Fruits de Mer Records - Psychedelia, Krautrock, Progressive Rock, Acid-Folk, R&B, Spacerock and Vinyl Heaven

Entries to two members club competitions here:

starting with tracks that are based on a classical theme...
...moving onto prog instrumentals under six minutes long (which could have made the side of a single, even if they didn't)

Trev Faull set the bar high with Mandrake Paddle Steamer, several club members went for the Jethro Tull classic, Andy Butler recommended King Crimson's take on Holst and of course lots of members couldn't fail to ELP it...



Simon Clarke recalled the wonderful Deodato track, Simon Clarke chose an ancestor of Liz. Colin Consterdine voted for the overlooked/rather maligned Ekseption and Andy Young came up with a new one on me in Cailyn Lloyd reinterpreting Vaughan Williams...



Martin Wright recommended the unclassifiable Moondog, John Sewell countered this with.....The Wombles; Steve Hallam came up with Liquid Tension Experiment and Henry Schneider put a word in for Frank Zappa...



...moving onto prog instrumentals under six minutes long (which could have made the side of a single, even if they didn't)

Dave Lovatt suggested Bo Hansson, Robert Simpson chose Focus; meanwhile Trev Faull and Jez cox ventured to the outer edges of prog...



Alan Pearson started things gently and let them build with Chou Pahrot, Matthew Wright goes for the teasmade kings from Italy, Matthew Breach proves that progressice rock was alive and kicking in the 80s and lots of members suggested VDGG's version of Theme One, including this live version recommended by William Smith...



Zil Bareisis gave Stan Tracey his first moments on the FdM site, Mark Colwill and Dale Simpson went for the Keith Mansfield classic (played here by Arzachel), John Sewell stretched a prog point with The Who, Stephen Young hit the nail on the head with Happy The Man..



Clive Williams and Matthias Lang both set phasers to prog, while Till Wolff recommended Gryphon and Greenslade


Iain Davie turned to the strangely-overlooked Genesis double album, Craig Palmer launched The Dillinger Escape Plan and Zappa's Peaches En Regalia (along with Glen Howell), but it was down to Ken Halsey to recommend my funeral song of choice (and no, yodelling and whistling aren't singing, not in my book anyway)

help spread the word!
