Very cool prog album of instrumental covers played in improvisational manner. It sounds like Deep Purple became organ-oriented. Lots of Hammond drive and fun.
Anjo Gabriel – O Culto Secreto Do Anjo Gabriel (2011)
“Angel Gabriel is commonly referred to in religious communities as a “divine messenger” or a “messenger of God.” Maybe the religious implications of this name were on the mind Anjo Gabriel when the South American’s first formed. Either way, you can not help feeling that this is used as a metaphor by the progressive jam band, as a way of transporting their psychedelic rock teachings to the rest of the world. The Brazilian’s krautrock-inspired sound, dilutes acid guitar swooshes, which are at times, incredibly chaotic, as they interweave through space and time. The self-proclaimed ‘psychedelic messengers’ of South American rock will spread their teachings far and wide.”
Orange Shading Starlight – Orange Shading Starlight (2007)
“ORANGE SHADING STARLIGHT, as the first WICKED MINDS’ official side project, shined on the Italian musical scene for a short period. The early members of WICKED MINDS – Lucio CALEGARI (guitar), Paolo Apollo NEGRI (synthesizers, keyboards), Enrico GARILLI (bass), and Andrea CONCAROTTI (drums) – showed free instrumental jam expression with deep, heavy psychedelia upon their eponymous album released via an Italian independent label W-Records in 2007.”
Sweet Smoke – Just A Poke (1970)
“Their music is one of the most loosely arranged happy-hippy-rock, very “jammy” as well as being very jazz-tinged also. Their average tune was 20 min long.”
Food Brain – Social Gathering (1970)
Social Gathering by Food Brain is a 1970 one-off jam record by a Japanese psych/prog “supergroup” consisting of guitarist Shinki Chen (Speed, Glue & Shinki), bassist Luis Kabe (The Golden Cups), organist Hiro Yanagida (Apryl Fool), and drummer Hiro Tsunada (Strawberry Path).”
Green Milk From the Planet Orange – City Calls Revolution (2005)
“Jam sessions musically oriented at playing progressive rock with the emphasis on psychedelic and space… GREEN MILK FROM THE PLANET ORANGE offers excellent space and heavy psychedelic rock and can be rated on the same level as other Japanese acts like ‘Acid Mothers Temple’ and ‘Flower Travelin’ Band’.”
