Here we go @prpx and @popvulture !

At this time in the early 70‘, there have been some beautiful labels around, driven through some crazy producers.
But that’s a story to be told later.

Announced some weird stuff, hidden, lost and found, reproduced and totally heartbreaking.
Perhaps this. …. but look, read and hear yourself.

Cozmic Corridors on Pyramid somewhere in 72/73

@Aetas another great one I've ever heard of.

Keep em coming

[GraemeE]

@prpx are you originally from Croatia?

[prpx]

@GraemeE - yes, born and raised in Zagreb

[GraemeE]

@prpx you have any lesser known gems from there or the general Balkan region to share?

@Aetas is doing a killer job with the German stuff but I'm greedy for ever more undiscovered gold

[prpx]

@GraemeE - the music scene here was always quite focused on the local market, meaning, there were for sure a lot of very good punk rock, new wave and post punk bands, but all of them had lyrics in Croatian. Neighbouring Slovenia has Laibach - they focused their art on the foreign markets and they adapted well. If you dont know them definitely check them out. I'll think about other recommendations as well. The language of the lyrics is the biggest issue i think. For sure that there is a great number of eg Spanish bands, but i couldnt get myself to listen - since i dont get the lyrics.

Not sure if i posted this already, but i really like this album

@prpx unfortunately, I can only give you 1 upvote for this

@prpx said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

lyrics in Croatian

Not a deal breaker for me

I have tons of albums from around the world that I love but have no idea what the lyrics actually mean - if we are talking punk there are plenty in English that I can't even decipher

@GraemeE - Haha fair point!

Yeah, good luck with that
Mostly schlagers and french chanson in Croatian. But i’m prejudiced because its my parents music

A friend turned me onto this release so thought I’d put it here for any Lowell/Little Feat fans. Sounds like it’s amazing. Also made me think of @mclaincausey cause I think I remember him loving this album

@SKT thanks! it's so good.

[SKT]

@mclaincausey apparently the outtakes and demo versions are incredible. Think I’ll pick it up for sure.
