Connexion - French-Canadian hardrock band from Quebec, Canada. Heavy psych rock (a la Led Zeppelin) with some interesting progressive elements. Killer wah wah and fuzz… with vocals in French! Very difficult to find the original album, even in the Montreal area. Their only LP! One of the best hardrock LPs out of Canada in 1975.

Lights Out is the sixth studio album by the British rock band UFO, released in May and also on October 11, 1977. All songs are band originals except for "Alone Again Or" which is a cover of a song by the band Love. The album was UFO's first to feature lush string arrangements alongside more complex song structures than their previous albums. Producer Ron Nevison brought in Alan McMillan to handle the string and horn arrangements. The most notable song to feature the orchestral coloring was "Love to Love" which became one of the bands most successful singles.

Three long tracks of lyrical lite progressive jazz rock with plenty of flute, guitar, and sax solos - always pleasant and never grating…

Fans and critics alike seemed to have a difficult time getting a handle on Thompson's new direction, which, for the most part, eschews the electric guitar that had been an integral part of the British folk-rock he had helped forge with his former band Fairport Convention. With the exception of a couple of short instrumental breaks and various electric shadings, Thompson's Stratocaster defers to accordions, fiddles, whistles, dulcimers, harps, and his own acoustic guitar…

Amaze Me started out with the self-titled debut album on the Japanese based Alfa Brunette label in 1995. The way that it all happened gave the project it's name - Amaze Me. The Rumours of the Japanese release led to the boys landing a deal with the Now And Then label who released the second album ”Dream On” in 1997. The swedes have always been good at this thing… AOR that is. Amaze Me are no exception to the rule, they have created a good album. Most of the songs are absolute gems, like "Danger","It's All Over" and "Hold On To Love" to name a few.
