Whitemail (Pre Klaatu) - (I'm) Dreamdaying/Lonely Lover [7" single]

Terry Draper and John Woloschuk were both member of the band Whitemail before forming Klaatu together with Dee Long. Whitemail released only one single in 1971. Both tracks were written by John Woloschuk (under a pseudonym M. Phlumpe).

Many Klaatu related recordings are available on CD. Those that are not are getting harder and harder to find. The most difficult to find is the Whitemail single

Rubber Universe - Parliament of Fooles

As a former Alan Parsons Project cover band you can imagine wich band was a big inspiration. 

Besides the fact that APP makes a big mark, what else do you expect with contributions from Eric Woolfson and Ian Bairnson, there are also influences from Clannad, Klaatu and the Moody Blues without being too obvious. It all remains original.

Outside

320 Kbps CD rip

A singer/Songwriter of considerable talent, Dee Long paid his dues as a member of Klaatu, the enigmatic prog-rock band of the 70's.The experience wasn't lost on Dee, who continues to write and perform music that is just a little left of the main stream, and very much influenced by pop culture

Outside features a collection of quirky and imaginative tunes drawn from a far reaching variety of subjects.From the quest for the meaning of life, through the latest issue of MAD magazine, to the larger than life rock icon, this album navigates the netherworlds of the imagination, while exploring the cutting edge of music technology.

From a musical standpoint, Outside is a wonderful collage of influences from the psychedelic 60's to the 21st century, each explored and experimented with through the ears of a man who know's what he likes, and refuses to be pigeon holed into an easily identified category.Klaatu fans will be amazed at how much of the bands vision Dee Long has managed to maintain two decades after the band pasted into the mists of music history.

Terry Draper
Civil War (and other love songs)

©2001 Magentalane Music BLP-CD 4030

Available at Terrydraper.com

Ex-Klaatu frontman Terry Draper has always had a fascination with the American Civil War, so he finally decided to write a handful of songs on the subject and group them together on one loosely conceptual album. “Loosely,” because the project still allows for other songs, like “All Over Morocco” and “One More Kiss”. The idea holds up better on the (not very) minialbum but its a good effort.

TRACKS: 1. The Underture / 2. Civil War (Not Very) / 3. When I Grow Up / 4. All Over Morocco / 5. It's Over / 6. Rosey's Bordello / 7. Hello... / 8. Me And You / 9. Dixie / 10. Anywhere But Here / 11. The Junction / 12. One More Kiss / 13. Civil War - The Reprise (...If You Want It!)

Light Years Later

Terry Draper rose to success in virtual anonymity as the drummer of the 1970's trio Klaatu, which caused a stir throughout the music business when their mysterious 1976 self-titled debut sparked massive media conjecture that the group was, in fact, a reconstituted Beatles. The album became a major hit, but when Klaatu was finally revealed to be a Canadian band with no real connection to the Fab Four their success waned. Klaatu disbanded in 1981.

-

Draper returned to music in 1997 with the release of his solo debut Light Years Later, which featured guest appearances by his former Klaatu mates Dee Long and John Woloschuk.

Klaatu Tribute CD

various artists

Long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...three musicians banded together and created some of the most amazing tunes ever to grace the celestial heavens. Their identities kept secret for a while, they were simply known at the time as "Klaatu." The band's first album 3:47 EST reverberated across the universe and caused a crack in the cosmic egg as their music sounded undeniably "Beatleseque." Beatle fans began their own magical mystery tour of sorts looking for clues in Klaatu's music and album covers if only to prove that both Klaatu and Beatles were the same musicians. But alas, over time it was eventually revealed to them that the "Beatleseque" group consisted of three very talented Canadian musicians by the names of John Woloschuk, Terry Draper and Dee Long.
