Gentle Giant: Three Friends the marvelous vocal intertwining mixed with a magnificent organ and the delicate fabric of the piece...all clues to prove that they were not just simple musicians...no, really...

Camel - Echoes
My perfect track from the post "Moonmadness" phase, along with "Tell me" and "Ice".
From "Nude" onwards, I find them too soft (they sound like America AHAH).

Ragazzo dell'Europa

Of course... heartbreaking piece, how could it not be, on par with Pagani's violin and mandolin.
But we, who split hairs, don't really care about that, at least not as a priority.
What matters to us first and foremost are the studio backstories, like the one about the drummer.
Gianna wasn’t having it - and she made that known to Annie Lennox, who was also present at the sessions.
But what kind of drummer is this? He looks like an accountant, plays stiffly - assuming he really knows how to play.
You need someone more muscular, Annie Lennox seemed to say, someone truly rock'n'roll.
So Gianna goes to the producer: a "certain" Conny Plank, German... he had brought the musicians.
Is there any chance we could change this drummer?
Conny Plank didn’t say anything but shot her a very nasty look. The thought of replacing the drummer didn’t cross his mind.
The drummer was also German, his name was Jaki Liebezeit.

“In California, I met Muhammad Ali who for me will always be Cassius Clay. They introduced me as the fastest man in the world. He looked me over, surprised: 'But you are white,' he said. 'Yes, but I am black inside.'

One [US, Psychedelic Rock 1972] Old Englishhh an unknown group and album, despite being released by Grunt, the label of the Jefferson Airplane, a typical example of what the psychedelic scene of the Bay Area could produce in its prime years. The album was released in '72, perhaps a bit late regarding psychedelia, but it's a lovely mix of ideas and sounds that, while making a precise reference to an era and a style that are now dated, can still be enjoyed with pleasure...

David Gilmour - Short And Sweet (Official Audio) I just miss "about face," but among the 3 I've listened to from his solo work, this is probably the best, really a nice surprise. He had just come out of the recording sessions for Animals, and you can feel it in several parts of the album.
