PAISLEY PRESS ************* Distr. : NE - Shiny Beast/Clear Spot/ Style : reissue - jazz fusion / psychedelic / prog rock / blues rock / folk / psych. funk / PP 101 ABRAXIS ABRAXIS CD 10.2015 Originally released in 1977, now reissued on CD. Abraxis was a jazz/fusion band from Brussels. The music on the band's s/t album is an enjoyable mixture of flute dominated jazz, Canterbury inspired fusion and '70s funk. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PP 102 BIG SET IT WASN'T MEANT TO HAPPEN CD 10.2015 Swirling, Hammond organ-heavy progressive spaceiness from Sweden, originally issued in 1969 on the Toniton label. The bandname refers to leader Bjorn Ingvar Bjornsson's initials. This was the group's sole release, but its reputation has only grown over the years and it is now one of the rarest and most sought-after Swedish psych-prog albums ever. It's also damn good, which doesn't hurt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PP 103 WOMEGA A QUICK STEP CD 10.2015 Orig. released in 1975, now on CD. This is the debut-album by a Belgian progressive rock act. Influences include the Canterbury scene and Zappa, and mellotron and flute are among the instruments. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PP 104 AIRLORD CLOCKWORK REVENGE CD 10.2015 Originally released in 1975 and here on CD, this a progressive rock album by a 5-piece band from Wilmington, New Zealand! For Genesis-fans who don't mind some hard-rock touches either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PP 105 LIGHT LIGHT CD 10.2015 Originally released in 1978. An Irish band from the late 70's. The vocals on this s/t album remind of Rory Gallagher and the songs have a Thin Lizzy-ish quality with some nice dual harmony guitars. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PP 106 BOTH HANDS FREE BOTH HANDS FREE CD 10.2015 Originally released in 1976, this album was recorded by a UK jazz fusion combo with a style reminding of mid-period Nucleus or the Scottish band Head. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PP 107 CARGO SIMPLE THINGS CD 10.2015 1 Initial Mailing 4:16 2 Geordy 3:00 3 Serenade To A Cuckoo 4:56 4 The Old Woman 2:04 5 Simple Things 2:50 6 Calvin Fell Out 1:58 7 Rural Route 1 3:02 8 Pachyderm (In Your Head) 7:06 Originally released in 1970, here on CD.
