The Spanish Progressive Rock Encyclopedia:
Pysch group with lots of great fuzz guitar. If you like psych, this band is for you. En Directo is a live album.
"Why?" is a classic item of the spanish progressive psycheledia. The track that gives name to the album, dividided in two halves of 12 and 13 minutes is a delirant track of hammond and distorted guitars that fly very high over athmospheres of other galaxy. As usually happened with psych music, sometimes looses direction in benefit of experimentation, but no complaining about it. The second album was recorded live with new themes and with a full change in the line-up: only Enrique Herrera (Hammond) remaIned from their first record. The sound is different, a wind section appeared, and it's less experimental but good as well.
The album "En directo" was recorded live in Barcelona, July 1972 except tracks 9 and 10 recorded in studio in November 1971. In addition to the line-up, they had other collaborations: Carlos Benavent (Bass), Hubert Grillberger (Trumpet, vocals), and Peter Rohr(Saxo).
In 2004 the band rejoined with Batiste, Cabanach plus Toni Saigi at the keyboards and Quim Viaplana on drums. With this line-up they returned to the stages.
Cosmic dreams:
This group made one of the most legendary German private pressings. It is now incredibly rare and its value has risen above 1,000 DEM. The sound of a squeaking mouse opens the album, released on 'Mouse Trick Track Music' (amazing choice of label name!). The album is a thematically linked "Mammut opus", with the word "Mammut" included in all the track titles. A rhythmic and dramatic instrumental overture with wistful flute ("Bird Mammut") and a short interlude for piano ("Classical Mammut") put you in the right mood before the lengthy, heavy guitar riffing tracks "Mammut Ecstasy" and "Footmachine Mammut" strike you' Perhaps Elias Hulk and parts of the first Embryo-album are comparable to this. Side two starts with a "Short Mammut" - sounds of gunfire and bomber planes. "Schizoid Mammut" had violent, paranoid lyrics with music to match. "Nagarn Mammut" is their attempt to be more lyrical. The album closes the same way as it started with large doses of instrumental music ("Mammut Opera"), what Pete Townshend would name a 'underture' The most impressive aspect of this album are all the biting guitar statements woven in-between the vocals. A typical golden artiefact from one of the most fertile years of modern music (1971!) incorporating both classical and heavy acid blues influences. Good production as well, considering it was a private release, so I can only recommend this album to you with great enthusiasm!

Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
Produced by Neil Merryweather, Mama Lion was a group destined to show off the Joplinesque voice of Lynn Carey, a sculptural blonde beauty previously in Ivar Avenue Reunion. As often with the Merryweather outputs, the music is a rather loose mix of blues and rock. Their records are now mostly remembered for their sleeves, especially the first with Lynn Carey breastfeeding a lion cub

A good first up release from this 80's German group. Melodic neo progressive where they don't try and sound like Genesis, Marillion etc. The progressive scene lasted longer than its counterpart in England and continued in Germany well into the eighties.

Wiki: Walls and Bridges is the fifth album by John Lennon, issued on 26 September 1974 in the United States and on 4 October in the United Kingdom. Written, recorded and released during his 18-month separation from Yoko Ono (June 1973–January 1975), the album captures Lennon in the midst of his "Lost Weekend". Walls and Bridges was an American Billboard number one album and featured two hit singles "Whatever Gets You thru the Night" and "#9 Dream", the first of which was Lennon's first number one hit in the United States as a solo artist, and his only chart-topping single in both the US and Britain during his lifetime.
The album was certified silver in the UK, and gold in the US.
Scented Gardens of Mind: Originally a quartet, their group name roughly translates into "The Spoilt Quartet"! Kattvals (1973) was one of the best albums released on Gump. It's completely instrumental, with a tremendous interplay between electric guitar and Hammond organ. Somebody has referred to them as "the Swedish" Santana, but KSS were more related to their domestic colleagues Flдsket Brinner, (early) Kebnekaise and Ablution, interweaving Nordic folk tunes into their powerful rock music.
