Captain Beyond
📀 Captain Beyond
#HardRock #PsychedelicRock #SpaceRock
50 years ago Captain Beyond from Los Angeles, #USA released their eponymous debut studio album.
The band was considered one of the first Hard Rock supergroups, consisting in former members of Iron Butterfly (Larry Reinhard, Lee Dorman), Deep Purple (Rod Evans) and Johnny Winter band (Bobby Caldwell).
#CaptainBeyond was dedicated to the memory of wonderful guitarist Duane Allman, passed away in 1971.
IMHO "Mesmerization Eclipse" is one of the best Hard Rock songs ever, give it a listen!
Captain Beyond in this album were:
#RodEvans – lead vocals
#LarryReinhardt "Rhino"– guitars
#LeeDorman – bass, backing vocals, piano
#BobbyCaldwell – drums, percussion, bells, vibraphone, backing vocals, piano

Pholas Dactylus
📀 Concerto Delle Menti
#ProgressiveRock #RPI
50 years ago Pholas Dactylus from #Milan #Italy, released their debut (and only) studio album in the 70s, the band would in fact split soon after, to reunite 40 years later.
Concerto Delle Menti is a musical journey divided into 2 sides-parts, to me really a hell of an album!
Vocals in Italian are entirely #SpokenWord, a psychedelic narration on biblical and apocalyptic visions abruptly cut at the album's end.
All accompanied by a guitar and piano driven crescendo in which elements of #JazzRock, #AvantGarde, #HeavyMetal, #SpaceRock and surprisingly #KrautRock (#PholasDactylus toured in fact only with Amon Düül II in their short life) perfectly coexhist.
In this album:
#PaoloCarelli - voice
#EleinoColladet - guitars
#ValentinoGalbusera, #MaurizioPancotti - keyboards
#RinaldoLinati - bass
#GiampieroNava - drums
#VittorioDeScalzi (New Trolls) - production
