Today's Album Reviews issue puts the spotlight on Ukranian band La Horsa Bianca. With their latest album out and not having appeared on DPRP before, our writer Martin Burns took it upon him to review their whole discography. Progressive space rock with a mix of Canterbury, anyone?
Today we have an article in our Collectors Corner series, focusing on albums that for some reason have not shown up on a lot of people's radars. Today we're looking at a label called +PLUS+ that only ever published three albums, in 1970/1971. Forgettable to some but hidden gems to others. Three German bands playing early prog rock in different styles:
- Tomorrow's Gift
- Wind
- Ikarus
Enjoy!
