One of the few artists to successfully combine classical and rock music, probably one of his best works IMO.

An interesting band, on the edge of Psychedelic, but also quite a hard rock sound for 1968, unusual for an American band at that time. Their sound is considered an important influence on Hard Rock and HM to come, similar in some aspects to Mountain. This album received RIAA: 4x Platinum awards. The band have a huge list of members over the years and are still going in a Touring/Tribute form, the only original member from the 60's is Ron Bushy(drummer). All of Iron Butterfly's material was destroyed along with hundreds of others in a fire at Universal in 2008.
If you are into rock music and have not heard it then it is well worth a listen.

I came across this by complete accident due to a link to Ommadawn, the singer/writer, Clodagh Simonds apparently invented the word Ommadawn in a book. It turns out that this album is a highly sought after folk-rock album with all sorts of cross-overs. It is extremely good and sadly rather expensive to buy. Clodagh Simonds is also in a current band Fovea Hex, I have dipped into some of their material on Tidal as well and it is excellent.

Got this fantastic record a couple of days ago, one of my favourite albums. Some great music and huge dynamics.
If you have not heard it give it a listen, it is a concept album.
Wikipedia "The album follows Billy, a mentally and physically disabled man from Wales, forced to live with his uncle David in Los Angeles after his brother Benny was sent to prison after an act intended to support striking coal miners results in the death of a taxi driver, following his dismissal from his mining job due to "market forces." The album explores Billy's mind and view on the world through an on-air conversation between him and Jim, a disc jockey at a local fictitious radio station named Radio KAOS."

....and now for something a wee bit Scottish. YES it's The Sensational Alex Harvey Band:dance:
If you have not heard them then do yourself a favour and have a go. I saw them live at Reading Festival 1976 when they headlined, Alex coming on stage dressed up as Hitler(taking the Mickey) singing "Action Strasse", with similarly gestapo dressed dancing girls was acceptable back in the days.
