Madredeus - 1997 O Paraiso (World Ethnik Trad.Music Portugal)

''this wil be a gift for this summer holidays ''
The band's founding members were Pedro Ayres Magalhães (Classical guitar), Rodrigo Leão (keyboard synthesizer), Francisco Ribeiro (cello), Gabriel Gomes (accordion) and Teresa Salgueiro (vocals). Magalhães and Leão formed the band in 1985, Ribeiro and Gomes joined in 1986. They'd been searching for a female singer, and found Teresa Salgueiro in one of Lisbon's night clubs. Teresa liked their music and agreed to join, so in 1987 Madredeus recorded their first album, Os dias da Madredeus.

The Portuguese group Madredeus comprises vocalist Teresa Salgueiro, guitarists Jose Peixoto and Pedro Ayres Magalhaes, violin player Francisco Ribeiro, harmonica player Gabriel Gomes, and keyboard player Rodrigo Leao. Influenced by the music of Lisbon, the band travelled throughout Europe and became especially popular in Belgium. Madredeus' debut album Os Dias da Madredeus was released in 1987 followed three years later by Existir and Lisboa Live in 1992 on Blue Note; the group also appeared in the 1994 Wim Wenders film Lisbon Story (Viagem A Lisboa), in which Ayres Magalhaes and Salgueiro played quite prominent roles. In 1995, two albums followed, Ainda and O Espiritu Da Paz. Other releases include 1999's O Porto. Antologia followed a year later. Movimento, which was issued in summer 2001. Madredeus' musical machine continued into the next year; he switched up his inviting nature for the eclectic electronic remix effort Electronico in summer 2002. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

Shirley and Dolly Collins - Adieu To Old England (UK Trad. Folk 1974)

"Shirley Collins is without doubt one of England's greatest cultural treasures"-Billy Bragg

albums. Their style may be a bit dry and rarified for the casual folk fan, but if you're on their wavelength, there's nothing else like it.

Topic Records 12TS238 (LP, UK, 1974) (only track 1-14)

One of the starker and more hyper-traditional folk revival acts, sisters Shirley and Dolly Collins greatly widened the Brit-folk repertoire with their tireless resarch and the inventive arrangements of their odd, otherworldly Review Originally released in 1974, this album continues Shirley Collins' exploration not only of traditional English folk songs, but also English tradition itself, whether on "Coronation Jig," written for the return of King Charles II in 1660, or "Portsmouth," taken from Playford's ancient book, The Dancing Master. While her focus, given her own history there, is on the music and songs of southern England, she does venture further north for a stirring "Horkstow Grange," a song reported to have been written by the name who gave Steeleye Span their name. Some of the arrangements, by sister Dolly Collins, evoke the medieval origins of these songs, while others bring to life the rural past of tales like "Chiner's Song." But Collins is far more than a dry scholar. She loves this music. It's in her blood, and she understands it innately, which is why her performances are so memorable. Her voice might be untrained, and often artless, but she stirs on a rendition of "The Ram of Derbish Town" in a way no "real" singer could. From Morris Men and Mummer's plays, this is a celebration of the real old England, the laborers who preserved the songs of the past, handed down in their families, and who commemorated festivals like Harvest Home, long since lost to urban societies. So, in part, this is a history lesson, but it's also pure pleasure of the past, brought fully alive in the modern days. And to round it all off, a 1972 track -- with electric guitar -- brings old folk into modern folk-rock quite perfectly. ~ Chris Nickson, All Music Guide

Ame Son -1970 Primitive Expression Psych Avant Jazz France

This second effort by the legendary French prog band Ame Son gathers archival material from different periods of the band's existence. One piece, "Sweet Georgia," even dates back to the mid-'60s pre-Ame Son group, the Primitivs, and with its conventional British rock sound is the weakest track on the album. The rest is quite excellent, from catchy but loopy "Le Grand Cirque de la Lune" from 1969 (pre-Catalyse) to the live "Le Dedale" from 1976, where Jacques Dudon's open-tuned lead guitar lends an exotic oriental sound. The real stunner is a six-part instrumental version of "Je Veus Juste Dit" (or "I Just Want to Say") stretched out to a 26-minute space jam. The melody, more relaxed than the earlier versions, becomes less and less recognizable as each section progresses deeper into the cosmos, the closest they come to the freak-out free form of Catalyse.

Spectator Records - Foreningen til Livets beskyttelse

From the ancient rock-years in Denmark. Den Lille Prins (Le Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery 1943) and Foreningen Til Livets Beskyttelse (The Society To Protection Of Life) was situated in a community outside Aalborg in Jutland Denmark around 1970 - 1972. This is more or less the same story as Furekaaben from Copenhagen: People are living together in a community, some of them are musicians, and.. wow, you have a band! Just the girl Susanne Hamilton is from Copenhagen, and she was presentet to the group via the "producer" from ancient rec. label Spectator. No wonder that the two LPs Den Lille Prins and Foreningen Til Livets Beskyttelse sounds like something between Furekaaben and Skousen/Ingemann. That means rock based on folk. Instruments are: Acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, violin, saxophone, jewharp, mandolin and lotsa vocal. Lyrics are naive-but-with-a-big-warm-heart as they came those days, and this was not bad at all. The atmosphere is so groowy and friedley as you can think of. Those days were really something. These two LPs on one CD tells us something about why the early hippie-rock-days were so good. (shinybeast)

ALBUM:1(A) DREAM SEQUENCE (Regal Zonophone SLRZ 1030) 1972 R3

This instrumental album has only one track, spread over two sides. It attempts a metamorphosis and blending of different atmospheres into a "sequence" of musical images. There is some bebop jazz, some Indian music augmented with electric guitar and some which is totally unclassifiable. Although quite pretentious by its very nature the album has its moments, but on the whole suffers from a shortage of good ideas. Some of it could easily pass for New Age music. Rather half-baked.

Recorded at Landsdowne Studios, London Engineered by Peter Gallen.
Produced by Denis Preston. 1972, Regal Zonaphone, EMI. SLRZ 1030

(Music conceived by Amancio D’silva)With John Mayor (of Indo Jazz Fusions) , Alan Branscombe, Kashev Sathe and others
This record, highly collectable, has been called everything from Trans-Psyche to progressive rock - meets - Indo Jazz (that owing to the line-up perhaps, which includes Indo-Jazz giant John Mayer and at the other end of the spectrum a fairly rock sounding bass and drum section). It kind of plays as a single piece almost, one theme blending into the next. It's ethereal yet striking. Distant chimes meld with tabla breaks and elegant and pure toned guitar.
This album may see a re-release fairly soon also. A poor quality pirate re-issue has appeared on several U.S. & Japanese online stores on a label called Silva Star (we are aware of the culprits), copied from an LP and out of pitch. Best to wait for the real thing.

( Silva Star / UK ) This instrumental album was jazz heavyweight John Mayer's foray into progressive rock and has only one track, spread over two sides. It attempts a metamorphosis and blending of different atmospheres into a sequence of musical styles. There is some bebob jazz, some Indian music augmented with electric guitar and sitar, some which could easily pass for New Age music. Originally release on the UK Regal Zonophone label in 1972 and hard to find album
