Mice and Rats in the Loft may very well be the greatest psych folk album of all time, or at the very least, neck and neck with Comus-First Utterance. I took the trip tonight and did not want it to...

Does anyone know what album that track was intended for? I also love that little "music box" bit starting at 30 seconds to 36 seconds in.

Haha...top 5 for sure!

I hear ya, man!

1.Little House I Used to Live In(Burnt Weeny Sandwich)
2.Amnerika(Civilization Phase III)
3.The Adventures of Greggery Peccary(Studio Tan)

I just picked up the Shed DVD from Wayside and I also acquired the "Signs" CD single on ebay. Does anyone have any information about the non album track, "Sang all Away Away. It's a fantastic little...

:up

It is a great song, but "Fracture" to me, is their definitive statement.

Top 5 at this very moment:
1.Hatfield and the North-Self Titled
2.Hatfield and the North-Rotters Club
3.Robert Wyatt-Rock Bottom
4.Egg-Civil Surface
5.Caravan-Land of Grey and Pink/Soft...

I am currently looking a two possibilities.
1.Project Carbon Espirit with upgrade which includes acrylic platter, built in speed box and 2M Ortofon Blue for $800.00.
2.Thorens TD 203 with 2M...

You got that for a great price! It's long out of print and is extremely difficult to find. Carve out a few hours and put Songs From the Wood on the HiFi while you delve into this book and escape the...

I'm not a huge fan of Benefit, but I'm really enjoying "Sossity". It has some interesting harmonic progressions and Ian plays with tonality ie... minor/major modality. It's beautifully written and...

Yep. That is the definitive version.

Thanks Frank. It looks like I have by bases covered other than a need to upgrade my Nursery Cryme copy(DE). For some strange reason, the Wind and Wuthering(DE) sounds much better to my ears than the...

Nah. When I need advice about the virtues of analog playback, I'll ask rcarlberg.;)

Fuck Walmart you poser!!:rofl

:lol

Beginning with Trespass and ending with Duke. Thanks

I played "Minstrel in the Gallery" last night and was blown away at how incredible it is. Not only is the playing top notch, but also the arrangements/compositions. "Cold Wind To Valhala", "Black...

:ipa

Why does this glorious instrument continue to play a diminished role in music performance and composition. I know first hand the pitfalls ie......keeping the bugger in tune but it provides such...

As of today, I have kept "Stand Up" through "Heavy Horses". I used to be really fond of "Roots to Branches" but the whole eastern/India vibe wears thin after awhile. As Ian's voice continues to...

After further research, George's Boogie is just a re-vamped version of Debra Kadabra.

That's fantastic!! Thanks, Walt.

I'm not a big of most of his work, but due to it being on Zappa's Straight label, I gave it a listen and was blown away. Zappa is quoted as saying, "I don't get it and that is why I am going to sign...

I just found out about this unreleased Zappa track and was wondering if any of you fanatics have ever heard it? From what I've been able to gather, it is indeed a composed piece that premiered during...

What do you guys think of the Split Enz tune? Am I right or am I nucking futs?

1.Terraced Garden-All 3 releases
2.Master Cylinder-Elsewhere
3.Maneige-Montreal, 6 am

I had a few minutes of free time this evening and decided to spin some Robert Wyatt 7" singles. First up was "At Last I am Free" three times followed be "Shipbuilding". Neither one was written by...

I was spinning some Split Enz today and I reckon they could've been an influence on Tim Smith and the crew. One track in particular that comes to mind is "Betty" from the Frenzy album. Those chord...

Let me preface by first saying that I love me some Tull and their 70's oeuvre still stands up. While reading up on all the fanfare and clamoring that the Steven Wilson remixes have garnered, I...

I've been spinning Master Cylinder on repeat for the past couple of days and it certainly has that Canterbury flavor. What a fantastic record and unfortunately, the only one that they released(on...

Fantastic band!! Does anyone know where I can score a copy of "Sane Day"? Sumbitch seems to be put of print.

I'm with Walt regarding the above post. Seven doesn't get enough love around here. "Carol Ann" is in my humble opinion, the most beautiful piece Jenkins ever wrote. While were on the topic of genius...

If this isn't one of the greatest pieces of recorded music ever composed, arranged and recorded, I would like to know what is. Also, the melodic line has to be one of the most convoluted and insanely...

Being a teacher/musician/father of two doesn't afford me much of an opportunity to really get inspired much anymore. As a matter of fact, I have been weeding a significant amount of my music...

Unorthodox Behavior and Moroccan Roll

I'm looking to buy MFSL CD's and Lp's.

All sold!!

So bad, even Kit Watkins and Phil Collins couldn't save it. Phil Collins ruined Camel!!

Hip hop has its place, just not on my CD shelves.

To be honest, I do like "Onward" which really resonates with me now, due to the passing of Mr. Squire.

I revisited this today and my thoughts on this festering turd hasn't changed. It's a fucking mess from beginning to end. To my ears, it sounds like a tape being dubbed at high speed.

"My Goals Beyond" is the best album he ever put out. It encapsulates everything I hold sacred about the beauty of music.

While listening to Ian's(Zombywoof) radio show, Mike Keneally requested this track to be played. All I can say is WOW!! I knew Kimarja was an excellent musician(he played in Thinking Plague for God's...

To Jubal: It is extremely important to read the initial post, before offering up an opinion about said post. This also applies to you Scrotum. I don't think that Tull should be classified as a symph...

I've been on a Tull kick of late(this doesn't normally happen until the Autumn months) but I digress. I can't help but notice the extreme lack of not only Mellotron, but also 12 string acoustic. The...

Le Foto Prohibite is stellar from beginning to end. As I stated a few posts back, one of the compositions that didn't make the cut is a piece called, "Doricamente". It's two minutes of heaven...

Have you seen the compliation that Cherry Red put out a couple years ago that features Alessandroni and his I Cantori Moderni ensemble. It is a wonderful anthology of pieces that the octet performed...

This has been one of the best threads on PE for a long time. Thanks Frankie! Anyway, I wanted to mention a couple of soundtracks that haven't been mentioned yet. The first one is, "The Red Tent"...

On their 2nd album, "I Sing the Body Electric", Ralph Tower has a gorgeous solo to introduce the Shorter tune, "The Moors".

I've been spinning "True Love" on repeat mode today. What a great track!! Fuck the naysayers that think experimental music can't be fun and melodic.

Guitar extraordinaire for such luminaries as Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Public Image Limited can do no wrong in my book. I was just listening to Juju by SatB and the first two tracks,...

I was just spinning "Swimming in the Wind" and can't believe he is not discussed more often on this site. He is a true visionary and ranks up there with Zappa and Frith as my favorite guitar players...

I was listening to Cheap at Half the Price(ESD pressing) and the track "True Love" is a marvel of songwriting on so many levels. This track wasn't on the original release. Mr. Frith never ceases to...

Matching mole-Immediate Curtain. Those fat mellotron chords are stunning!
