Michael Hoenig: Departure From the Northern Wasteland

Well worth seeing! Saw them couple times recently.

I have experimented with using dowsing rods to select the next cd to play...

Finally got around to picking up a copy of Robert Wyatt's 'Different Ever Time' cd set. I have nearly everything on the first cd already - but it provides a very fine 'best of' playlist (even if it...

Sad news; he is on many a very fine album in my collection.

Some fine weather recently has triggered some Incredible String Band - the first 3 albums and Fit & Limo's Folly Is An Endless Maze and As Above So Below
Tin Machine and Schulze have also featured...

Thank you Battema. All added to my wish list for future reference!

I think all Klaus Schulze's 70 albums are superb - I've just bought his '95 album In Blue and would be interested in which of his later albums people rate.

I don't have a blu-ray player - so not an attractive deal for me - another over-priced cash in.

The Jam were the late 70s band to really pick up the Who torch- mod sensibility and all. Setting Sons is even a bit of a concept album. Weller is a fine songwriter.

Sad indeed. Always loved Come Up and See Me.

I think prog evolved in a number of steps. Personally I've always thought Sgt Pepper was the key point when being clever became cool.

Just bought the Can live in Paris cd. It is excellent as others have said elsewhere in P.E.

^^^ Good review- gave the cd a spin this morning. I prefer the two albums either side of it - but its pretty good.

I only have 70s Klaus Schulze stuff, but do have the first 8 of La Vie Electronique which is an excellent parrallel universe of his stuff back then. Edgar Froese's solo albums are good too.

Living through it in the UK in the late 70s, and a bit of fan of 60s music such as the Kinks (though I was into the Moody Blues and other progish stuff), I found the back to basics of punk very...

The secret is to live in your own fantasy world with things you like around you, be they prog or punk. But not rap.

I do find these lists helpful - as one can work out which albums there is consensus about - though even better if folks can explain why they have picked their favourites.

/\/\ More Allmany on the 2nd album maybe...?

I enjoy Agitation Free very much - little bit of an Allman brothers vibe when they are improvising I think. Ash R Tempel and Schulze are big favourites of mine too-and the Cosmic Jokers spin-offs.

This looks promising

I bought the plain Atomhenge box set of the four Charisma albums some while back. Interesting period - will make do with that!

One of those bands I completly lost interest in when punk came along. Never really got back into them.

Alan Hull: Singing A Song in the Morning- The demos 1967-70

The Tales Of Father Robin Book 1
Beatles Red and Blue Albums - new versions

^^^ I cant be doing with National Anthems now.

I'd like to see Oasis in, if just to see the Gallagher brothers scrapping at the ceremony... but really for Noel's wonderful songwriting.

I have an album somewhere called, I think "The New Messiah" which was a rock version. I forget who did it.

Book Two has arrived and I do think this is a wonderful album- some great tunes and sounds! Really looking forward to the other bits.

The Chronicles of Father Robin; The Tales etc book 2 - I'm impressed with this - cant wait for the others to arrive.
Zappa: Sleep Dirt
Bowie: Tonight

So sad, but we will never forget him.

There's the odd clip on Youtube, I think. Saw them at Exeter. Got the T-shirt!

vocals remind me of Fruupp.

I'm no expert on music- but if any composer was in a class of his own, it was surely Bach.

Just ordered this lot. I have enjoyed the Wobbler albums I picked up recently.

Steve Hillage: live at Bataclan '79
Wobbler: Afterglow.
Both newly arrived in the post!

Double cd Steve Hillage live at Bataclan 1979 has arrived from the Planet Gong Bazaar today. Good to have live versions of some of the Open material like 'The Fire Inside' (a personal favourite of...

False flag attacks- wreaks of conspiracy theories and Qanon research

Sounds like someone has been doing some 'research'. Oh dear.

Wobbler -last 3 albums in rotation
Klaus Schulze: Body Love La Vie Electonique 3
The Smile : Wall of Eyes
Lankum: The Livelong Day& False Lankum

The last 3 Wobbler albums

Wobbler: From Silence to Somewhere

Never been a huge fan of brass sounds - prefer flutes and strings

Only been here a couple years but love the intellgent writing and I have discovered all sorts of musical avenues to explore!

Mike Oldfield's Ommadawn otherwise I drift towards Tull and folk rockers.

Good review-picks out the things that struck me about the album!

Bowie: Scary Monsters & Let's Dance
Hawkwind: Doremi etc and In Search Of Space
Cosmic Jokers: Planeten Sit-in
Fit & Limo: Astralis

^^^^ Thank you- a great track- so pleased he did it live when I saw him last year!

^^^^^ To confuse things even more, on the The Fire Inside from Open there is a Dave Stewart keyboard solo that I think I saw somewhere as being the Egg Stewart - sounds like him - but we probably...

I see another Steve Hillage live album is coming out in February - live in Paris from the 'Open' era. Needless to say I have pre-ordered it. The Open cd (so including the Studio Herald stuff) has...

Klaus Schulze: La Vie Electronique volume 8. This completes my exploration of Schulze's 70s work and I think here I will stop -unless I find a compelling argument to explore his later works,

Saw them in the late 70s at university!

/\/\/\ If you get rid of the vinyl it's a bugger to get them back if you change your mind- but if you keep them you can always get rid of them....

Guru Guru - UFO
Zappa - Bongo Fury

^^^^^ I'm guessing the Gong box will be live stuff. I have several live sets by then now - must say not sure how many more I need...

Meanwhile I've been listening to Gowen & co's Before A Word is...

^^^ Interesting mix of sounds there. I like it.

Taking my Xmas decorations down to the magnificent Of Queues & Cures, already been through Missing Pieces and the first album. Caravan's Land of Grey and Pink has also had a spin in last couple days.

Interesting review, full of insights. Will dig the album out for a fresh listen.

Recent posts have highlighted what I think was key about Zappa's humour; I don't think his records would have sold bugger all without a measure humour and controversy across his career. Who wanted to...
