The Power of the Picts (1969) by Writing on the Wall

Orgasm/Cave Rock (1969) by Cromagnon

EDIT: By the way, Eros is a great album.

Been a while now. Oh well. One should be out and about in the spring sun instead of mining for one-album-wonders anyway.

England - Garden shed (1977)

Probably the best Yes-ripoff there ever was. And I'm cheating a bit here, since there's also a demo album around recorded as a follow-up to this masterpiece, that's been released posthumously.

Yezda Urfa - Sacred baboon (1976/1989)

Probably the best Yes-on-speed-ripoff there ever was. I'm cheating a bit here as well, once again since there's a demo album around. And the complications don't stop there (or with the music, which just blows your mind); it was recorded in 1976 but not released until 13 years later in the age of grunge and sleaze when, if possible, prog was about as fit for the general opinion as East Germany was for automotive manufacturing. How great is that!

Jakob Hellman - Och stora havet (1989)

Ok, this probably won't make any sense to the non-native swede, but it ranks up there as well. Anyway, it's the sole album by Jakob Hellman and it's one of the most critically acclaimed swedish pop albums ever, and even if I personally think it's dragged down a bit by the slick production standards of the time as well as reminders of the doldrums of my childhood, I still think it's damn fine pop for the bucks. Look it up if you like well-crafted powerpop.

Yellow Balloon - s/t (1967)

I don't really know that much about the band nor the record, except that it's a bloody good one. Falls into the same category as "Pet sounds", "Odessey and oracle", i.e. lush, sunny pop.

Giles, Giles & Fripp - The cheerful insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp (1968)

And this puppy doesn't fit in anywhere in particular, definitely not in the Court of the Crimson King. The closest analogy I can think of is contemporary Kinks, albeit spiced with Robert Fripp's already dexterious jazz runs. Very english, very different from what they (or two of them at least) would go on doing, and very good.

a sadly defunct but brilliantly named band who only made one album....

Meanwhile Back In Communist Russia
"Indian Ink"

Excellent album, I was going to include it in my list but didn't because of that demo album (I wasn't even sure if it was a demo or actual album, haven't heard it).

Another excellent one, can't believe I left that out.

Violent & Funky · 04-22-2011, 12:54 PM

The two contemporary examples that jumped to my mind:

Death from Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine

Maybe not done (reunited for a short tour this summer)?

Test Icicles - For Screening Purposes Only

Well, I thought people were pushing it with Zappa/Beefheart and Derek & The Dominoes, so I guess it's quite arbitrary.

And while we're on the topic of unreleased demos, one mustn't miss out on "The Brondesbury Tapes":

Would you count MSTRKRFT as being DFA1979?

I see them as the same group they just put down the bass and drums and utilized producing software to express themselves musically.

I'd like to see another album from the guys via DFA1979, the reunion may lead to something...
