PS: Les Humpries Singers were the subject of the 6 January 2010 post on this blog from my friend Abominog Jnr (Les Humpries Singers- Hit collection). Only three or four songs are the same in this and that post, so here there are a good number of tracks new for the Blog.

PS2: My post of David Byron's Lost songs Vol. 1 is now very near to 200 downloads. I'm very happy that so many people want to hear those rare pre Heep songs... But 200 downloads and only 3 comments? I think that the good thing in sharing music in this way is also enter in touch with people with the same passions of bloggers and to share opinions with them so, people, comment please...

Teaser

One of the albums I have been after for quite some time, I now have (I hope). It should be winging it's way to me as I write this, and as soon as i get it  I will share it with you all . The album in question has a definite Heep connection, yet to my knowledge cannot be found on the net and has never been released on CD (not officially anyway)
Think Abominog!!

Italian prog masterworks 4- New Trolls "Searching for a land"

NEW TROLLS - SEARCHING FOR A LAND







NEW TROLLS are:


Vittorio De Scalzi- Guitars, flute, keyboards (Arp 2600) and vocals

Nico Di Palo- Guitars and lead vocals

Frank Laugelli- Bass guitar

Maurizio Salvi- Keyboards (Hammond), piano, synt

Gianni Belleno- Drums and percussions







This is a little "guinness record" album: it is the first italian double album, with first disc in studio and the second live (for much time people knows that this is the first live album of an italian band, but in reality the public rumors are not real but it's a studio effect, so this second disc is not really a live record). Even if this upload is from a cd version that encludes two albums, i prefer restore the original form of two discs, because they are very different: the first is one of better exemples of italian prog rock (Songs from 1 to 7) and the second is a great hard rock album, with hard Purple influences (Songs from 8 to 11).
This album was realised by label Fonit Cetra for the international market, so it is completely sung in English. So, this time, prog italian with lyrics that all can understand...

Even if all the album is very good, for me the best song is "A land to live, a land to die", with great keyboards and vocals work.





PS: As the other times, i have all discography of New Trolls and related (Ibis, NTAS, Tritons and others). If you like this and you would like to listen some other works by New Trolls, the only thing to make is to go to comments and write something about...
Enjoy

Virus were a psychedelic band from Biefeld in northern Germany.
They released only twhose two albums: "Revelation" at beginning of 1971 and "Thoughts" later in same year. The first is more oriented to space rock and is quite inventive; the second presents a different approach, because is more oriented to hard rock- blues rock.
The only members present in all and two albums are Jorg-Dieter Krahe on keyboards and Wolfgang Rieke on drums

VIRUS- Revelation
01- Revelation
02- Endless game
03- Burning candle
04- Hungry looser
05- Nur noch zwei lichtjahre
06- Confession (Bonus track from first Virus 7")
07- Facts of death (Bonus track from first Virus 7")


VIRUS- Thoughts
01- King heroin
02- Manking, where do you go
03-Theme
04- Old time movie
05- Butterflies
06- Take your thoughts
07- Sittin and smoking
08- Going on
09- Deeds of the past
10- My strand-eyed girl
Some kraut rock, with a little Heep connection: those two albums are the other 1971 works of band "Virus", whose members were involved, with Ken Hensley, in the Hamburg sessions that end in the album "Weed".
PS: i have also the 1973 live album of Virus, Remember live, issued in 2004. If someone is interested in it, comment please...

Uriah Heep - Live In Turin 1980 (With John Sloman)


This bootleg comes from the Conquest Tour recorded live at Palasport,Turin, Italy
23. May 1980 with John Sloman on vocals

A decent enough audience recording I have also included two bonus tracks Namely Easy Livin' and Suicidal Man that were also recorded in 1980 at an unknown venue(unknown to me anyway perhaps someone out there in blog-land knows). These two tracks are of a much superior quality, I believe a live album was recorded by Heep with Sloman so perhaps  they have come from those recordings
