Thanks Kath.

Fuck me, this is some hippy shit!

Yes, it's that good!

I remember watching Steve Hillage on Rock goes to College in about 1980. I spent a decade or more thinking he'd written Hurdy Gurdy Man.

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.








Edited to include the photo.

Excellent!

[Nancy]

Just beautiful.

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

that gweetar coming in did indeed have the sound of an echoing sea critter.

yep, trippy, bubbly, watery fade out.

now fissssshes

[Nancy]

A very Gong-y interlude.

Just a hint of a blue wail to be heard spouting off.

Very Pink Floyd.

Indeed. The good PF, dealers in sound textures.

I’m dust sorry that he scrapped his punk-influenced follow up, Never Mind The Pollocks.
