Les Negresses Vertes - Green Bus [En Public] CD 1 (1996)

Les Negresses Vertes - Green Bus [En Public] CD 2 (1996)

The french group Les Negresses Vertes was formed in the late 80's in Paris.
Their sound was a mix of alternative, gypsy, raï and french popular music.
The first two albums, "Mlah" and "Famille Nombreuse", are really amazing and contain such cult classics as "Face à la Mer", "Il", "La Valse" or "Zobi la Mouche".
Although the band has lost a lot with the death, in 1993, of its original singer and lyricist Noël Rota (a.k.a. Helno) due to a heroin overdose, I've also decided to post their 1996 live album "Green Bus".
Hope you like it!

Roy Harper - Flashes From the Archives of Oblivion (1974)

I will start by saying that "Flashes From the Archives of Oblivion" is my Roy Harper favourite record and one of the most outstanding albums in the genre. Harper's voice and guitar, sound as captivating and immensely profound as you could ever imagine.
That's pretty obvious in such beautiful tracks like the classic "Another Day" (wich was later covered in This Mortal Coil's "It'll End in Tears"), "Me and My Woman" or "Twelve Hours of Sunset".
Don't miss it!

Pete Namlook & Wolfram Spyra - Virtual Vices (1998)

Here's an excellent album composed and performed by two undeniable icons of the ambient/electronica music scene made in Germany.
Track number three, the wonderful dreamy "Deu Sex Machina", is truly a work of art and probably my favourite track in all the record.
Don't miss it!

The Legendary Pink Dots - Under Triple Moons (1997)

"Under Triple Moons" is a collection of the Pink Dots early material, recorded between 1980-1984 and then released as k7-only editions.
Far from containing their best efforts, "Under Triple Moons" shows the band's beginings and early evolution in its rawest form.
Hope you like it!
