Harmonia's Documents -1975 is so surprisingly essential. Blows me away every time.

Do love that heavy guitar Italian prog stuff Semiramis Dedicato a Frazz, Museo Rosenbach Zarathustra, Cervello Melos, Banco del Mutuo Succorso's first lp and the first 2 PFM are also great.
& Area are really something else too.

agree on all points, Osanna is dope as heck too

Disc 1 the more Rocksteady era. I think this may be one of the original Sanctuary Trojan run. I think all the recent reissues had black and white photo covers. Do love these Sanctuary 2cd sets though.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/9ddbc06ffb0d9aaa6d7b5500e009bc12/4869953
disc 1 the material from '69 and '70. Great Danish protoprog with jazzy flourishes

THat is to say, I think the Eccles which i picked up recently must date back to then. It was a new looking copy anyway.

Have you heard Cervello's album rushomancy? They'd fit pretty tidily on the that list there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RojkCiNw1u4

i can get the vibe but i'm hit or miss with flute and cervello have _four_ flautists? i don't know if it's necessarily clicking with me but i'll give it a bit more time.

Such an amazing song.

https://surachai.bandcamp.com/album/come-deathless (lot of this lately) ... tracks 2,3, +4 are monstrous
https://mudlogger.bandcamp.com/album/in-blue (just heard this today, gorgeous, old school synthesizer / live takes)

whoa, what's going on with the vocals on the eddie harris song? it's like exactly halfway between vocals and a muted/treated trumpet? i keep on secondguessing whether i'm hearing a voice or a horn!

I believe he's singing through his Varitone (electric effects unit and filters) saxophone

I love the effect of those Harris vocals! Adds to the odd, womb-like feel of the whole track.

Egyptian experimental bandleader/composer/musician Maurice Louca's new album with 12-piece ensemble is quite lovely.
