5 Rare Bands Having a Masterpiece
Dust
Dust is a really substantial US rock band from the 70s. But you’d hardly find the Dust in the universe of Pink Floyds and The Doorses. After two great albums, one of the members, Marc Bell, was leaving the band. Later he’d known as Marky Ramone. Many people read about the Dust in the book of his. I listened to their psycho-masterpiece “From a Dry Camel” in the Swiss movie “Sennentuntschi”.
Universe
The story of the Universe is just a mystery. Some tell that their only album was recorded in the house of a stranger. They have obviously influenced by the journey through Norway and got their psycho-progressive raw sound. I might be wrong drawing parallels between their and J.J. Cale’s “Cocaine”(later covered by Eric Clapton), but the second one is really, really wonderful.
AWIM
A French duo varying in the rock and indie genres. Having only activity as an album in 2005, AWIM is probably lost and gone forever. So, where to listen to them? Watching French horror-gore movie “Frontier(s)” you’d definitely get shocked before the end. Then comes AWIM’s masterpiece “Kill Me” as a cold shower…
Jerusalem
Another British 70s hard rock rarity in the background of such legends as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. By the way, their only self-titled album was produced by the frontman of Deep Purple Ian Gillan. What about me? I found their 5.5' masterwork “She Came Like a Bat from Hell” occasionally, when searching songs of another band called Jerusalem, from Sweden.
Colonel Bagshot
Another British team, this time from the hometown of The Beatles. Only few knew about this psycho-folk gem before the latest times. The famous club mix of their hit “Six Day War” bumped us to find the original song, which is marvelous, epic, legendary…
