Welcome to AnalogFlux, the podcast that explores Progressive Rock, Kroutrock and Avant Garde music from the 60s and 70s.
This volume's theme is "The Epic Late 60s.” We explore the roots of an era, a place where the words 'anything goes' became the status quo, where Flute Solos and percussion jams ruled the day, and where artists strove to elevate Rock Music from conventional forms to new heights of style, aesthetic, and imagination.
Vangelis is most famous for scoring "Chariots of Fire" and "Blade Runner." In 1968, however, Evangelio Odyssey Papathanassiou was a member of "Aphrodite's Child," joined by Demis Roussos on Bass and Loukas Sideras on drums. Here they perform the epic "The Grass is No Green," from 1968 album “End of the World
.”
Next up, we feature UKs Arzachel, featuring a 17-year-old Steve Hillage on vocals and guitar, joined by Dave Stewart (organ), Clive Brooks (Drums) and Mont Campbell (Bass and vocals). Here they perform the song "Metempsychosis" from their 1969 self-titled release
, considered to be a classic of psychedelic proportions.
Then we power up the Van Der Graff Generator, Progressive Rock band from Manchester. The song "Octopus," from 1969's The Aerosol Grey Machine
, redefines eclectic rock with its legendary, zany organ riffs. Van Der Graff Generator continues to this day.
The fourth song in our journey takes us to The Flock, a brassy, jazzy Chicago band featuring Jerry Goodman on violin. After The Flock He would later move onto Mahavishnu Orchestra to expand his unmistakable sound alongside two of Jazz Rock's most talented performers, John McLaughlin and Billy Cobham. Here The Flock performs "Truth" from their 1969 self-titled debut
.
Next, Missus Beastly, one of the earliest Jazz-Rock bands in Germany, assaults us with "Mean Woman," from their self-titled 1969 debut
, followed by Hungarian band Omega and their powerful jam "Kergeskezu Favagok" from 1969 album Ten Thousand Lepes
. Omega, by the way, is still performing today, with a history of 40 years making great music.
Song number seven is "Iceberg" by English band Rare Bird, from their 1969 self-titled debut
. Rare Bird is notable for their use of two keyboard players, and for their haunting tones and melodies.
Then we visit English band Spooky Tooth, performing "Tobacco Road" from 1968 album "It's All About
." Spooky Tooth is one of the few artists of their time to adopt the two-keyboard approach (as did Rare Bird).
Next up, Black Widow, performing "Sacrifice" from their occult-flavored 1969 album "Return To The Sabbat
."
And finally, we visit the band Colosseum, performing the song "Debut" from 1969 album "Those Who Are About To Die Salute You.”
