I wasnt talking about his actual voice as much as how he went after the songs. But there is no doubt his voice has lost some off the edges. They all have, cant be avoided, I dont hold that against them. |

Thanks for that link. I post like twice a year on the Opeth board because it's filled with faggots, so I missed that. Good stuff in there though.
And yes, am familiar with Nektar. |

Always liked the song "Lines on my Face" by Peter Frampton. Also the band Mountain deserves to be mentioned. Leslie West is an underrated guitarist.

It takes more than a few listens to fully grasp but once you are acclimated with all the movements, holy fuck is it worth it.

Thats a good point, Nantucket Sleighride was a bit progressive. I think Theme for Imaginary Western was too. With me the biggest point that is ignored or given less than enough recognition is how important the entire band, Mountain, was in bringing hardrock to peoples attention. Even I almost always forget to mention them, hell they were kickin ass and rockin hard in 1970-71 right along side the rest of them that always get mentioned. Felix Pappalardi was a great bass player and producer too. But yes, Leslie was RAW guitar in your face. |

Mountain is good I saw them open up for Deep Purple a few years ago, good show and they have a great sense of humor. |

Proto Kaw, I heard a few on XM Deep Tracks occasionally the past few years and I though it sounded good. You have that one yet ?
I have Rapture of the Deep and enjoy it quite a few times a year. Just had it in circulation again about a month ago. Its all I have of the three DP w/SM recordings. More straight up stuff but they keep it interesting. Gillans almost the weak link to my ears  , cant believe I had to say that, that would have been blasphomy 20 years ago.  |
rapture of the deep is great. the best purple album in decades. bannanas was good too though |

Maybe you´ll also like this one then:
Birth Control - "The Work Is Done"
A German Kraut Rock-band. I saw a concert of them on German TV a few years ago in a "Kraut Rock Special" and enjoyed it. However, I only have got one of their albums - "Hoodoo Man" -, which, as far as I understand, also contains their biggest "hit": "Gamma Ray". Someone posted the album version of this song on youtube.

They were pretty radical, sounds like maybe around 1970 or earlier to me.
I was really into the sound Ken Hensley, Vincent Crane and Craig Frost got out of their Hammonds, so it always stuck with me.
