Fantastic :thumbsup:Quote:

Top Album there.Quote:

Kicking off with this one this evening, feels about the right pace for a very nice summer evening.

Eclectic downtempo (in my book a classic).
Yes, I noticed that. Will move the errant posts to 'The Classical Section' when I get the time.Quote:

Gawd knows how long since I last played this. I do sometimes get a bit maudlin over albums like this and wonder if I will have enough time left to ever play it again? Best enjoy it this time around, then!
Strange title as until recently there were no railways in Tibet. The Chinese found a way to overcome problems with the permafrost, and did indeed build a railway line, but it doesn't reach the centre of Lasa; the railway station is about 5 miles away.
I know I've seen these live, along with Eat Static, Autechre, and many others, on nights at Manchester Academy known as 'Megadog'... great nights out, just a shame I can remember sod all about any of them :doh: Those were the days :)Quote:

This is the first LP I ever bought . . . all my own money too, from a paper round.
Zeppelin day
Had this copy since I was in school, still sounds great.
Remember that crackle on Gallows Pole... ah the memories.
Loving Vinyl again :)

If singles were still a real thing this would be my single of the week. Love a bit of 'stoner' rock on a hot day...

I was thinking of having a Stoner Rock evening myself, playing through some of the Brown Acid LP's.Quote:

Always liked this one, probably my second favourite after their first :) Aficionados of classical music would probably be horrified though :DQuote:

From memory and it was a long time ago , one of my pals was a big fan, we did see The Nice which probably around 1970, then ELP a couple of times 71 or 72, probably still Greens Playhouse, saw quite a few bands at the Apollo before I moved down south in 1974, we did go to a lot of gigs back then so would be a big list. Followed by a mad dash down Renfield Street for the last train.Quote:
