    Who the hell voted this guy down? I love this channel. I just discovered it this morning and it's blown my mind at least 4 times so far with new discoveries. This man is a walking encyclopedia of rock history, especially as relates to psychedelia, and this is currently my favorite channel on youtube.

    Great taste on prog & eclectic rock. Some stuff I never heard before and now I definitely will.
    Amazing and colossal collection of vinyls too!
    Too bad it was an expensive hobby in my country and I could only get the best music through imports.
    I have a love/hate relationship with vinyl (the scratching sounds and when they break) but the joy of holding them, smelling them and looking at the art and design and marvel at the care many artists put to them.
    Btw, the band Mel Collins felt the happier was Camel, I'm pretty sure and he plays in Nude as well, if I'm not mistaken.

    YES... Captain Beyond is indeed absolutely essential..! One of my absolute favorite pieces in my collection. The opening to Dancing Madly Backwards is just HUGE! One of the best riffs ever! Brilliant record. Once again great video!

    @antmichb
    I love the album. If Moonmadness is your favorite you'll be less impressed by this one (I would imagine) as it is less rocking, much more pastoral. The Cluster & Eno is great stuff. Thanks for commenting.

  • @dereckvon
    @dereckvon  13 років тому +1

    @MrAlphaSurf I love Grobschnitt and presently only have them on cd. Long ago I owned Jumbo but due to craziness sold it. I just put on Rockpommel's Land to refresh my ears. I hope to do a whole video on Gentle Giant. Thanks for commenting.

    Another great video Dereck! When I saw you pull out the Captain Beyond LP, I said "YES!!!" Totally brilliant album!! I saw the Flower Traveling Band in concert in Toronto back in 1971 when they opened for Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. I picked up their Canadian version of that first LP soon afterward. It has a different jacket.

    That Jackson Heights album cover reminds me of early Van Der Graaf Generator. And the last time I saw Gong, during that tour when they had the Steve Hillage band as support, I recall Daevid Allen levitating during "Master Builder"! At least, it seemed that way to me! And that was without any psychedelics!

    Love Battles! Really excited for their new album Gloss Drop in June. I didn't know about the Helmet connection, despite being a fan of that band as well. Of course Soft Machine, Amon Duul II, Cluster, Peter Gabriel, Captain Beyond, Gong, and Flower Travellin' Band are all awesome. I plan to check out the ones you mentioned that I'm not familiar with. Thanks!

  • @ALotOfBottle
    @ALotOfBottle 8 років тому +1

    I love the fact that you are such an open-minded person and more importantly that you are so human-friendly.
    I really like your faves. For me, the top bands would be Camel, Egg, Soft Machine, Tomorrow, Gentle Giant, Hawkwind, Floyd, but also lesser known acts like Jonesy, T2, Argent or Velvet Fogg. Really great picks from you, very much my style.
    I would be delighted to recommend our Polish national Prog/Jazz-Rock treasue SBB, if you haven't heard of them. I am sure you would love them! Have a listen to a song "W kołysce twoich dłoni". Their later work is leaning more towards fusion or jazz rock. For that you might check out their 1979 concert in Warsaw, very popular on UA-cam.
    Anyway, keep up great work! You are a super chill person and you've got an oustanding taste!

    I am making quite the list of lps/bands to check out based off your last few videos. I was curious, could you do a video, or just share in a response, some of the more mainstream things you like. I mean Genisis is there, but I was just curious what your taste was like in that area of music.
    Take care!

    Ever see that non-Roger Dean cover of Octopus with the cut-out jar? I was of course on a Roger Dean quest when I found the other one, but I suppose that's kinda how these things go. I maybe shouldn't watch you until I learn more obscure stuff. The 1996 16-year-old me would have gone into some kind of catatonic bliss-shock. You are a complete gem of a dude.

    @jacquesdemolay2699 6 років тому

    From Genesis To Revelation -- was released in 1969.
    probably had only 1 edition as it did not sell.
    relatively unknown and often ignored by genesis fans.
    I like a few songs on that album; but the next album "The Knife" is so much better and gives an inkling of Genesis unique music style.
    I would not be surprised if I were the only person commenting on this album in your thread.
