OUT OF FOCUS (see also: Sahara) - OUT OF FOCUS - Four Letter Monday Afternoon +10 (2CD) - EU Prog Gems Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 80,00 PLN / 20,00 EUR
Released in autumn 1972, the third album, a double on vinyl, by this wonderful German band was the quintessence of the best in jazzy progressive rock! I used to think that 'the third one' was weaker than its somewhat more accessible (concise) predecessors, but I was wrong! True, on 'Four Letter' there is more trumpeting, more improvisation (especially in the 50-minute suite filling two sides of the vinyl...) and a little less guitar, but there is no lack of gradually building emotions and the music often genuinely took your breath away! It was still the same band, but playing more difficult material with somewhat greater ease. Compared with Out Of Focus, the better-known bands active at the time and obsessed with the 'fusion' style, such as Soft Machine, Nucleus or most of the Canterbury groups, simply didn't stand a chance! Unfortunately, this was the band's last catalogue album. Almost the whole second disc is filled with unreleased material from the same recording session, released in 2002 on the CD 'Rat Roads', and the last, 10-minute live track from Palermo from 1972 is also included. Excellent sound - slightly clearer than on the old CD editions, and the disc contains a nicer booklet again collecting several rare photos of this splendid band! This double CD lasts as much as 156 minutes! AN ABSOLUTE MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
OUT OF FOCUS (see also: Sahara) - OUT OF FOCUS - Four Letter Monday Afternoon (2LP) - GRE Missing Vinyl Remastered Press - LISTENprice: 200,00 PLN / 50,00 EUR
The third, double album by a wonderful German band, the quintessence of the best in progressive rock! All three albums by the Germans were at such a high level that it takes your breath away! The first two titles are more rock-oriented, while the third contains more elements of jazz (that is, it is more jazz-rock...) - yet it is in no way inferior to its predecessors. A MUST! -
OUT OF FOCUS (see also: Sahara) - OUT OF FOCUS - Out Of Focus - GRE Missing Vinyl Remastered Press - LISTENprice: 150,00 PLN / 37,50 EUR
Official, Greek edition from Missing Vinyl of the brilliant second album by one of literally a handful of the best, progressive formations from continental Europe! A brilliant combination of the moods of early Jethro Tull with Pink Floyd and a pinch of Colosseum, backed by very solid playing by the rhythm section and an excellent, pleasantly mannered vocal. A record without weak points! It is a record minimally more jazzy than the LP "Wake Up", but even more varied and, like the band's third, "Four Letter Monday Afternoon", at the same high level as the debut! Both of OOF's earliest albums are the absolute peak of thoroughbred, progressive playing! A MUST! -
OUT OF FOCUS (see also: Sahara) - OUT OF FOCUS - Wake Up - GRE Missing Vinyl Remastered Press - LISTENprice: 150,00 PLN / 37,50 EUR
Official Greek reissue (from Missing Vinyl) of the debut album by one of literally a handful of the best progressive bands from continental Europe! A brilliant combination of the moods of early Jethro Tull with Pink Floyd and a pinch of Colosseum - backed by very solid playing by the rhythm section and an excellent, pleasantly mannered vocal. This is an LP without weak points! The band's second album in the discography, titled simply "Out Of Focus", was on an equally high level and was also reissued in the same edition. A MUST! (JL) -

PINK MICE (see also: Electric Food) - PINK MICE - In Action / In Synthesizer Sound (1971-73) - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Under this name are hiding the musicians of Lucifer's Friend - this time combining instrumental heavy-rock in the vein of Deep Purple and Uriah Heep (and their own 1970 debut) with works of classical music. The first Pink Mice album is great, mainly because of the heavy (at moments) sound of the guitars - almost lifted straight from the LF debut. Unfortunately, the second record, released two years later (almost in a different era), was dominated by synthesizers and was much gentler and weaker than the debut - a typical bonus. Recommended! (JL) -

PUHDYS - PUHDYS - Best Of - Sony Musicprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The "Best Of" compilation by Puhdys, one of the best-known rock bands from the former GDR, shows the group above all as an efficient, thoroughbred rock band with a very distinctive sound. Classic, guitar-driven arrangements dominate here - solid riffs, clear, melodic solos and a clearly rooted rhythm section. Tracks such as "Ikarus" or "Geh zu ihr" rest on a strong foundation of bass and drums, over which broad, slightly pompous vocal lines are built. The sound is tight but not heavy - it is mainstream rock, with a clear emphasis on melody and chorus. A characteristic element is also the keyboards, which in many recordings subtly complement the guitar, giving the whole a slightly spacious, at times almost symphonic shade. In the ballads the tempo slows down and the arrangements become more sparing, but the band avoids excessive sweetness - even the calmer tracks have a distinct rock backbone. The production is typical of its time - clear, without excessive compression, with a natural sound of the instruments. Thanks to this the compilation sounds coherent and authentic, and its greatest strength remains the band's craftsmanship: a feel for melody, proportion and dynamics. It is a set that shows Puhdys as a mature, classic rock band - without experiments, but with great musical consistency and a recognisable style. New, sealed. -

REACTION - REACTION - Reaction - GER Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The only album, originally released by Polydor, by this classic power trio from Germany contained a mighty dose of uncompromising, heavy rock with a grimy, slightly bluesy sound, resembling a cross between the work of Cream, Leaf Hound, May Blitz, November and Silberbart. Recommended! -
REICHEL, ACHIM - ACHIM REICHEL - Autovision - EU Press - UNIKALNY CDprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
The album from 1974 presents long, repetitive guitar pieces built on looped phrases with elements of krautrock and ambient, in places trance-like and hypnotic. Achim Reichel was one of the first in Germany to use tape looping of the guitar intensively – he recorded phrases and played them back with a delay, creating multi-layered structures without the involvement of a band. ONLY ONE COPY! New, sealed. -

RUFUS ZUPHALL - RUFUS ZUPHALL - Phallobst +5 - EU Prog Gems Expanded Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
Another, somewhat forgotten, krautrock gem! After the self-financed release in January 1971 of the strongly Jethro Tull-like debut album 'Weiss Der Teufel' the band was snapped up by the progressive-folk label Pilz and in the same year the splendid Phallobst reached the shops. The record combined, in a striking way, classic, at times heavyish progressive rock with elements of folk, blues and psychedelia, and its sound, as on the debut, relied among other things on the characteristic flute, restrained but charming vocal parts and of course on extended instrumental parts. So, not far from what the Jethro Tull musicians offered on their 'Benefit' and 'Aqualung'! The German band did not waste its time in the studio - the 'second one' sounded more professional than the (in its own way splendid, raw-sounding) debut; moreover the musicians did not shy away from experiments with sound or striking changes (speeding-ups) of tempo. Of course this is not music that grabs you the first time, but it is very rewarding after several listens! Additionally 5 demo recordings from 1972 are included, intended for the third album 'Avalon And On', unreleased at the time. Without doubt this is the best-sounding CD version! A MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
RUFUS ZUPHALL - RUFUS ZUPHALL - Weiss der Teufel +3 - EU Prog Gems Expanded Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A revelation! The debut, truly exquisite album by a German progressive band, released in January 1971, strongly reminiscent of early Jethro Tull recordings, but served more raw and in a slightly psychedelic style. Clear melodies, plenty of flute, dense drums, overdriven guitar. The band released the record at its own expense in a run of 500 copies, and original vinyls in the rarely seen, great condition are worth over 1000 euros! Additionally included are two tracks from 1970 which did not fit on the original LP and an early version of a track that appeared on the second album, "Phallobst" (1971). In my opinion it is one of the best ten titles from the circle of German prog rock! Without doubt this is the best-sounding CD version! A MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
