I've never owned nor heard "More", I'd never really thought of it as a proper Floyd album. My loss maybe. I think I'll stick it on my list.Quote:

And then there is 'The Body', also by PF. :scratch:
Never heard of "The Body", except of course the Stephen King novel. And I did not know That Obscured by Clouds was a soundtrack, even though I've had a copy since the 70s. So much to learn, so little time.Quote:

Me neither. In fact, a lot of Dom's images take some time for my computer to load, but this one not at all. Very strange.Quote:

You could say that, though by following with this, it could be said I'm on a bit of a Steve Hunter 'roll'...Quote:

He contributed guitar on much of Alice Cooper's earlier albums, and also composed and played guitar on the Sweet Jane "Intro" of Rock 'n' Roll Animal. Talented bloke, he's also worked with Peter Gabriel (acoustic guitar for Solsbury Hill), and also done much work with Tracy Chapman.
Interesting band. A mate's older brother had 2nd Honeymoon and played that for us, back when I was in Sixth Form but we didn't really get it at the time.Quote:

I love Bowie's 'Berlin' period recordings - so that looks like a good CD set. I take it that "Live" is a collection of Bowie's songs performed live.Quote:

I really like this album, as it has interesting contributions from Ron Geesin: the title track 'Atom Heart Mother' and the last track 'Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast'. The latter is a bit of a gimmick; especially the vinyl version where the dripping tap at the end continues into the locked run-out groove, so if you were stoned and had fallen asleep, you would reawaken to the sound of a dripping tap! :doh:
But the real contribution from Geesin is the title track. I saw them perform this, complete with brass band, at the Bath Festival in 1969 (or was it 1970?). Anyway, I must have been stoned at the time, as I can remember crawling back into my tent to lie down, and missed the launch of a pair of skyrockets at the very end! (another :doh: )
According to a couple of internet sources I saw, the 'dripping tap' run out groove for Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast is only on the original presses, and does not appear on the 2016 Bernie Grundman reisssue (the version I have), but Wikipedia reckons it does :scratch: It's a mystery!Quote:

Great Album and great story.Quote:

A very underrated Bowie Album, imo.
And now to the man himself:
Ron Geesin - 'A Raise of Eyebrows'
Vinyl, Transatlantic TRA-161 (1967)
Note the two Revox G36 recorders, a valve Leak preamplifier (presumably with a matching Leak power amplifier hidden away somewhere) and two Vortexion four-channel mixers. I think the microphone is a Reslo ribbon type. Yes - I'm a bit of a 'nerd' when it comes to audio equipment. :)
Great cover.Quote:

Live @ the BBC Radio Theatre disc
Colosseum - 'Those Who Are About To Die Salute You'
Despite the awful cover, this is not a bad LP.
Some more Colosseum:
Colosseum - 'Valentine Suite'
Double LP, and much better than their debut LP. :)
I remember Colosseum, but can't recall their music. I may have had albums by them, but it would have been a long time ago.
I too only remember the name, but not what their music is like. Hopefully not represented by their album art which is truly shocking.
Colosseum - 'Daughter of Time'
Expanded version CD SMRCD119 (2004)

My second copy of this one, the first is the only CD I have that had the PDO 'disc rot' issue.

I thought for a minute that you might be needing professional help, but investigations revealed that you were referring to the Stones' song, and not Love Shine a Light by Katrina and the Waves :doh:Quote:
