Cromagnon was an American experimental band that was active during the late 1960s.
Led by multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriters Austin Grasmere and Brian Elliot,
the band released their one and only self-titled album

(later reissued as "Cave Rock" and also as "Orgasm") in 1969 on the ESP-Disk record label.
Cromagnon is said to have foreshadowed the rise of noise rock, no wave and industrial rock genres

that came into existence in the following decades.
Their album combined psychedelia, folk rock and noise with primitive instrumentation (including sticks and stones).
It was recorded at A-1 Sound Studio in the Upper West Side of New York City in 1969.
Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" technique, of which producer Brian Elliot was a fan, heavily influenced the album's sound.
During recording, band members brought in random people from the street and asked them to contribute to the album.
The result was a non-linear journey through the subconscious,

weaving together bizarre instrumentation and meter with a psychotic blending of musical styles.
Bagpipes, pounding percussion, blood-curdling yelps, tribal chanting, laughing, and billowing subterranean rumblings

create the otherworldly soundscape of an album that was ridiculously ahead of its time.

The Nazgûl – The Nazgûl (1997)

Country: England

Tracklist

1. The Tower Of Barad-Dûr 12:31
2. The Dead Marshes 12:41
3. Shelob's Lair 12:16
4. Mount Doom 09:02

A 1997 release on the British Psi-Fi label that supposedly stored recordings from the krautrock archives

of British producer, composer and recording engineer Toby Hrycek-Robinson (aka The Mad Twiddler), 

whilst he was working at various Cologne area studios in Germany during the 1970s.
Six albums from these archives, were issued on the Psi-Fi label in the 90s

all said to have been originally published on Robinson's private label Pyramid back in the 70s.
Obviously the lack of solid proof of the existence of these albums created a controversy

whether these releases were really recorded in the 70s or were 90s UK hoaxes.
The Nazgûl consisted of three members named Frodo, Gandalf (possibly Toby Hrycek-Robinson) and Pippin.
The whole concept is Tolkien inspired with weird trippy organ experimentations, acoustic, concrete noises,

gongs, tape loops and guitar manipulations creating a sinister-dissonant soundscape.
Very similar to Tangerine Dream's approach on "Zeit", as if they had to work on an album based on Tolkien mythology.

The recording is allegedly dated in 1975-76 and the 1997 Psi-Fi CD claims to be remastered from the original master tapes.
Hoax or not this is a truly amazing release.
