An Awesome Blog and Can from 1971 on German television!!!

My friend Randy notified me of a killer blog called FM Shades.

This blog is manna from the heavens!!!

Let the angels sing
Bruce Palmer: Cycle is Complete
obscure unknown
psychedelia
and experimental
sounds and tones
and take copious
amounts of intoxicants
to clear the mind
of its pollution
and become
naked and pure
.

The blogger provides info and downloads (including cover art..if available) of great obscure, extremely hard-to-get music.

Samples of what's available

Robbie Bas
ho - The Falconer's Arm I & II (1967-1968) great underrated guitarist with a great eastern feel flowing through the music. Overshadowed by John Fahey who was also on the same label: Takoma.
Bruce Palmer - The Cycle is Complete (1971) The great Bruce Palmer from Neil Young legend (he and Neil ran into Stephen Stills in a traffic jam in LA and proceeded to form Buffalo Springfield) who put out this album as a final fuck-you to the music industry. Rick James guests!!! Need to listen to this more!!!!
SRC - SRC (1968) From the Detroit rock scene with MC5 and Iggy. Needless to say, these guys didn't make quite the splash those 2 did, but that doesn't make it any less vital!!
Kraftwerk - K4 (1971) Early Kraftwerk with Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger from Neu! as early members.

Check it out!! What the fuck are you waiting for?????
