Procol Harum – Discography (1967-2018)

Procol Harum - Discography (1967-2018)

British rock group Procol Harum began life as a psychedelic band and evolved into one of the leading acts in art rock and prog rock, all without changing much about their essential approach. Lead singer and pianist Gary Brooker gave the group their trademark sound with his downbeat vocals and lush melodies, while primary lyricist Keith Reid added words that often pondered the unpredictability of fate in songs like “A Whiter Shade of Pale,” “A Salty Dog,” and “Conquistador.” Continue reading “Procol Harum – Discography (1967-2018)”

Gentle Giant - In'terview (1976) [2023, Remixed, Blu-ray + Hi-Res]

“Interview” was the eighth studio album of Gentle Giant and was released April 23rd, 1976. Stylistically it continued in the vein of their preceding album, “Free Hand” released the year before. “Interview” further displayed the eclectic and versatile nature of the band, from reggae influenced grooves to ethereal a cappella vocal passages and furiously complex rockers. Award winning producer and musician Steven Wilson has remixed “Interview” in Dolby Atmos and 5. 1 surround sound. Wilsons attention to detail and deep respect for the source material makes the album sound as fresh today as it did on first release. In addition, the original flat mix, original 1976 quad mix and an instrumental mix. Continue reading “Gentle Giant – In’terview (1976) [2023, Remixed, Blu-ray + Hi-Res]”

By 1993, alternative rock had arrived in a big way, and surprisingly, Canadian veterans Rush were game, releasing their most honest and organic rock & roll record in over a decade with Counterparts. Opener “Animate” is straightforward enough, but doesn’t even hint at the guitar ferocity and lyrical angst of “Stick it Out,” Continue reading “Rush – Counterparts (1993) [2013, Audio Fidelity Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Rush began life as a power trio in the Led Zeppelin/heavy rock mode. Over the years the band refined their musical vision as they gained both instrumental and conceptual facility. 1978’s HEMISPHERES marks their transition from heavy riff-mongers to full blown art-rockers.

On the heels of the “Jesus Christ the Exorcist” Rock Opera, Neal Morse has created his latest prog epic, entitled “The Dreamer – Joseph: Part One”. The album tells the classic story of Joseph (the one with the coat of many colors!) using the medium of progressive rock as only Neal can! The story unfolds with Morse employing amazing vocalists like Ted Leonard (Spock’s Beard, Pattern Seeking Animals), Matt Smith (Theocracy) and Jake Livgren (Proto-kaw, Kansas) to sing the roles of Joseph’s brothers, as they grow dark with jealousy and throw him in the pit.

Steamhammer – Speech (1972) [2010, Japan, Remastered]

Steamhammer - Speech (1972) [2010, Japan, Remastered]

Musically, Steamhammer was the cream of the crop of all rock bands from their thriving primordial era. In the realm of power rock trios, they were comparable to Cream. Yet this band is far superior in every way, but they failed to get the rave reviews and critical attention that the flashier Cream garnered.

Steamhammer – Mountains (1970) [2010, Japan, Remastered]

Steamhammer - Mountains (1970) [2010, Japan, Remastered]

Starting out as an electric blues group in the ’60s, Steamhammer transformed into a hard progressive rock group on this 1970 album. A highly collectable album in the British prog scene, the guitarists of this group — Martin Pugh and Martin Quittenton — were both, in fact, hardworking session musicians who made their names co-writing “Maggie May” with Rod Stewart for Stewart’s debut solo album. Although throughout they maintain their electric blues roots, this album is a fairly awkward and mediocre transition period for the group. However, hardcore collectors of progressive rock will find much to delight in. Continue reading “Steamhammer – Mountains (1970) [2010, Japan, Remastered]”

Steamhammer - Reflection (1969 [2010, Japan, Remastered]

King’s “You’ll Never Know,” in fact, is covered here, though most of the material was penned by the band. Continue reading “Steamhammer – Reflection (1969 [2010, Japan, Remastered]”
