Re: Music
I put that on and my wife asked (from the next room) if I was feeling ok. Nuff said.

Paternoster - Paternoster (1972) Full-Album

Austrian prog rock. Interesting to see the x-over with say Focus, King Crimson etc.

Ram Jam - Black Betty
Like Golden Earring also Dutch. This one derived from an American slavers song.
p.s. This is (probably) the slavery link:
'Black Betty - LEADBELLY'

Don't know the age, pre-1945 I'd guess....

Re: Music
Now I know New York (where Ram Jam are from) was originally New Amsterdam but claiming that makes them Dutch is a bit of a stretch 
Maybe you were thinking of Focus, Dutch prog rockers from around the same time. Here is their famous track Hocus Pocus, an instrumental with yodelling

Damn it's not the first time I've made that kind of mistake. I used to think Metallica were Swedish, not just think it *I absolutely knew it*. It took an argument over an hour or more to convince me that they weren't, so deep was my belief. And another: For some reason I came to *know* that the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are from Bristol, England. Heaven's knows now how I came to that conclusion, but that took another fierce debate to debunk it





Focus I know well (Jan the guitarist is a friend). It was probably Focus and King Crimson that together were my initial introduction into er... 'prog rock', 30 odd years ago now. I seem to have switched attention over several genres over the years but prog-rock is one that keeps holding my interest. Perhaps because the genre doesn't have clear limits, there's always something new, a new interpretation by a newly discovered band to check out...
Right, so your point brings to mind something I learned last week, but haven't had a chance to look in to yet: Apparently PJ Proby was a member of Focus for a time... WTH was that all about?
And secondly... I have a couple of Van der Graaf generator albums too. Now you have me second-guessing myself, and 'I must immediately' confirm that where I think they're from is correct

Re: Music
Well there you go, just wikipedia'd that and sure enough PJ Proby recorded an album with Focus, how bizarre. I'm a bit young to be a true prog aficionado but I must admit what I do hear I quite like, even the yodelling. 
That's sent me on a prog wiki exploration, VdGG are from England (Manchester) and are apparently still recording and touring. Which reminds me I saw Wishbone Ash in the UK a few years back (2009 maybe) with a mate who's a guitar nut, only one original member and whole lot less hair than the 70's but very entertaining.

re: Focus with PJ Proby.
Reply: 'Someone left a cake out in the rain'.
Which IIUIC translates a 'someone is nuts'. If that's so, odds on that person will be (deliberately vague) the Focus member who was chief-yodeller.... hehe...

So, thanks for the correction. [example3: I used to know that The Scorpions were British, I mean come on, why for a start would a German band have an English name?...

Oh, another (in)famous Dutch band (that most probably thought from American given the song that made them famous) Diesel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c93aaCza_dY
Love or hate it, the production is quite well done.

Re: Music
Agree re: the production. Also yes they do a good impersonation of being American (vocals/style). Wouldn't have guessed otherwise if you hadn't have mentioned it.Brah wrote:Oh, another (in)famous Dutch band (that most probably thought from American given the song that made them famous) Diesel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c93aaCza_dY

I can't say I know the song. I had a light-bulb moment at the chorus, and found it familiar. Then realised it sounds as if it's lifted directly out of the CSN song Marrakesh Express.
Kajagoogoo => Berlaaaast from the past! I remember them as nasty teen-pop radio fodder. But then I can't say I've heard any of their hits for decades now, so maybe (rather doubtful) it might interpret differently to me these days...
