1970's progressive rock band from Cologne/Köln, Germany. Satin Whale started as a largely instrumental band, playing long tracks with keyboards, flute and majestic arrangements. Songs became more and more the focus of albums as they went on, and tracks got shorter (excepting the live double). Throughout their history Satin Whale retained a distinctive and unique style. Studio Album, released in 1974 1. Desert Places (6:48) - Dieter Roesberg / guitars, alto saxophone, flute, lead vocals

First album by this rather late Krautrock band was undoubtedly their very best one.
Actually the only point of criticism one could quote is the fact that it might have
sounded already a bit dated in its year of release. Being much in the vein of early
Tull, Iron Butterfly, Cream or The Doors the tracks presented here are a wonderful
demonstration of this early Art Rock or Proto-Prog style. The title song is the one
reminding the most to Tull with a soaring flute and heavy organ. It's a very powerful
and grooving one with a sort of psychedelic blues guitar play that's bringing Cream
back to mind. "Seasons Of Life" is even in a stronger psychedelic vein, kinda The
Doors meet Cream or Iron Butterfly, very groovin' stuff as well. This record doesn't
let your foot stand still only for one second. Though it might be not considered as
that much progressive for the year of 1974 "Desert Places" was nevertheless a
brilliant album in organ driven Art Rock typical for beginning seventies.Probably not essential for any prog collector in general, but highly recommended for fans of jammin' and groovin' early 70s psychedelic blues rock!  "Unclear
Frequencies", the new Yousef Kawar album released by Reverse Alignment,
unveils a mesmerizing and introspective side of Kawar's musical
repertoire. With a profound sense of meditation and a touch of enigmatic
allure, this collection of eight tracks captivates listener, guiding
the attention towards the intricate depths of psyche. Each composition
serves as a portal, drawing us into a mesmerizing sonic landscape where
hidden mysteries beckon and unanswered questions linger. In this
ethereal sonic tapestry without a center of attraction, Yousef Kawar
expertly manipulates the elements of sound, creating an atmosphere that
is both haunting and enchanting. The music lingers in the air,
delicately weaving its way into our thoughts, evoking a sense of
pulverized introspection. It invites us to embrace the enigma and the
unknown, to delve into those small psychic dark areas we often overlook.
