Fleet Foxes
A música dos Fleet Foxes estará a anos-luz do género musical que colocou Seattle no mapa musical, mas se de alguma coisa a sonoridade de bandas como os Nirvana, Pearl Jam ou Alice In Chains serviu para impulsionar a carreira de Casey Wescott (teclista) e seus companheiros foi mesmo como alerta para a possibilidade e validade de um percurso no universo dos estúdios e palcos.
A banda começou a gravar sem qualquer intenção de terminar um álbum, as expectativas eram poucas e não havia sequer uma editora para os empurrar. Mas o sucesso vivido no MySpace chamou a atenção da importante Sub Pop e eis que surge em 2008 o longa-duração homónimo (depois da experiência Sun Giant, em formato EP).Wescott explica sem pruridos a natureza desde disco: "Tudo o que fazemos, enquanto banda, é gravar discos e dar concertos. Temos todos muito cuidado em não fazer nada que não seja representativo da banda, não tentamos projectar nada, a não ser aquilo que a banda é. Tem sido tudo muito genuíno".

Chrome
A Chrome foi fundada em 1976 em São Francisco e inspirada em sons como Hawkwind e Black Sabbath.
Chrome's music incorporated synthesizers and samples, and frequently emphasized themes of science fiction and paranoia. Though their mainstream success was limited, Chrome are now regarded as one of the earliest industrial rock groups.
The Visitation - 1977
Chase
A trio of albums from Chase -- one of the hippest jazz rock combos of the 70s! The self-titled Chase album first burned onto the market in 1971 -- and it's a great distillation of a groove that was bubbling around in various other segments at the time -- some of the tighter big band rhythms of the late 60s, as you might find in the work of Maynard Ferguson or Woody Herman -- mixed with the hipper rhythms from the rockish underground, particularly in the work of Blood Sweat & Tears or Chicago. Chase is a fair bit jazzier than both of those groups -- as they often put the horns more upfront than the vocals -- although most numbers do have some sort of vocals as well. Instrumentation is heavy on trumpets -- which come together in blasting, blaring groove, even despite the smaller size of the combo -- and Phil Porter lays down some great keyboard lines that really help some of the best tracks cook nicely. Titles include "Handbags & Gladrags", "Livin In Heat", "Open Up Wide", "Hello Groceries", "Boys & Girls Together", and "Invitation To A River". Ennea is a jazz rock classic that still sounds pretty darn tasty today -- forged on the heels of Chicago and Blood Sweat & Tears, but with a sound that's leaner and meaner! The group's led by trumpeter Bill Chase -- hence their name -- and features lead vocals by GG Shinn and Terry Richards, both in a style that's got the same blue-eyed jazz soul overtones as that used by the groups mentioned above. The real strength of the tracks, though, is their jazzy backings -- horn-heavy, as you'd expect, and hitting some great riffs and licks on the album's side-long title "suite", which features many instrumental passages. Titles include "Hades", "Aphrodite (parts 1 & 2)", "Zeus", "Poseidon", "Cronus", "It Won't Be Long", "I Can Feel It", and "Night". Pure Music is the third album from the mighty Chase -- and proof that the group was still going strong even after their groundbreaking debut! The grooves here are almost tighter than before -- a bit more complicated instrumentally, with some of the trumpets backed off a bit, to leave more room for great lines on guitar and keyboards. There's still some vocals on the record, but they seem a bit more on the backburner than before -- and titles include "Close Up Tight", "Twinkles", "Weird Song #1", "Run Back To Mama", and "Bochawa". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.Jazz fusion de primeira!
Chase - 1970
Floh De Cologne
Outra peróla Krautrock imperdível!
CAPTALISMO FEDE! A única coisa que consegui descobrir é que "Profitgeier" significa "Urubu do lucro". Bacana né? Pois é, essa banda não é mais uma daquelas coisas estranhas alemãs que todo mundo fala que é super estranho e na verdade realmente não é (o Kraan por exemplo, rock totalmente comum, apesar de ser bom). Essa banda é realmente bem experimental, bem malucona, e por mais que você não entenda nada de alemão como eu, é muitíssimo notável que eles tem um envolvimento político de esquerda muito forte, pra não dizer, socialistas mesmo. Musicalmente, bom, quem gosta de R.I.O. (Rock in opposition), Frank Zappa, e coisas acerca, vai com certeza gostar desse disco! Gravado ao vivo (e muito bem gravado, com um ótimo som), é uma ópera-rock, e é de verdade, diálogos bem musicados, você consegue perceber uma narrativa através das faixas, muito bem estruturado e impressionante como é tão bem executada ao vivo! Fora este disco, conheço só o "Geyer symphonie", e te digo que gostei até mais deste, "Profitgeier". Recomendo! Peguem o disco! Extraído do Perbove

Sloche
SLOCHE are another band from Quebec like MANEIGE,OPUS 5 and ET CETERA that must be heard to be believed.A 5 piece band with 2 keyboardists, although one of them plays sax at times.The vocals are fantastic as well and are in French. "C'Pas Fin Du Monde" opens with spacey synths for the first 1 1/2 minutes then this intricate sounding melody takes over with keys,bass,light drums and more.A collage of sounds really.Vocals join in a minute later.Nice.This sounds amazing! A calm 5 1/2 minutes in then some bombastic drums and organ kick in before it settles into a jazzy groove.Nice guitar after 7 1/2 minutes. "Le Kareme D'Eros" is the longest track at almost 11 minutes.We get piano melodies to open for over 3 1/2 minutes before vocals and a heavy and full sound takes over.They're having fun! Great guitar after 5 minutes as it trades solos with the organ.Incredible section! It settles with synths and piano before 7 minutes then the vocals come back.It turns spacey followed by a heavier sound after 9 minutes.Check it out! Great section. "J'un Oeil" builds to an incredible sound a minute in.Vocals join in too.Wonderful sound.There is a GENTLE GIANT vibe and then it settles before 3 minutes, we're back to the main melody with vocals a minute later. "Algebrique" opens with acoustic guitar as synths join in.Drums come in as the tempo picks up.Vocals 2 minutes in.An outburt of guitar and sound comes and goes 3 1/2 minutes in.Sax in this one too.Love the drum patterns here.Great track. "Potage Aux Herbes Douteuses" opens with a catchy beat,kind of funky actually.Cool sound especially the drumming after 2 1/2 minutes.Vocals a minute later followed by some outstanding floating organ sounds.Guitar and drums after 5 1/2 minutes take over.Vocals are back.It calms right with acoustic guitar to end it. This will appeal to more then just jazz fans out there,a hidden gem if there ever was one.
