Whats on your turntable tonight?

Dust
Hard Attack

Nolan Potter
Nightmare Forever

Notwithstanding the gimmicky spooky theatrical packaging this is pretty nice sounding and certainly interesting stuff to an old guy like me.


“Austin Texan Nolan Potter and his Nightmare Band release Nightmare Forever this week on the mighty Castle Face label. Swirls of bluesy psych and a healthy dose of post D&D flute-rock that is positively soaked in analogue production. It all sounds rather like a long-lost private press from the early Seventies. We are feeling it.”

This music fits in with the old Vangelis, Robert Calvert, Starcastle and Rick Wakemans solo albums. They take you on a journey and let you drift off into another realm. The precursor to this music had band light Birth Control, Babe Ruth, Frumpy and Epitaph all doing the electronic, blues space rock which was heavily influenced by the Kraut rock explosion of the early 70's

Spiritofradio - I appreciate the new albums that you have introduced me to. When I was younger I never listened to a lot of the popular sounds that were on the radio. Myself and my friends were heavily into the British and German underground music movement. The more modern Pink Faires, Camel, Granicus, Bang, Dust and Tempest were more of the widely known music in our time.

Have you ever listened to Strider 1st album or their 2nd album Misunderstood ? If not give them a listen, I think that you will like them.

Two other albums that If you haven't heard is Universe S/T 1971 and Noel Reddings band Road 1st and only album. It was a concept album that was definitely ahead of its time but still sounds good today.
