Death One of the best albums I've heard in the past 10 years. If you don't know about Death, I highly recommend the amazing documentary A Band Called Death. That is a kick ass record! |

Discovered this amazing album from 1979 recently. They're a German prog/krautrock band called Jane. That's pretty much all I know about them, but this album is quite good. Here's my favorite track:

That Jane track is pretty nice but it doesn't actually sound very proggy to me at all, in spite of the synth solo at the end.

 Before Glenn Hughes would play with Deep Purple he played in the band Trapeze along with Dave Holland and Mel Galley. Their second record Medusa remains one of their strongest. |

I was a big Deep Purple fan. Burn and Stormbringer, the first two albums with Hughes and Coverdale replacing Roger Glover and Ian Gillan, are among my favourites from the band.

I'm with you on this, berk. Listening to Burn and the self-titled track, I only wish more of the music community appreciated Ian Paice's drumming. He's a madman on that for 6 mintues non-stop. |

A little Soul For Sahib from Koop.
Has a little Jonny Quest vibe to the jazz.
Have a good Sunday everyone.

Went to Utrecht in the Netherlands for a weekend trip and bought some 70s and 80s soul albums on vinyl. I had to laugh at the horrible inner sleeve photo on the Eloise Laws (sister of Debra and Hubert Laws) album:  It's her O-face! |

I think the David Coverdale era of Deep Purple takes a lot of undeserved crap which is a shame because they were really doing some great stuff. Stormbringer is another classic from them. It reminds me a lot of the criticism that post Ozzy Black Sabbath eras get. I personally dig their post Ozzy stuff. The Tony Martin years produced some excellent music, the Dio years are among the best heavy metal records ever made and Born Again with Deep Purple's own Ian Gillan is one of the most evil sounding things Black Sabbath ever recorded. |

I must admit that I haven't listened to the post-Ozzy Sabbath, but not from any prejudice against those albums. I liked Dio's vocals with Rainbow and I'm a big fan of Gillan, so this is a good reminder that I should give those albums a listen. BTW, speaking of Deep Purple, I thought Roger Glover's solo album, The Mask, was really good, though totally different from Purple. |

That Jane track is pretty nice but it doesn't actually sound very proggy to me at all, in spite of the synth solo at the end. Their earlier stuff was a lot more progressive than this album. They kind of changed with the times, beginning with heavy prog stuff in the early 70's, to more modern rock in the late 70's to early 80's, and then into full on pop by the mid-80's. Here is "Daytime" from their first album and proggy period: And you already heard their rock period, so here is what they sounded like by 1986: It's a far cry from that first album, no doubt. |

Oh, and since Deep Purple has been mentioned...I always get a kick out of watching Hugh Hefner try his hand at guitar when they played on Playboy After Dark:

Some of Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi finest work comes from those years. From the Dio era I highly recommend both Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell. Forgot to mention that Glenn Hughes actually sings on a Black Sabbath record. From what I've read Seventh Star was actually intended to be a Tony Iommi solo record. The record label decided to use the Black Sabbath name on the album to sell more records despite Iommi being the only member of the band to appear on the record. All that said it's still a very enjoyable album. |
