I need to start looking for it

If you like Renaissance, you will love this record. It's a sleeper.

Good day for a bit of Space Rock Jim

Just been out in the garden Stargazing with the kids - Venus and Jupiter are clearly lit up in a totally cloudless sky tonight

Inspired I popped this on

Got to Looking at The Big Sky right now

I love Kate Bush but had forgotten how strong this album is

Might have to pop on Rainbow's Stargazer next

Hi Laura and other lovers of this particular genre,

There's been quite a bit of a resurgence in Female fronted Folk Rock here in the UK over recent years.

I've seen Mostly Autumn many times and always enjoyed their shows.
This vid of the slow burner, Evergreen will give you a flavour.

I’ve caught Welsh band Karnataka a few times too - A vid Here

These bands have had a fair old turn around of members but still worth catching if you can, they do tour abroad including the USA.

There's also a Karnataka splinter group Panic Room.

Might not be too many vinyl ops (I've tended to buy the CD's at the shows) but thought worth mentioning.

Cheers
Dave

Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso – Banco Orizzonte ORL 8216 Italy RE 1975

Excellent Italian Prog Rock

A very good compilation indeed.

Not nearly as good as the original releases the material is from, but a great introduction to one of the best prog bands ever, from any country.

I don't know what's in the water (or is it the wine?) in Italy, but they sure do produce some of the best keyboard players over there. The Nocenzi brothers from Banco are no exception to the very long list of Italian greats.

simoon, agreed ... i am still hunting down their 1st 3 lps - the keyboarding is exceptional on this one

Fancied a bit of Queen when I got home this evening, thought I'd go back to where it all started.

A heavy dose of the greatness to come

Thanks for the rec. Jim - New one to me, will keep my eyes peeled.

Re. Kate Bush - it's definitely worth following the journey to this point and beyond.
There's something special in all her albums, an amazing singer/songwriter/performer
