I really rate him, in the same way and for the same reasons as I rate Dr. John.Quote:

Looks interesting Mike. How would you describe her style?Quote:

Thanks. David Grohl - I didn't spot the connection.Quote:

Given my disappointment with Pink Floyd's 'Animals', I though I would play a couple of other PF albums which have dropped below the radar. They are:
Music From the Film More
Really enjoyed this; played reasonably loud, nearly everything caught my attention. I have seen the film twice: first on its release at the cinema in 1969, and the second a rare showing on TV, probably in the '90s.
Obscured by Clouds
CD EMI CDP 7 46385 2 (1972)
This is the soundtrack to the film 'La Vallée', a film which I have seen but left little impression on me, and that is possibly why this PF disc did the same. Ho Hum!
