lively, improvised playing from the saxophonist and drummer - a passage that would fit perfectly on one of the early Van Der Graaf Generator albums. Sensational! Who knows whether in the second half of the 70s our southern neighbours didn't play the best progressive jazz-rock of all! And please, let nobody jump in here with SBB..."

CD
BRAINBOX (see also: Focus / Jan Akkerman) - BRAINBOX - Parts +4 - SWE Flawed Gems Expanded Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
On CD for the first time! Second album by an excellent Dutch formation, earlier led by two later Focus musicians. How little known the LP "Parts", released in 1972 (by EMI Harvest), is can be shown by the fact that in the cult and much sought-after book "Scented Gardens Of The Mind" (devoted to the European progressive scene of the 70s) the author listed this catalogue record as... a compilation! So it is worth pointing out that it is completely brand new, rock, decidedly guitar-driven playing (with two ballads) close to the style of such groups as Wishbone Ash, the Dutch Cargo and Livin' Blues - with a touch of the then so popular Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Despite two weaker passages it is a really great, very varied record that will certainly satisfy 80-90% of fans of old playing! In addition several rare tracks from singles (not included among the bonus tracks to the debut) and a live number from the super rare, compilation (vinyl) soundtrack to the film 'Paradiso' (1971) are included. Highly recommended! -
CD
BRAINCHILD - BRAINCHILD - Healing Of The Lunatic Owl - EU Digipack - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
CD reissue of the only, very good album, released in 1970, by a British band playing a somewhat jazzy form of progressive rock in the style of Web, Walrus, Galliard, If and Heaven - with a brass section, with numerous flute parts + organ and nice guitar. In my book on British Rock the album received a well-deserved 8 points. Digipak. Highly recommended! -
CD
BRAINTICKET - BRAINTICKET - Celestial Ocean + Live In Rome 1973 (2CD) - US Purple Pyramid Digipack Deluxe Editionprice: 85,00 PLN / 21,25 EUR
The third album by a Swiss band playing a sophisticated and very spacious variety of progressive rock, based on a wealth of instruments and psychedelic sound effects. You can hear echoes of Pink Floyd and of German bands such as Agitation Free or Amon Duul II. American edition expanded with a second disc, containing a recording of a concert in Rome, on 3 October 1973. -
CD
BRAM STOKER - BRAM STOKER - Heavy Rock Spectacular - GER Digipack Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Tasteful digipak edition of the only album, released in 1972 by the small Windmill label, by a forgotten British band, very successfully combining heavy guitar sounds with organ, instrumental passages, something like Beggars Opera and The Nice with Atomic Rooster. Dark mood, few vocals, flawless performance. Highly recommended! (JL) -
CD
BREAKOUT (see also: Tadeusz Nalepa) - BREAKOUT - 70a - POL Remastered Editionprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Without doubt, this second album by the band, recorded with Józef Skrzek (bass, piano) and Włodzimierz Nahorny (saxophone, flute), is among the best achievements of Tadeusz Nalepa. Musically it is a combination of the psychedelic playing from the first album, the classic blues-rock known from the band's later records, and at times you can even hear slight influences of Led Zeppelin and jazz. A 2022 remastered reissue. A MUST! (JL) -
CD
BROTH (see also: Link Wray) - BROTH - Broth - US Mandala Remastered Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The only album, released in 1970 by Mercury, by an ephemeral, jazz-progressive formation from the States, led by composer and arranger Steve Verroca. The record contains dynamic playing combining progressive rock, jazz (brass parts), blues and a pinch of early Santana. Nice guitar parts, brass, dense playing by the rhythm section and quite a strong vocal. Recommended. -

BROWN, PETE & PIBLOKTO (see also: Jack Bruce / Cream) - PETE BROWN & PIBLOKTO! - Thousands On A Raft - GER Repertoire Digipack - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
A brilliant, second album by a British progressive band led by the former Cream lyricist - the strong-voiced Pete Brown. Both Piblokto albums contained concrete, rock playing with Hammond and juicy guitar - full of improvisation, but without boring - a bit in the style of Colosseum, but different. This is British rock of the highest shelf! Repertoire digipak. -

CD
BULL ANGUS - BULL ANGUS - Free For All - US Mandala Digipack Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Second (and last) album by a great American hard-progressive formation, better known for the popular debut LP "Bull Angus" (1971) - also reissued on CD! On the 'second' the band offered a more progressive face, that is, an eclectic, hard-to-describe heavy rock with typically American influences. Practically every track sounded different, and fans of The Beatles will surely be interested in the nice, dynamic cover of 'Savoy Truffle', though it departs little from the original. Recommended! -
CD
