In the 1980s and early 1990s, hard rock often meant pop-metal bands like Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, Vixen, Warrant, and Kiss. But for the Miracle Workers, hard rock was something entirely different. In the hands of the Miracle Workers, hard rock meant a throwback to the garage and psychedelic era of the late 1960s and early 1970s -- a time when the MC5, Steppenwolf, and the Kinks defined loud and proud. Roll Out the Red Carpet, which was recorded in late 1990 and released in 1991, isn't quite heavy metal. But aggressive, forceful tunes like "Burn Baby Burn" and "Rock N' Roll Revolution in the Streets (Part 1)" definitely recall a time when parents heard their teenagers playing the MC5 and wondered why kids would prefer something so noisy over "real music" like Doris Day and Rosemary Clooney. The Miracle Workers were never innovative or groundbreaking -- they never claimed to be. But they were good at what they did and enjoyed an enthusiastic cult following. Roll Out the Red Carpet isn't considered the band's best or most consistent effort; many fans insist that they reached their creative peak with 1985's Inside Out on Bomp!. But even though Roll Out the Red Carpet isn't the Miracle Workers' most essential release, it's a generally likable outing that has more plusses than minuses. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

The Ed Palermo Big Band – Oh No! Not Jazz!! CD1
Cuneform Records (2014)
http://www5.zippyshare.com/v/F3IgtLfs/file.html
The Ed Palermo Big Band is led by alto saxist and arranger Ed Palermo; he has had this big band with much of the same personnel for over 30 years, which is an impressive feat in itself, and has had his band performing the music of Frank Zappa for 20 years.
There are a number of ensembles performing the music of Frank Zappa, who is now recognized as one of the great 20th century American composers, but no one does it with this ease, skill and originality!
The band is a 18 piece ensemble of five woodwind players, four trumpeters, three trombonists, two keyboardists, guitar, violin, bass and drum. All of these musicians are NYC professionals, and they have been playing this music for years with Ed, because, like Ed, they recognize and appreciate the genius inherent in the huge body of Zappa's work, and they want to keep this great music alive and in front of the public.
OH NO! NOT JAZZ!! consists of two discs: The first disc further explores Ed's distinctive, big band interpretations of the music of Frank Zappa, while the second disc features Ed's own, colorful compositions.
Palermo developed these charts during years of live shows with these musicians, and their mastery of the material shows in the performances, which turn on a dime yet feel fierce with spontaneous invention.... Palermo's arrangements and these performances are precise, dedicated, raucous and incisive - just like Zappa himself. -- JazzTimes
Great stuff not only for Zappa fans but for fans (like myself) of Big Bands. I purchased Uncle Meat and Chunga's revenge upon their releases in 1969 and 1970. I knew Zappa was on to something with those records but I wasn't sure what it was. Those records were close to un-listenable for me at the time. Later as I aged these records aged with me and I began to appreciate their genius and significance.
Living in Boulder, Colorado in 1970 there was a big Tom cat who adopted us. Of course we named him Chunga and to show us his appreciation, one day he left a squirrel head and tail on the back porch. That, TZ friends, is Chunga's Revenge. Happy Sunday -- JohnnyDiego

Hi! No posts just thanks today, to RYP and GYRO1966. And a question about zippyshare: how is it that some of my uploads are sometimes not counted? Is there a way for me to know about them? I'd be grateful if someone could tell me about it. And another thing, I have been looking for Edgar Jones' latest Songs for Day and Night, and nothing doing. Can someone help. I've bought most of his records but I'd love to hear that one before. Thanks in advance.

A week ago I posted the the formidable album "Gravedigger" from the British band Janus and I told you the story of these guys getting a contract with EMI Harvest in 1972. Being in the same company with the likes of Pink Floyd, Deep Purple etc. could be the start of a world-wide career. And "Gravedigger" got it all:
http://www80.zippyshare.com/v/kLbPWRlm/file.html
But nomen est omen, "Gravedigger" failed in earning the success the band had deserved. Janus became popular in the western parts of Germany, where they lived (Krefeld) and in the Netherlands. But there was no break-through in the UK.
What follows is the unbelievable story of their second album, called "Under the Shadow of the Moon". It was 1973 when Janus went into the studio to record their new material. Like "Gravedigger" the new title song was planned for one half of the album. But suddenly Harvest don't want such monster tracks no more. The machines stopped, the music left unfinished, Janus was out of business and it didn't last long and the first line-up of Janus was history.
Mastermind Colin Orr went back to England, concentrating himself on his job and turned out to be a successful businessman. In the very late 80's he installed a studio in his home and started to play music again. Contacting his old mates he saw immediately that there had been too much time passed by and buried that first line-up forever. He hired some new and young musicians and started his second career as musician in the 90's, earning as much success that he reached the Canadian charts (to his amazement). And he got into contact with the BBC. Colin and his family played a minor role in a successful serial the BBC produced. And Colin wrote the music or it.
It was 2012 when EMI Harvest contacted Colin Orr with the plan to finish "Under the Shadow of the Moon". This album should be the final point for Harvest Records in 2013 too. "The Shadows" had never been finished musically, so Colin had to go in the studios starting to "re-work, re-model" what's been left of that unfinished album in 1973. Accompanied by his family and some guest musicians he went to Nashville and tried to lay down this concept album on tape as it was meant to be in 1973. In the end you will hear good music but Colin said, what "Under the Shadows" should have really been it's buried in my mind and in the floating time. Being an old man now you can't get and produce the feeling you had, when you're 24. And you can't reproduce it with musicians who weren't born in '73.
"The Shadow" is a piece of music out of a time when bands wrote free style (Jazz influenced) symphonies using fantasy (fantastic) lyrics, giving room for each band member to stretch their musical wings and reaching an audience that was always able and willing to listen to extraordinary and unexpected sounds.
"Under the Shadows" is a concept album, introduced by the 25 minutes title track using Armstrong's dialogue with the NASA when the first man reached the moon (..."giant step for mankind"). A neo-psychedelic passage forms the main theme but develops into a surreal maelstrom of dreamy Floydian (or Crimson) orchestral sections with nylon-string guitars, spectral female vocals and nonsensical carnival-like interludes that are reflective of the underlying theme of the protagonist being on the verge of psychosis.
So enjoy this extraordinary album as a strange bastard of time or as Led Zeppelin or H.P.Lovecraft (the author) might have said: Here's what is, and (imagine) what should have been:

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!!!
Some months ago I posted the complete work of The Miracle Legion. It was, until now. Miracle Mastermind Mark Mulcahy had reassembled his old mates, the second line-up of the Legion and they have done a double Live CD (2017), including Mr. Ray on guitar. As far as I see on first sight, more than 90% of the titles are tracks from the 80's and 90's and you will hear again "Mr. Mingo" and "All for the Best". To your pleasure:

@Johnny Diego. I have just tried to do what you advised me to do but it didn't change anything. Thank you very much for your time anyway! Have a pleasant Sunday!

And because GYRO is out of town and you might miss some of the usual quantity of music stuff I do a little homework more than usual and might introduce you to a German group called Tangerine Dream. This Berlin based band was one of a few German Bands that got worldwide critical acclaim and international distribution.
To my opinion the sixth album "Rubycon (1975)" is one of the best things that Edgar Froese, Peter Baumann and Christopher Franke had made. It evokes the picture of a river landscape from its spring to broader existence where ships are passing by. You may hear the sound of the ship diesel while the river is running his way to the sea.
Luis as an Italian knows by far the best that the Rubycon is only a small creek. You can't compare it to - let's say - the Ohio or the river Rhine. But the Tangerines paint you a picture of a mighty river rolling its floods through day and night, fields and rocks, passing villages and towns.
It took two parts and at least about 35 minutes until the "Rubycon" had finally reached the sea and the end of this album. This is one of those monster tracks we discussed a month ago, while searching for the longest track. It's in the same class with "Nantucket Slighride", taking two sides of one album. Enjoy!

And last one for today: By drawing a line in psychedelic music from the 60's to now you had all the big names of the late 60's and early 70's like Floyd, Traffic, Love etc in the beginning. To my opinion this wonderful tradition was continued in the 80's by bands like Rain Parade (which somebody posted here in the last days) and Opal. Regarding the 2000's we can mention The Asteroid #4 which is a group that transfer that kind of feeling in an elaborated way into the new decade.
Here is one of the best albums coming from the outer space of The Asteroid #4, it's "An amazing Dream". Have a good night:

Hi!
To "montysmusic" - giving one of your "huge/varied" uploads a try mostly because most of the 70's music listed is "desirable" here. As mentioned previously, hope it is NOT 1 huge File & can select what is wanted. Will see soon.
Thanx for all the shares.
Cheers!
Ciao! For now.

Would someone please leave a link for Jillem's Eccentric Soul files. I'd bookmarked it a while back but damned if I can find it now. Thanks.
the boxes from Montysmusic are indeed individual albums inside. Each and every one that I've tried so far has had some stuff I then deleted but also at least a couple that I'd never seen or heard before and really liked. They are great.
