“The Troyes exploded onto the music scene with 'Rainbow Chaser' a regional smash hit that climbed to number 3 on the top 40 in September of 1966. Sensing a new phenomenon, famed bandleader Ray Anthony (who already had smash hits with 'Dragnet' and 'Peter Gunn') signed the group to his new rock label Space Records. His faith in the band was so big that nearly two albums worth of material were recorded at United Sound (Detroit) in 1966 and 1967. Unfortunately, only two singles were issued and the rest of...

This is really good, hard rock with proggy moves in good sound. Conditionally recommended!

"Double album’s worth of recently unearthed, all previously unreleased live recordings from 1974 by legendary Midwestern underground hard rock trio Truth & Janey, captured stretching out on extended jam sessions over several nights in Topeka, Kansas. Celebrated Iowa hard rock trio Truth & Janey are captured here doing what they did best, stretching out into raw extended jams featuring heavy guitar action...

I was lucky enough to see these folks at ProgDay 2023 and they were really great. As a friend who also saw them there said, “It’s a ProjeKct band without using that name”, and I firmly agree. Fans of KC, Yang, Stick Men, etc will enjoy this!

“Saadet Türköz's Influences spread far and wide. Born in 1961, the singer grew up on the Bosporus where Europe and Asia meet. Her ancestors were nomads who migrated from Semey to Kazakhstan to East Turkestan from where they fled via India and Pakistan to Istanbul. But Istanbul, international city, modern metropolis and history-laden cultural crucible, is not the only place to be influenced.
In her...

Where did rock 'n' roll exactly begin? No one can definitively say, but certainly the proto rock/R&B tracks collected here have as much right to claim being the beginning as anything out there! Joe and band rock 'n' stomp 'n' burn!...

"The return of the thunder rider! Hawkwind co-founder Nik Turner teleports back to Earth for this album featuring guest appearances by Hawkwind alumni! Includes the emotional single "End Of The World" with former Hawkwind/Pink Fairies member Paul Rudolph, the spacey "Why Are You?" and other tracks that feature powerhouse violinst Simon House (Hawkwind/David Bowie/Third Ear Band). Turner plays saxophones, flute, sings and is a composer. While with Hawkwind, Turner was known for his experimental free jazz...

Turning Point was the mid /late 70s band led by bassist Jeff Clyne, formed after he and keyboardist Brian Miller left Isotope after Isotope's first album (incidently, Brian had written ALL the material for that first Isotope album!). Adding vocalist Pepi Lemer, saxist Dave Tidball (saxes) and Paul Robinson (drums), they came up with their own jazz-rock sound and created two albums which are reissued here for the very first time and it's nice to such fusion obscurities once again visible and done so well!...

Stanley Turrentine-tenor sax
Horace Parlan-piano
George Tucker-bass

“A whole batch of reviews ranging from enthusiastic to ecstatic, and I agree with virtually every word of them. Turrentine was an absolute master of his horn, with a blues feeling inherent, and absolutely natural, in everything he played. A most beautiful ballad player and a man capable of playing at length without ever flagging or becoming boring, he had a rich, full tone and a natural swing. In..

"Curiously, the Norwegian prog-folkies’ fifth album – their “first for (and with) children”– comes recommended to fans of Van der Graaf and Crimson, so it’s something of a shock to encounter a set of proglite Euro-ditties featuring an Oslo school kiddie choir. The title means Urban Wildlife but the three men dressed in squirrel, badger and crow outfits on the cover should’ve warned something gruesome was afoot. The band say the (Norwegian-sung) lyrics for the two school musicals here are attacking the...

This group emerged from Norway a couple of years ago with their first album, Underjordisk Tusmørke, which got a lot of enjoyment here and also with the public.

“Sympathy for the Beast, the new album by Twink and the Technicolour Dream, is based on the wonderfully imaginative poetical works of Aleister Crowley, whose natural and intrinsic musical quality Twink and the Technicolour Dream have tried to intensify with their psychedelic musical drive, using sections of the original poems as lyrics for their songs or narrations for their musical backgrounds.
Jon Povey has given a significant...

Like the similarly obscure Sixty-Nine, Twogether were a keyboards/drums duo. This 1973 release is incredibly rare, basically unknown private pressing. Yet, as always, not only did Garden of Delights reissue this, but they include their non lp single. This is the complete recorded works by this band.

"The sound is astonishly dense and atmospheric thanks to the synthesizer they used. Well done and highly recommended."
