Quatermass - Quatermass (1970)

Quatermass is an album by British progressive rock band, Quatermass, first released in May 1970.

Based around organ, bass and drums, Quatermass is regarded as a quintessential

Flied Egg - Dr. Siegel's Fried Egg Shooting Machine (1972)

First album recorded as Flied Egg called "Dr. Siegel's Fried Egg Shooting Machine" is surely the best record Shigeru Narumo & his friends ever done. Improvement over "When The Raven Has Come To The Earth"(recorded as Strawberry Path) is really huge. The most important is that band's leader

Flash was an English progressive rock group, formed by former Yes guitarist Peter Banks and vocalist Colin Carter in August 1971. Bassist Ray Bennett, and Mike Hough on drums completed the line-up.

The band went into the recording studio in November 1971 to record its debut album, and performed its first gig on 14 January 1972. Coincidentally, exactly one year later, on 14 January 1973, Flash would fill New York's Philharmonic Hall.

Circus - Movin' on (1977)

"From Basel, Switzerland, Circus had much success in Europe, with three studio albums and a document of them in concert (which we presume to be a bootleg). Formed in 1972, Circus took time to refine and hone their style, a complex rock with jazz and classical angles, and a rather unique instrumentation. Yes, remarkably, Circus played rock music without any

Birth Control - Plastic People (1975)

Formed in Germany, Birth Control it's a somewhat strange group: they started as a instrumental jazz rock outfit, but their albums are in the vein of Deep Purple with a German touch.

Plastic People, by the way, it's a mix of progressive, hard rock, krautrock (very little), jazz/soul and

Nautilus - 20,000 Miles Under The Sea (1978)

(artwork by Ralph Stucki)

The band is Nautilus, the year is the 1978, the country is Switzerland and here it is a little lost gem called 20 000 Miles Under The Sea. This band is almost ignored by the most.

This is a 1978 release, recorded in 1977, but it could be released in
