PROGRESIVO SIGLO XXI-22: Obiymy Doschu (Ucrania)
No sabría pronunciarlo. Cualquier idioma del este sea ucraniano, polaco ruso, esloveno etc son excesivamente complicados para nosotros. En lo personal siempre me ha interesado la música eslava. Principalmente clásica naturalmente. Lo que llamamos “música moderna” es un concepto occidental que incluso estaba prohibido en los años oscuros del telón de acero y es una verdadera pena. Recuerdo en mis años jóvenes que escuchaba día sí y al otro también el Cuadros para una exposición de ELP recién editado y creía inocentemente e inconscientemente que probablemente habría bandas de rock sinfónico en la unión soviética que no se conocían en Europa. Una estupidez por mi parte llevada por el idealismo. Me costó librarme de la enfermedad de la esperanza y las utopías. Claro yo pensaba cual primaveras veinteañero que en la cuna y país de los ballets rusos de Diaguilev y Nijinsky, de Tchaikovsky y Rimsky Korsakov, Borodin, Tanéyev Mussorgsky, Rachmaninov, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovi...
I sometimes wonder what it was like to be a music lover in the seventies. So many bands with so many records and so many of them obscure…was it as big a treat as it is today to find something incredibly rare. Blackwater Park "Dirt Box" [Spalax]
ResponderEliminarTheir lone (only one album) with 1972 this German hard rock outfit with an English vocalist,combined elements from multiple extant and budding rock subgenres to construct their complex sound: hard rock, blues-rock, jazz-rock, acid rock, prog rock, and even proto-metal.
Blackwater Park is an obscure band that emerged from the Berlin underground scene. They released their unique album "Dirt Box" in 1971, published on BASF in 1972. The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
