Psych /
Reaction
Originally released in 1972 on Polydor, Reaction is a raw, high-voltage blast of Hard Rock, Blues Rock, and Heavy Psych from Hamburg’s loudest and most electrifying trio.Forged in post-’60s Germany and driven by Peter Braun’s searing guitar work and vision, this overlooked gem finally gets the recognition it deserves. Reissued by Yunque Records, the album delivers a tightly wound, riff-heavy assault that hits hard from the first note to the last—no filler, no compromise. Reaction made a name for…
Música Urbana
Música Urbana was a short-lived Spanish jazz‑rock band formed in Barcelona in the mid-70s by composer and multi-instrumentalist Joan Albert Amargós. Their aim was to forge a distinctly Catalan progressive-rock identity—rooted in Mediterranean and Andalusian traditions rather than Anglophone influences. The band assembled top-tier musicians (Lucky Guri, Carles Benavent, Salvador Font, Luigi Cabanach…) piece by piece, ultimately becoming a sort of local supergroup. Their sound blended jazz‑rock, t…

What NGC 4594 Really Means!

Tetsu

In The Wake Of Poseidon
King Crimson opened 1970 scarcely in existence as a band, having lost two key members (Ian McDonald and Michael Giles), with a third (Greg Lake) about to leave. Their second album -- largely composed of Robert Fripp's songwriting and material salvaged from their stage repertory ("Pictures of a City" and "The Devil's Triangle") -- is actually better produced and better sounding than their first. Surprisingly, Fripp's guitar is not the dominant instrument here: The Mellotron, taken over by Fripp a…
