A MUST HEAR!  Exquisite Kraut Folk-  Amon Duul II Paradieswärts Düül [1970]

John Phillips - (John, Wolf King of L.A.) (1969)

The first solo album from the Mamas & Papas premier member.  Some of the finest compositions he ever penned as well...A laid-back drugged-out country feel (he seems completely out of it on hard and heavy drugs) with top session musicians make for a SPECTACULAR album. DIG!   Download - Here

Exuma - Vol. 1 (1970)

A bit of a combination of Bahamian Folk music, and Dr. John at his most voodoo-ed and gris-gris-ed out.  Difficult to categorize, but AMAZING!  Download - Here

Cybotron - Enter (1983)

The Godfather of Techno Juan Atkin's first full-length under the name Cybotron.  A benchmark in the advent of electronic music.    Download - Here

Legendary Norwegian black metal demi-gods Darkthrone display exactly why allmusic.com calls Transilvanian Hunger  "a totally irresistible aural assualt..."  ps...in case you are not familiar with the Norwegian black metal scene of the early 90s, these guys actually did some of the horrifying things they describe in their music (murder, devil-worship, church-burning, etc.)  WICKED!!!!  Download - Here

The Grodeck Whipperjenny (1970)

David Matthews (early 70s arranger and writer for James Brown) and this Cinncinati-based group of jazz musicians flex their funk and rock chops on their one and only album for the Godfather of Soul.  A wild and funky ride.  Dig!  Download - Here
