His powerful, expressive voice earned him the position as the first great Southern psyche singer, and breathed new life into the psyche genre, gap the door for a new, more than seductive style of psyche music.

At the tallness of his success and popularity in 1974, Aluminum Green was attacked by a former girlfriend Virgin Mary Woodson, who broke into his house and threw a bowl of boiling hot porridge over him as he showered, inflicting 2nd grade Burns on his stomach, weaponry and back.

Kaipa

Mindrevolutions (2005)

After listening to Kaipa’s “Keyholder”, what I did some time ago, this album of the Swedish symphonic prog band appears to be tiresome and colourless. Of course, “Mindrevolutions” is interesting enough, but if I wouldn’t listen to “Keyholder” before, I definetely wouldn’t draw such a rapt attention to Kaipa. “Keyholder” has delighted me completely with its first cords, while “Mindrevolutions” is just not bad enough album that additionally requires a certain mood for comfortable listening. If you like symphonic prog already, I think you’ll like this album. But if you unfamiliar to this style, “Mindrevolutions” is not a proper place to start with it. At least, listen to “Keyholder” at first. Reviewed by Igor Brynskich.

Dio

Holy Diver (1983)

This classical hard rock work was recorded in so far 1983. By that time Ronnie James Dio (frontman of the same-named band) had a rich music experience. He appeared on five classic studio albums (three with Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow and two with Black Sabbath) released in the late 70’s and early 80’s. “Holy diver” was debut album of Dio’s solo project. It’s possible to compare this album with examination: Dio should demonstrate his possibility to write good music without a guardianship of such rock monsters as Black Sabbath or Rainbow. And he has passed this examination with excellence: “Holy Diver” became classical hard rock album. Everybody who likes hard rock should have this album in the collection. Highly recommended.
