    Pete Brown & Piblokto - any thoughts?

    I've never thought of their music as very interesting, but today I was in the mood for this album:

    How are their albums - or Pete Browns output in general (minus that with Cream & jack Bruce)

    I try to get into these, but alas, never really make it all the way through.

    A Meal....., Things May Come......, and Thousands On A Raft are all essential, imo, acknowledging that they're all patchy. Definitive late 60s/70s progressive musical eccentricity, a residue of psych but lurching toward ..... something else.

    Personally, I prefer the two Battered Ornaments album, even if Brown got kicked out for their second album

    AFA Piblokto is concerned, I tend to prefer their first one, because Raft has got too much lengths (feels too much like jams, if memory serves)
    my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

    That Spitfire Head Woman should have been on Blind Faith as the lead off track replacing Had to cry today.

    Aeroplane Head Woman. I dunno about Blind Faith, but it wouldn't have been out of place on a Jack Bruce LP.

    Yes, but would it have improved the LP? The song may have benefited from Jack's vocals but which song on Harmony Row would you discard?
    Anyway I don't think Jack would do a cover of it, he wouldn't want to upset Pete!

    How were relmations between Pete and Ginger, though? couldn't have been as bad as between Jack and Ginger...

    None. Replace "To Isengard" from Songs for a Tailor

    I like the Raft album, but haven't listened to it for about two decades.
