If Ain't Baroque, Don't Fix It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Baroque pop? Yep and we aren’t talking about Bach shredding tunes on his organ in the 18th century. We’re talking about the 1960s genre of music that is confused with psychedelic rock. This genre involves organs, pipes, and similar instruments of the original Baroque era. Instead this one is more upbeat and poppy.I’ve actually had a few discussions about this genre. Yes, I enjoy the music a lot but no, it isn’t the trippy acid infused rock you think it is. Is it closely related, that’s debatable
Got Krautrock? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pioneers of music? Yep we got you covered today. Kraftwerk was a once in a lifetime group that pushed the envelope to the furthest reaches. As the original electronic music group, they introduced us to a brand new sound. Some call it, Krautrock. Some call it, Kosmische Music. But what can’t be denied is the originality that Ralf Hutter and Florian Schneider brought to music. This fourth studio album, Autobahn, got it’s inspiration from the band’s love of driving on the German highway system. Hut

Before they became the voice of a generation with, Turn Turn Turn, they changed the landscape of music in 1965. The Byrds first album was nothing short of perfect.

Was there ever a Beatles album that was as confusing as it was perfect? For me, it was, The White Album. It took me about 10 spins of this album to truly appreciate the genius it was. For awhile I just thought it a psychedelia infused rambling mess. Considering it was the height of their creativity as well as the height of the Acid fueled music they put out. This powerhouse album contains 30 songs. A large number for any album of the time. 19 were done at a spiritual retreat in India where the o
An English Folk rarity.. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who’s an English Folk group you should listen to? No, it’s not Pentangle or Fairport Convention (but you should listen to them, too), it’s a one album band named, Midwinter. Midwinter was formed by two guitarists were auditioning for Great Yarmouth’s Christmas Party hosted by the Folk Club. They teamed up and completely blanked and settled on performing, God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman. Apparently they liked how it sounded but they needs one more, so they invited Jill Child to join them to make a tr
