Another day in the garden. Phew, I suffered for my art

Townsend rarely mentioned in lists of top guitarists. perhaps it's because he rarely solos.

Pretty successful in the 80s, what do we think now?

Bought it, initially, because it features Skunk Baxter. Actually, it's very good and I usually prefer English psyche. The song titles say it all.
Ego Trip
Sacrifice of the Moon
Plastic Raincoats / Hung-Up Minds
(Ballad of The) Hip Death Goddess
Your Head Is Reeling
Dove in Hawk's Clothing
Baroque #1
Funny Freak Parade
Pamela

Think they released a couple more albums, but this is the only one I own. Well worth a listen. The Kaleidoscope album, by the way, is definitely top 3 psyche fave

The Ultimate Spinach album is the only one I don’t have and you a right about the Kaleidoscope album, it’s excellent.

At last, our paths align! ;) My other two English psyche favourites are (at the moment, anyway) "Tomorrow" and "SF Sorrow".

Sounds better than I remembered.

Weather Report - Night Passage 1980

Thus endeth my Weather Report journey. Fairly good LP, as usual I enjoy the faster tracks more.

Rondo Monstercash
Parts all written out including Jaco's bass line by Zawinul. The fist section is extremely easy to get lost in. Almost completely through composed until the Coda. Amazing. If your not reading and you don't know the piece, you will get lost!


That's what got to Jaco by the tenth - Joe was virtually taking over Jaco's parts... [and creativity]

Both excellent albums.,


Have you seen this book, great for coming across some unknown and excellent 60's and early 70's psychedelic records.

Full colour pages and writeup/reviews on about 100 psych records, best book on psych i've managed to find yet.

No, I've not seen it .....it looks excellent. Would make an ideal October birthday present from Mrs SB. She always says I never give her any ideas, so this should really floor her

Right, the Thursday garden playlist

Only got half way through this. After a shaky start, they really kicked into gear. However, when it reached 32c, I thought I'd better retire indoors

Another nice list, I've got the last three listed and Incense and Peppermints by the SAC instead of the one you listed, ought to get that one really. The Yes BBC album always sounds very thin to me.

"Wake up....." shows a musical maturity. The debut was more sunshine pop psyche, this one shows a group who want to be taken seriously

Got a best of as well as I&P with a number of tracks taken from Wake Up...... but I think I'll have to try and get that as well.

The same band but different in many ways. Found this Vintage Years album going dead cheap somewhere. Too much Jeremy Spencer on this for my liking but for a glimpse of Blue Horizon FM this is okay.
