Talix - Spuren (1971)
Way back in May, maybe June, I put out a call for this German rarity, and never heard a word until a little over a week ago, when I heard from "Dave K" who said he had a CDR of this and would rip it, scan the covers and upload it!! This has never been officially released on CD and the vinyl goes for big bucks - we all owe "Dave" a big thank you. The music - nothing here is going to shock anybody, but this is great vintage prog, very quirky, mostly based on guitar and saxophone with lashings of keyboard and flute. German vocals sound jarringly poppy at times - this may take a few listens to get into!! This was their only release as Talix - they renamed themselves Pinguin and released a real nice keyboard-based album called "Der Grosse Rote Vogel" (posted 7-5-06).

Download

Family - Anyway (1970)
This is the fourth release from one of Britain's best bands of the 1970's. Roger Chapman's vocals may be an acquired taste, but I think the music they made is nothing less than powerful. Charlie Whitney's guitar playing is remarkable - his solo on "Lives and Ladies" is so damn good right on the mark. The original LP release had eight tracks, four live and four studio. This reissue has three live bonus cuts, including a version of "Part of the Load" that is twice as long as the original.

Part 1 Part 2

Can - Paris 12 May 1973
Disc One: 01 - Whole People Queueing (36:38) 02 - One More Night (9:08)
Disc Two: 01 - Spoon / Stars & Lines (32:09) 02 - Vitamin C (13:44)

Holger Czukay - Bass
Michael Karoli - Guitar
Jaki Liebezeit - Drums
Irmin Schmidt - Keyboards
Damo Suzuki - Vocals

Part 1 Part 2

Woody Kern - The Awful Disclosures Of Maria Monk (1969)
I found this sweet little obscurity on e-bay by accident while I was searching for the book the album is named after. British group Woody Kern's only album was out of print for 30 years, and their main claim to fame seems to be that the bass player was with Roxy Music for 8 months in the 1980's! The music is a little bit prog, a little bit psych, and a little bit "British Blues" in the vein of Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation. Great use of flute and saxophone, some real nice lead guitar. All in all a real solid effort which doesn't deserve the obscurity it has had all these tears. All fans of vintage British rock will enjoy this one!

Brilliant particularly Whole people queueing! I see you are inundated with requests but do you have any solo efforts by the members of can, particularly Holger Czukay stuff? I am bit slow with technology but given instructions I'd gladly share some of Damo Suzuki's stuff.

Thanks very, very, very much for this Can Concert!

It's superb!

If anyone knows where I could find Can - Cannibalism 2, please let me know! It was posted at Chocoreve but deleted the same month. And I looked all over and didn't find anything! Found the other 2 in the mule.

If someone knows a good DC++ hub where I can find this album and other good stuff, please, write me!

hey liam, thanks for the can concert, just discovered it.. hope it's better than the colchester one where it sounds like they're hitting pots 'n pans.. still interesting, though.. see puschkin put up rite time and flow motion, 2 great albums.. this is a little more esoteric, and well, what i've come to expect from yr eminence.. now here's a strange one, been trying to capture it for years, and it seems a fascinating amalgam of musicians (though i have to say i'm a sucker for anything holger, with the possible exception of canaxis, didn't like it then, still don't.. although it was revolutionary, using field recordings, at the time), the album's name is rastakrautpasta, moebius, czukay and roedelius, i think, am sure you're familiar with it.. thing seems so damn hard to track down.. any chance?
