I've mentioned Frumpy here before. It's one of those bands that I grew up listening to and they were a real
sensation in Germany in the early 70s especially after that 2nd album. Inga Rumpf has actually expanded
her vocal range as she's gotten older - which is kinda weird if you think about it. I was the young guy with
the occasional crush on singers like her, Renate Knaup, and, of course, there's always the Brit, Jenny Haan:

Vintage Inga hits the sweet spot for me because she has this powerful voice but doesn't really engage in those rock histrionics that I often find incredibly annoying.

Just on final track now. I really enjoyed the fusion parts of it and the mellower stuff but found the prog to be a bit annoying. I think maybe I’ve gotten too old and my heart isn’t really open to prog I don’t know already. I was thinking about it recently, and it’s been a long time since I really enjoyed a prog record I haven’t heard before.

Sounding more like a studio-jam by Traffic than full-on prog, Locomotura by Los Blops deserves more mentions on MB than the two it has received so far. Click, read, enjoy!

Speaking of Inga Rumpf, I have a lp CITY PREACHERS " FOLKLORE".
This is anything but prog.
Its AMERICAN-sound.... sorta Peter,Paul & Mary / Pete Seeger-type rubbish.

No date on the lp, but I'd guess maybe 1966.

Ryley Walker And Kikagaku Moyo - Deep Fried Grandeur (2021)

“So, the group game together at Le Guess Who? Festival in Utrecht, Netherlands in 2018. I was asked by the organizers to find another group on the festival to collaborate with for a one off performance. I was immediately drawn to Kikagaku Moyo. We share similar guitar scuzz and riff heavy improvising when playing live. Seemed like the most fun and natural thing to do. I was in the middle of a european tour, so had my full backing band. So with KM and me, 9 mother ****ers total on stage wailing

It was a lot of SOUND. So we passed the live recordings off to cooper crain of CAVE and bitchin bajas to tweak the levels and add some sprinkles. He shaped the raw recordings into a cohesive piece that works for a 40 min slab. We had an afternoon of rehearsal and it mostly just drinking espresso, smoking cigs and saying "man, we'll be fine"

And it was great."

Place is DEAD.

No prog-joy to be gained here.

Sucks.

This rec from grindy is so good, imo, that it is worth repeating.
Here’s a wonderful track, Sasha Grey, from the Singes Electriques album grindy mentioned:



I love the way the piano is our sparkling guide through this long track, during which the rest of the band are throwing everything they can into the mix, sometimes to woo, sometimes to outdo the pianist – but always with absolutely spot-on musicianship.

Searching tips:
La Theorie Des Chordes didn’t easily turn up in my internet searches, partly because they are not well-known yet afaik. You have to be careful about spelling and, because their name is French for “String Theory”, your searches will be clogged up with links to quantum physics, music theory, etc.
Here’s a link to one of the more informative pages I found, on good old Amazon, about an earlier album called Premieres Vibrations:-
