spacciathemax Ciao a tutti! This is a great CD: 1640 by the German band Whirlwind. The historical concept and powerful music create a really positive vibe for the listener. I really like these guys because, while they follow the path blazed by 80s bands like Running Wild, Heaven’s Gate, X-Wild, and Iced Earth, they don't just copy them.They’ve developed their own well-defined sound. They aren't quite on the level of Triumpher or Eternal Champion yet, but they’ll get there with time because they are damn good. Favorite track: Winds Of Ash And Dust.

DenpaFuzz Raw songs are soaked in acid blues on a journey to the time when L.S.D. would open the minds of some young, long-haired guys full of hope on the California Coast back in the late 60s. With blues as the theme, the narcotic and rough songs of this impressive debut are colored by corrosive riffs and smoky atmospheres in a sound kaleidoscope with a clear vintage aroma.

lloydd A shout out to Mr Steve Rodger for this find.Psych/blues with fantastic guitar work and sweet female vocals. Smooth as silk but don't be fooled this has that special ingredient swagger.
Favorite track: The Stray.

Steve Rodger Very nice guitar tone along with effortless blues tinged vocals, really love this. Vinyl ordered…

paulwolski i have a cassette copy of "Carry the Torch" that I've had since around '85/'86. i recorded it from an album that a friend of mine had while we were in the Army stationed in Germany. i had so many cassettes that over the years I had thrown almost all of them away but I kept this one because I really liked it and I couldn't find it anywhere. I had periodically checked everywhere online but nothing.. What's funny is just this week I bought a cassette deck at Goodwill and transferred this and some other cassettes to computer, then to CD. I was pretty happy I was able to listen to this again, first time since the 80's! Then the next day I find this!!! Had to buy it. But I am so happy with my saved version too, it has a little snap, crackle, pop, but really not much, and I recorded it on a good quality metal tape so it sounds really kickass. Looking forward to hearing the rest these songs. Favorite track: Nite Flyer.
