Flying Karpet is the 1968 album by Mexican rock band The Flying Karpets. This was taken from a CD release done sometime in the 1990's by Discos CUltura, S.A.

This Mexican band's mega-rare album from 1968 has recently been reissued (a ldt. ed. pressing of 300) making it accessible to a wider audience. It's mostly cover versions of material like White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane), San Francisco Nights (Eric Burdon and The Animals), 20th Century Fox (The Doors), and My Back Pages (The Byrds), although there's one original sung in Spanish La Felicidad. A few songs, particulary Mercy, Mercy, Mercy lean toward pop-soul

01. Gimme A Little Sigh
02. La Felicidad
03. White Rabbit
04. Behind A Young Girl Smile
05. 20th Century Fox

Mezquita - Recuerdos de mi Tierra (1979) {2005 Forgotten Tracks}

Mezquita - Recuerdos de mi Tierra (1979) {2005 Forgotten Tracks}
EAC Rip | FLAC with CUE and log | scans | 265 mb
MP3 CBR 320 kbps | RAR | 103 mb
Genre: progressive rock

Recuerdos de mi Tierra is the 1979 album by Spanish progressive rock band Mesquita. This is the 2005 remaster released by Forgotten Tracks.

Mezquita's 'Recuerdos de mi Tierra' is, IMHO, the definite masterpiece of Flamenco oriented prog, and most certainly, one of the highlights of Spanish prog in general. From the beautiful city of Córdoba, Mezquita managed to elaborate a prog style firmly rooted in the Flamenco traditions, and watered by the influential flows of 73-75 Yes (with less meandering), the melodic side of KC, the fire of Rush, and some hints to classic hard rock. The result is simultaneously powerful and exuberant, since the four musicians' skills are top notch. The fluency of the interactions between the guitars and the keys is simply awesome, and so is the precision with which the rhythm section lays the proper foundations for this intrincate, energetic material. The opening title track is per se a manifesto of Mezquita's personal style. The following three tracks are the most explosive ones, full of tempo changes, pyrotechnics (never reaching at a gratuitous level) and genuine enthusiasm (oh!, that chanting/clapping passage right before the end of 'Ara Buza', that is special gypsy magic of Flamenco at its purest) - a special mention goes to the opening instrumental section of 'Desde que Somos Dos', my personal fav. Track 5 is more somber, due to the dark solemnity of the subject (a massive suicide), but still manages to capture the intense magic of South Spanish folk, as well as the band's punchy swing. The fusion touches that were somewhat moderate in previous tracks, emerge more clearly in the instrumental closure - once more, a superb number. The occasional use of a guest string quartet enhances the Arabic air of some compositions (string quartets are very recurrent in Moroccan folk tunes), making the exotic thing compatible with the rock side of Mezquita's music. Well, let me finish by reiterating that this is a Spanish prog gem that should not be missed in any good prog collection.

1. Recuerdos De Mi Tierra (7:47)
2. El Bizco De Los Patios (4:22)
3. Desde Que Somos Dos (5:49)
4. Ara Buza (Dame Un Beso) (4:37)
5. El Suicidio (7:24)
6. Obertura En Si Bemol (6:10)

Cheap Trick - Remake In Color: Unreleased Steve Albini Sessions (2011) {Gypsy Eye Project}

EAC Rip | FLAC with CUE and log | scans | 379 mb

Genre: pop rock, classic rock

Cheap Trick felt their album In Color was inferior on the production side. Years later, they chose to re-record the album with producer Steve Albini. Remake In Color: Unreleased Steve Albini Sessions is a collection of those recordings, released in 2011 on the Gypsy Eye Project label.

On the "Rockline 2003" show, someone called in and asked the band for the history behind this disc, and Bun E. Carlos gave the explanation. The "In Color" album was produced by Tom Werman, but the band always felt that Werman screwed up the album. "He made it safe for radio, but the album sounds like it was done in a cardboard box." So about five years ago [late 1990s] they were in the studio hanging around with the producer Steve Albini, and had nothing to do
for a few days, so they said "Yeah, that would be fun to redo that." So they started re-recording the songs. They have not finished it yet, haven't gotten all the harmonies or instruments on it yet, but someday they might finish it and piggyback release it as a bonus disc with something else..

01. Hello There
02. Big Eyes
03. Downed
04. I Want You To Want Me
05. You're All Talk
06. Oh Caroline
