Re: Ode to the Concept Album - Mooniverse Show #53
Hi there Dale, my contribution:
Magma is pretty much a concept band. Beyond MDK you may also consider:
Köhntarkösz - 1974
Ẁurdah Ïtah - 1974
K.A. - 2004
Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré - 2009
Ẁurdah Ïtah and MDK are movements 2 and 3 of a larger set called Theusz Hamtaahk. The first movement was never recorded.
There are 2 concept albums by Hawkwind based on Michael Morcocks's writings:
Warrior on the Edge of Time - 1974
The Chronicle of the Black Sword - 1985
Though the last one may not qualify as prog...
And speaking of Hawkwind:
Robert Calvert - Dr. Lockheed and the Starfighters - 1974
The first two LP by Area are concept albuns:
Arbeit Macht Frei - 1973
Caution Radiation Area - 1974
More from Italy:
Museo Rosenbach - Zarathrusta - 1973
Blocco Mentale - POA - 1973
Within Krautrock I only know nof this strange effort:
German Oak - German Oak - 1972
But there's more from Germany:
Eloy - Dawn - 1976
Eloy - Ocean - 1977
Eloy - Colours - 1980
Eloy - Planets - 1981
Triumvirat - Illusions on a Double Dimple - 1973
Triumvirat - Spartacus - 1975
José Cid made two concept albums, of which only one became globally notorious:
Cantamos Pessoas Vivas - 1975
10 000 Anos Depois Entre Vénus e Marte - 1978
That's all I can remember for now.
