UPDATE

***********************************************

DEAR FRIENDS, AFTER RECEIVING FIVE NOTIFICATIONS FROM DMCA, I HAVE DECIDED TO CLOSE MY BLOGS, SO ALL THIS SHARING-LINK ACTIVITY IS FINISHED. YOU CAN READ THE COMPLETE TEXT I POSTED ON MY PILOT BLOG - - > HERE

FOR THE MANY MANY PEOPLE WHO KEEP ASKING FOR RECORDS: I'M SORRY, I CAN'T FULFIL THEIR REQUESTS, IT ALL CAME TO A POINT THAT'S 'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME. I HAD TO REMOVE THE 97% OF THE ALBUMS I HAD POSTED ON THE SERVERS. The few exceptions are: the bootlegs and the few studio albums authorized directly by the copyright owners.


FOR ALL THE OTHERS, Cyrus (who wants to buy some of my vynil records), Maxoom, Caroalt, Jiro, Trolley Dolly, Phil (who wants my copies of the COB albums), Marnie (who wants my copy of the original "Ptooff"), XJ64, Antiamnbient, Arman, Nicolas, Rick, etc etc , please WRITE ME AGAIN WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, AND I WILL ANSWER YOU, OKAY?

LAST: I RE-UPPED THE FOREST'S LIVE ALBUM FOR THREE PEOPLE WHO ASKED FOR IT, SO IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.

No pretention of completeness in mind, this blog sees the light with the idea of filling a good number of gaps here and there where I notice that certain music that I particularly like is missing in other blogs. Therefore I will abstain from posting albums that are present elsewhere, except only the cases where I am reported of dirty record scans, incomplete reissues, remixed versions, etc. Other exceptions are cases in which I can offer higher bitrate scans, or also when posting a title is necessary for the completeness of a thread or a discography.

SOFTBALL - Lamp (Cutting Edge, 2002 - Japan)

I've been 6 or 7 times in Japan and I once saw on TV an extremely powerful rock trio, filmed alive in concert, three young girls as angry as tigers, with very good mastery of the instruments, especially the drummer.  I right away searched for their CDs on sale at the time and I found this. I have few infos about this all-girl group, but more of them will come.
Not progressive at all, actually for post-punk-rock lovers, but a hard2find item, so enjoy :-)
"Unpleasant" is a great item!

SPIROGYRA - Swan Songs (private Label, recorded 1969-1974, CD only)


An album with some live recordings, many unissued songs which never saw the light on any officially published album. Fresh sound of those glorious years, although the sound quality is not always first class. The CD includes also a few demo version of songs recorded in 1969 and appeared later in 1971, in their definitive forms on "St. Radigunds", the first masterpiece of this incredible group.
This group, which was so ahead of its times in the early 70's, hasn't yet stopped amazing people, and unfortunately still today results somehow "cryptic" to a large slice of music aficionados... Incomprehension seems to be the destiny of a genius... And Martin Cockerham proved to be of them.
