PADDY GLACKIN/JOLYON JACKSON." HIDDEN GROUND".(1980 ,Ireland,traditional instrumental music )

 Jolyon Jackson was a keyboard player and former member of Supply,Demand & Curve .
I posted their sole album here ,and after disbanded, he released this collaborated album in 1980.
He played almost all of the instruments except fiddle (=traditional folky violin) by  Paddy Glackin.
It is an excellent instrumental Irish trad & folk music album.

info

I got a following message from official GOTIC website these days .

It says.....
The “Gegants i serpentines” record is a digitalized, cleaned, polished and remastered version of the 1978 original master tapes, revised, remastered and approved by us!!

 Maqueta  is an Unathorized “pirate” version, of poor quality as it was recorded from a “cassette”. 

Album streaming here.

Supply, Demand & Curve (1976 ,Ireland ,Canterbury style )

Reminds me of Caravan ....Hatfield and the North .....National Health .......and sometimes Gentle Giant .......
I got crappy mp3 files one day ,and was surprised to know that it was one of Canterbury-type  masterpieces ....
I purchased the vinyl at once to show better ripping here .
You should use your headphone or earphone to enjoy this tricky album.

Recorded time is quite different from the printed one (A-1 & A-2 )

They released 3 cassettes before they released 1st album "L'alchimista" (1990) at a Japanese label.
Thier 1st cassette was released in 1985 ,and after the release, 2 cassettes were followed..."L'alchimista"(half of the tracks were studio recording and the rest were live recording ) and "Romeo & Juliet"  (OST for  the theater play )

Beirão E Os Filhos de Dona Nereide - "Natural do Ceará e radicado em Brasília, o músico compositor Beirão vai do forró ao frevo, passando pelo xote, baião, coco, maracatu, ciranda, carimbo e rock, com letras que falam sobre globalização e tecnologia com conotação social. Conhecido por combinar várias vertentes musicais para produzir novas sonoridades, Beirão valoriza a cultura brasileira dando um toque tecnológico e atual para a música popular nordestina. O novo CD lançado em 2014 “Pop Star do Sertão”, assim como tudo o que vem realizando, é uma aproximação entre o tradicional e o moderno. É influenciado por artistas como Luiz Gonzaga, Jackson do Pandeiro, João Gilberto, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé, Alceu Valença, Zé do Norte, Gordurinha, repentistas, emboladores de coco, bandas de pífanos e pela musica universal. Cantor desde 1978, o “forroqueiro” já realizou turês no Brasil e na Europa e se apresentou em grandes projetos musicais ao lado de artistas como Cássia Eller, Capital Inicial, Renato Russo, Zé Ramalho, Alceu Valença, Gilberto Gil, entre outros.

DISH// (Japan ,2015 ,male dance pop group )

Hi,friends  .
DISH// is a Japanese dance pop group (4 boys )

Watch the following PV by DISH//

They released their 1st album "Main Dish " including 14 track, on January 14th this year ,most of the tracks are excellent dance pop tunes ,but ... among them ,
a very unique track is included .....I 'm so interested who loves Queen and why he or she wanted them to  play Queen-style..... .lol

The meaning of the lyric is sung about ...never giving up and trying to do your best with your hungry heart! ...Yep,so positive lyric.

I uploaded the  track only here  (mp3 )....the name of the track is "Hungry  Rhapsodies "(Tr8)   
Try it please .
You will be able to enjoy as a prog track ,too.

Hungry Rhapsodies

Mike Oldfield "Platinum"(1979,UK)

RYM

If  you don't like "Platinum " by Mike Oldfield ,listen to this album uploaded by me.

I hope to change your wrong opinions .

It is an real original album (30000 pressed as the 1st edition )

 I really hope that "Platinum 1st edition "will be one of your favorite albums .

Mike Oldfield was one of the greatest prog pioneers all over the world .

This "Platinum 1st edition "also proves that he is a marvelous prog artist .

To let you know about this album,I included some pages abstract from "A Man And His Music" in the file

This is the 2nd edition "Platinum" (not included "Sally")

Gandalf & Galadriel "The Shining " (Austria ,1986 ,sympho, healing )

One day ,I read a review about this album ,and found  it  was a mud one .

To be completely honest , "The Shining" is the most exciting album for me among Gandalf's a lot of albums.( I bought CDs and listened almost all his albums so far )

So when it was released as CD in 1989 ,I sold my vinyl at a used record shop and purchased the CD very soon.

But unfortunately ,the CD didn't catch my heart again .

Why ?

The answer is in the 2 albums .

So I hope you will savor  both of them ....vinyl version and CD version ....

I believe that vinyl version is much better......

And the album always makes my heart  happier ......
