JOY UNLIMITED — Reflections (1973-2007) Two Version | FLAC (image+.tracks+.cue), lossless

1973 singer Joy had already quit the group and Ken Traylor had joined instead. As Joy Unlimited consisted of highly talented and accepted musicians, they were offered an appointment for another ballet work, this time at the Mannheim Nationaltheater. The final result of this project was the album ”Reflections”. As the Pilz label did not exist any more, the LP was released on BASF. According to the Freeman brothers it is redolent of Raw Material and Gravy Train. There are to be heard jazz, blues, and a few folk influences, the thread through the work, however, is progressive rock. With flute, saxophone, and a lot of keyboard sounds. A Russian bootleg CD was released in 2004, with a fusty sound and without any bonus tracks. This legal release now contains ten bonus tracks, two from their 1972 single and eight as yet unreleased tracks from 1971 and 1972, all of them of a crystal-clear sound quality. GOD

JOY UNLIMITED — Minne (1975-2008) Two Version | FLAC (image+.tracks+.cue), lossless

In 1970 Manuela, Tiny, Thom and Wolfgang were living and playing together in Munich. Under the name of Siloah they released a now highly sought-after LP whose master tapes are lost. In 1993 it was released on CD for the first time (Lost Pipedreams LP 013 CD), but unsufficiently decrackled and without any bonus tracks. Now at last there is a flawless re-issue of it including everything recorded at that time - even the track from the extremely rare "Release" sampler as well as their 7'' "Mit Tiny nach Tanger", of which only one copy was made. But what is most impressive is the 28-page booklet in colour, which leaves nothing to be desired. Siloah’s second album, "Sukram Gurk", recorded with a new line-up in 1972, is soon to follow. Dag Erik Asbjørnsen: "Siloah made two LPs, regarded as among the most frenzied on the German underground scene." GOD
