Glad to hear Winnie is on the mend.


Love this album, by far my favourite of his solo works. Wave after blissful wave.

Mike Howlett was in the Gong line up about 5 years ago when I saw him live - still awesome

My first view of Hillage was a bit like this, but from a lower vantage point & in glorious sun drenched colour. I'm probably just out of shot on the left hand side. Hyde Park '76.

Hillage knew exactly what he was doing with this album. His sense of porpoise was spot on.
