    Ah, great stuff. Think they started out as more of a mod psych group, they were called The Action back then, I think George Martin produced some of their stuff. As Mighty Baby I think they might have played with the Witchseason crew, John Martyn and Richard Thompson. There’s a great podcast interview with them, mostly covering The Action era but with some Mighty Baby.

    Here’s the podcast

    A minty copy of Steppenwolf 7 MCA Coral (1973) vinyl release out of the dollar bin.
    Sounds great. I can recommend the MCA Coral Steely Dan's as well.

    Dungen & Woods, Myths 003.

    Myths 003, by Dungen & Woods

    With 2018’s Marfa Myths festival slated to take place in the idyllic namesake backdrop of far West Texas, Mexican Summer once more reveals the fruits of the previous festival’s recording residency. For the third Marfa Myths release, we’re proud to present seven all-new songs written and recorded by Stockholm’s psychedelic masters Dungen and adventurous Brooklyn indie-folk pioneers Woods.

    As the Marfa Myths record series progresses, the spirit of the collaborations between the artists chosen – one a member of the Mexican Summer family, the other for which we share deep admiration – deepens as well. In the case of Dungen and Woods, the two bands were tourmates in the summer of 2009, traversing America and bonding with one another in the process. The familiarity with one another’s music and personalities was already well in place, but the eight years that passed between the tour and the making of this record reveal that nothing was lost in the interim.

    That this is the most music assembled for a Marfa Myths release to date is telling of a rare and special connection between Dungen and Woods, reignited by the circumstances of the occasion. Dungen’s Gustav Ejstes and Reine Fiske, and Woods’ Jeremy Earl and Jarvis Taveniere were provided the freedom to acclimate themselves to the unique frequencies of the Marfa experience without distraction. Marfa Myths 003 showcases a seamless merging of two bands following the same track to different locations throughout their career, as if they’d been playing together for decades, an exhilarating and buoyant example of how shared experiences can foster truly wonderful music.

    Listening to my 2015 Esoteric double disc...

    Any of you guys know this one? If you are a fan of latter-day (read mid 70's) prog you should check this one out. Airy vocals, focus on organs, guitars and mellotron. Somehow also brings to mind Danny Kirwan-era Fleetwood Mac, the Moody Blues etc...

    As with another obscure group, Tonton Macoute, you also get a lot of electric piano which is somehow not as popular within the genre.

    Remember hearing this a while back and not really feeling it. Somehow it annoyed me, don't know why. Had never heard it before, just bought it because I had heard the name mentioned now and again within the progressive genre. Second listen now and I am really enjoying it, especially the massive intro on Travelling. 1998 Repertoire CD.

    I finally picked up a copy of this on LP and it’s great. Michael Wagner, Bob Ezrin, Jack Douglas in 1972. That combination is a recipe for awesomeness.

    Just listened to Lucifer's Friend's 2nd album ...Where the Groupies Killed the Blues. A very strange listen... especially for those only familiar with their debut.
