"Bedlam" - a British rock band, among the current music fans known for the fact that it knocked on the drums of the famous Cozy Powell. The rest of the musicians, if they became famous, then in very narrow circles. The history of the English band Bedlam The English band "Bedlam "(so named in association with the London psychiatric hospital) It was formed in 1972 by guitarist David Ball and the now legendary but then little-known drummer Cozy Powell. The latter played in the band after leaving the "Jeff Beck Group", and before starting his own band "Cozy Powell's Hammer". The band also included bassist Dennis Ball, who had previously played with John Baldry, and vocalist Francesco Aiello (full name Francesco Aiello). Initially, the quartet was called "The Beast", but then it turned out that there was already an ensemble with this name in America, and the group had a new name - "Bedlam". The band worked in the style of hard rock with the beginnings of heavy metal, a classic example of which was the band's only self-titled album, released in 1973. It was produced by the famous singer, composer and musician Felix Pappalardi, who previously released the albums "Cream", and later founded the group"Mountain".

AARDVARK-AARDVARK-1970-FIRST PRESS UK (PROMO) - DERAM NOVA-SDN17. Mega rare British original hard-prog-blues cult band. Aardvark – (1970) The one-album English band took as their name a term denoting a representative of the tropical fauna-the African anteater. In the late 60s and early 70s, during the musical rock boom, a huge number of bands released one or two albums. Many of these groups often imitated already known artists, a number of groups tried to experiment with sound, but due to the lack of professionalism and talent, their music was of little interest to anyone... But still, many were not deservedly forgotten, as the material released by these teams was sometimes very interesting, and often did not concede or even surpass in quality, the then monsters from rock... One of these teams was the Aardvark group. On July 11, 1969, Aardvark, Blodwyn Pig and The Good Earth, along with THE Soft Machine, participated in Midnight Rave No. 3 at the Classic Theatre. Prior to recording the only album produced by David Hitchcock, the band featured keyboardist Paddy Coulter, who was replaced by multi-instrumentalist Steve Milliner. Around the same time, Milliner helped create the album Barbed Wire Sandwich (1970 Nova) by Simon Kirke and Paul Kossoff's Black Cat Bones.The main burden in the band, which worked without a guitarist, fell on the shoulders of keyboardist Steve Milliner. His inventive playing with bassist Stan Aldous is one of the obvious advantages of the disc, which was released in March 1970 on the branch of Deram Records Nova. The combination of organ, bass guitar and percussion evokes the Aardvark band Egg and anticipates the future compositions of Emerson, Lake , Palmer - The Greencap. On the disc, Copper Sunset stands out with a great, wrong bass part and the epic blues thing Many Things To Do, as if it came here from the Cream storerooms, but the best is the old-fashioned Once Upon A Hill with spectacular celesta parts.Subsequently, vocalist Dave Skillin discovered another talent. He took up writing the lyrics, and from his pen came the lyrics of the album Alchemist - 1973 CBS band Home. The further fate of the musician is covered with the darkness of time. ...more
