Love both of these albums!
Recently picked up a nice vinyl copy of Secret Treaties.
And I have very fond memories of Captain Beyond! We used to cut class my senior year in HS and wore that one out at my buddy's house! I think the band was Rod Evans on vocals (from original Deep Purple), 2 of the Iron Butterfly guys, and Johnny Winter's drummer. Several months ago I found a good vinyl copy with original halographic cover at a small local vinyl shop.

I haven't scanned the full email thread so apologies if I'm repeating an earlier suggestion, but how about a bit of Kraut Rock and the 1973 classic from Faust (Faust IV)?

Definitely worth a listen if you've not heard it before... personal favourites: 'It's a bit of a pain' and 'Lauft...Heisst Das Es Lauft Oder Es Kommt Bald..Lauft'

Picked up the 2010 remaster of this one recently and enjoying it very much. Great album! especially the title song.

I just happened to listen to that yesterday. Great record. Another to consider apart from "Are you Experienced" is "Valleys of Neptune":

Hi Tim
IF you can get a copy
Foreigner
with the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus. It's a box set with 2 vinyl LPs, DVD,CD.
NOT Foreigner just as a band but as the name suggest  with orchestra and chorus
it's well worth getting. I was Amazed how good it is, But I am a fan of theirs (the recording is ex)

Jonathan


Reflex M, Solo (both with PSU-1) CuSat50, Lautus, Spatia & Spatia links cables. Ortofon Bronze.

A little midwest Americana, Ann Arbor's own Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band "Live Bullet". 2 record set that rocks. Listened to it last night with the Accession and I felt I was at the concert.

The album is well produced and the sound took me back to a time and place I'll never forget. just a great album.
