| 1 | Murply Blend | Use Your Feet | First Loss | 1970 | Kuckuck |
| Nice bluesy hard-rock progressive with swirling hammond organ and great guitar playing. I love the rich sound of the keys exemplified on this album and others of the early 70's. It's very soothing and cathartic. | |||||
| 2 | Mythos | Encyclopedia Terra Part 2 | Mythos | 1971 | Spalax |
| A nice cosmic krautrock offering. It reminds me somewhat of early Jade Warrior in the guitar style, flute and the use of some eastern influences in the music. Good atmospheric psychedelic/space-rock/progressive. | |||||
| 3 | Out of Focus | See how a white Negro flies | Wake Up | 1970 | Kuckuck |
| This is Out of Focus' first of 3 great albums mixing hard-rock progressive with psychedelia and jazz. The vocalist reminds me of Steve Hillage. Great fuzz guitar sound, hammond organ and flute meld together very nicely. All Out of Focus albums are worth checking out. | |||||
| 4 | Kalacakra | Raga N. 11 | Crawling to Lhasa | 1975 | Lost Pipe Dreams |
| An interesting folk/psychedelic/ethinic/progressive album. Comparable to Third Ear Band, Tea & Symphony, Algarnas Tradgard, and Yatha Sidhra. Just 2 guys recording in a studio multi tracking guitars, flute, piano, cello, violin, synth, and percussion. A meditative and reflective piece of music. | |||||
| 5 | Eloy | Voice of Revolution | Eloy | 1971 | Philips |
| Eloy's first is harder and heavier than their later more symphonic works. More emphasis on guitar ala Deep Purple. Their are hints of Pink Floyd influence, which became much more apparent later, but there seems to be an even more dominant Jethro Tull influence, especially in the vocal style. Decent, but, not an essential piece of the Eloy discography. | |||||
| 6 | Ikarus | Mesentery | Ikarus | 1971 | Second Battle |
| Great inventive progressive with tinges of jazz influence. Comparable to Eiliff with it's refined and complex compositions. The guitarist Jochen Petersen became a producer for the Brain label in Germany. One of the best re-issues on the Second Battle label. Highly recommended. | |||||
