DR. Z - Heavy Prog

Dr. Z biography ( http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1230 )

DR. Z. is an obscure early 70's English trio whose LP version of their only album now fetches in the 3-digit price range (only 80 copies were sold at the time, the rest of the pressings were trashed by their record company). A cd version of the album, released by Vertigo in 1991, features a couple of extra tracks. The dominant mood of the album ("Three Parts to my Soul") is set by a percussive harpsichord that is alternately majestic and militaristic - imagine the sound of a Keith EMERSON harpsichord concerto if Carl PALMER matched him note for note on a kettle drum. The lyrics, dealing with occultism and the evil of man, are far better written than the music, which sounds rather clumsy and awkward to our modern ears. At its most inventive and textured, the album is a fine example of early 70's prog at its darkest. It has simple rhythms and the music is peculiarly obsessive, with very long piano and organ solos, baroque melodies and satanic lyrics.

Strictly for serious collectors of dark, early 70's curios willing to overlook a highly mangled production.

Dragonwyck - Prog Psych Rock

Dragonwyck biography: ( http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2958 )

This little known group was formed in 1968 in Cleveland, United States, first under a name SUNRISE. Later in 1969 they changes as DRAGONWYCK, and their musical style moved towards progressive rock. Their first album was released in 1970 for only 85 copies, as a demo LP. Musically they combine the elements of both British and American psychedelic sound with heavy metal tones. The mood of their music is dark and mystical, and their sound is dominated by guitar and Hammonds, Moogs and Mellotrons. The band did lots of touring in the early 70's and they also managed to release an album with bigger amount of copies. Their line-ups varied, but keymembers on all albums are Tom Brehm playing guitars and Bill Pettijohn singing. Today their original releases are also remastered, and their stuff can be recommended for anybody interested of obscure psych rock bands.

Band leader Tom Brehm reformed DRAGONWYCK with a new and younger lineup in 2006 and embarked on a short European tour before fading once again into obscurity.

NANTUCKET

Nantucket is a southern rock band that formed in Jacksonville, North Carolina in 1969. Originally known as beach music band Stax of Gold and later Nantucket Sleighride (after the song by Mountain), the six-member group—Tommy Redd, Larry Uzzell, Mike Uzzell, Eddie Blair, Kenny Soule, and Mark Downing—became a huge draw in their home state of North Carolina as a cover band. Nantucket eventually became a powerful and tenacious sensation, amassing numerous fans across the southeastern United States well before its first release. The band signed with Epic Records in 1977 and released its self-titled album the following year, which featured the hit single "Heartbreaker." An aggressive cross-country tour followed, and Nantucket opened for top acts such as KISS, Styx, Boston, Mother's Finest, Journey, and The Doobie Brothers. Although its debut release was fairly dated, it sold around 200,000 copies[citation needed] and also made the Billboard charts. In 1979, Nantucket followed up with Your Face or Mine?.

Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien - 1987

Bom, tentar eu tentei, mas presente é presente!!!!!

O amigo Lamarca me aparece do nada na toca do lobo e no seu estilo bem peculiar diz:
-Satriani faz parte de seu escopo?

O Lobo ainda se preparando pra ver de onde aquele fio saiu e pra que servia, afinal se estava ali deveria ter alguma serventia, mas porque estaria solto? não querendo dar bandeira respondi na lata:
-Mas é claro, of course my dear!!!! e nessa ia escondendo mais um fio que tb nem imaginava de onde havia se desprendido.....mas que coisa que nessa caverna os fios parecem ter vida própria.
Lamarca como que não vendo, quase tropeça numa outra parte da aparelhagem que nem imaginava como foi parar ali, porque qdo ele entrou a passagem estava livre!!!! O que estaria afinal de contas acontecendo, raios??? mas, voltando ao que interessa, ele me diz:
-Então faça bom proveito!!!! e do mesmo jeito que apareceu, sumiu rapidamente envolto em uma nuvem (que não sei se era gelo seco, poeira da caverna mesmo, ou algo sobrenatural, mas depois da vergonha, deixei pra lá); olhando bem o trabalho próximo a mim só aí me dei conta que era um original da época e não poderia deixar pra depois, vai que ele reaparece do nada pra querer de volta porque não havia postado!!!!!!

Resolvi ilustrar com um pouco da biografia do cara (do Satriani e não do Lamarca) que retirei da Wikipédia, que aliás está primando por informações mais diretas e até bem detalhadas.
"Joe Satriani, cujo nome verdadeiro é Joseph, começou a tocar guitarra após a morte de Jimi Hendrix (pois até então tocava bateria). Satriani foi professor de alguns guitarristas famosos em todo o mundo, tais como Alex Skolnick.Teve também uma relação curiosa com Steve Vai sendo que Satriani ensinou Steve a colocar cordas em uma guitarra modelo Floyd Rose, Kirk Hammett do Metallica, e David Bryson do Counting Crows.Em 1984 Satriani grava um EP com o seu próprio nome contendo 5 músicas em que havia apenas guitarras. Steve Vai, seu amigo e ex-aluno, consegue para Joe um contrato com a Relativity Records, e na mesma época lança seu primeiro álbum: "Not Of this Earth".

A sua fama porém veio com o disco "Surfing with the Alien". Álbum que lhe rendeu milhões de vendas ao redor do mundo e sua primeira indicação ao Grammy. Em 1996, criou junto com Steve Vai a turnê G3, na qual participa todos os anos desde então ao lado de outros grandes guitarristas virtuosos, gravando cds e Dvds de algumas apresentações. Joe conseguiu, num mundo dominado pelo pop, ser um dos guitarristas mais bem sucedidos no rock instrumental dos últimos tempos, vendendo milhões de álbuns, esgotando regularmente a lotação nos seus concertos. Atualmente é guitarrista de um projeto de Sammy Hagar e Michael Anthony (ex-Van Halen) chamado de Chickenfoot.

Em 2008, Satriani e o grupo Coldplay tiveram um certo desentendimento devido às semelhanças das melodias de " Viva La Vida, do Coldplay e If I Could Fly, de Joe Satriani.

Bem só tenho a agradecer o carinho e a amizade desse amigo e dividir com vc o presente que ele nos deu.

The Root Source - Deep Jazz Funk

The Root Source have returned, with a quality and timeless follow up to their self titled debut album released in 2007 (FSRCD019). Upon its release, the London based septet were lauded by the likes of Nicola Conte, Snowboy and Gilles Peterson and discerning dance floors around the world took a real heel bashing whenever any of these top DJs played the tracks from the album in their club sets! Now in 2010, this brand new collection has been nurtured lovingly, earnestly, soulfully and truthfully by Hammond Organist/Pianist Andrew Fairclough. Drawing on influences from Deep jazz, Funk and Samba Fusion of 60s and early 70s origin yet wholeheartedly retaining contemporary originality. All tracks are new compositions except an unlikely yet anthemic jazz dance reworking of the Oompah Loompah Theme/Pure Imagination from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

Um Ano sem o DEAD! - Mensagem da Loba Alive

13/04/2015 23:50 UM ANO SEM O LOBO

Pensei em muitas coisas para escrever, as palavras se perdem, não acho a melhor forma e não posso ficar voltada para os que ficam incomodados com um lobo que já não faz mais parte da matilha...

Só posso dizer que eu amei demais esse homem com ou sem os defeitos e posso garantir que ele era extraordinário!

Difícil de ser compreendido e sei também que ofendia alguns. Eu mesma fiz as malas umas três vezes para sair da vida dele, o amor venceu e a morte nos separou!

Porém, ele era tão bom no que fazia e tinha o brilho dele próprio que tem gente que perde tempo manifestando sua inveja e criticando seus erros mesmo ele não estando mais por aqui.

Ele era o tipo de homem que respeitava as mulheres, como poucos no mundo hoje; também era gentil maior parte do tempo e tirava dele mesmo para doar...

Infelizmente, os problemas que tinha e sofrimentos na infância e adolescência, fizeram com que se tornasse um homem solitário, com transtorno de humor; 

A música era o grande remédio para a alma e durante grande parte do tempo, companhia, como para tantas outras pessoas...

O blog era tudo e também tornou grande vilão para o coração tão ferido desse lobo por conta das ofensas e trocas de agressões verbais entre alguns...

Por isso, JAVANES tem mantido com dificuldade até! Pois não  conectei o pc  à internet e com isso não recordo a senha...

Também não consigo abrir o blog... minha mente não permite!

E por esse motivo venho agradecer ao Javanes por tudo, pelo carinho e dedicação e também aos seguidores do SOM MUTANTE.

Que Deus abençoe a todos dando mais paciência e tolerância para lidar com o que está do outro lado da tela do computador. Não sabemos o que o outro traz e nem a história de cada um.

Erros? Todos cometemos! Falhar? Falhamos muitas vezes, então quem pode julgar o outro?

Cuidado com palavras, pois elas matam!!!

Vamos edificar!

Façamos da música a mágica para um mundo melhor! 

Obrigada aos amigos: Aponcho, (que ele amava e se preocupava muito); tem um rapaz de Niteroi que não recordo nome,  o lobo velho gostava demais de você cara! também ao nosso amigo Eduardo (pai da saudosa Aninha), pelo carinho na amizade e aos outros que não sei nome.

Sejam felizes.

Paz e bem.

John Arch from Fates Warning

John Arch (born John Maurice Archambault, May 15, 1959 in Colorado Springs) is an American progressive metal singer most notable for his work with the band Fates Warning. Arch co-wrote the majority of the band's songs with guitarist Jim Matheos, and was the band's sole lyricist. After their third album, Awaken the Guardian, was released, Arch was asked to quit his job or leave the band. Financial obligations made it impossible for Arch to quit his job, and he argued that he had shown 100% commitment to the band throughout the years. However, the band informed him that they had to let him go and started to look for another singer. In one interview with John Arch, he said that he would have quit his job if he was asked, but the rest of the band never asked him to.

John Arch - 2003 - A Twist of Fate

A Twist of Fate is an EP by singer John Arch, released on June 17, 2003 through Metal Blade Records. At the time, the EP was Arch's first musical work in over seventeen years since leaving progressive metal band Fates Warning in 1987, with whom he recorded their first three albums; the last being Awaken the Guardian (1986). Consisting of only two tracks, A Twist of Fate features Fates Warning founder and guitarist Jim Matheos, with whom Arch would later release a collaborative album in 2011, entitled Sympathetic Resonance, under the banner of Arch/Matheos. Also among the line-up are former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy and current Fates Warning bassist Joey Vera.

Band:

John Arch – vocals, production

Jim Matheos – guitar, keyboard, engineering, production

Mike Portnoy – drums

Joey Vera – bass, engineering

Andy Happel – cello, violin

Phil Magnotti – engineering, mixing, mastering
