Roger Winfield - Windsongs: The Sound of Aeolian Harps

Roger Winfield - A lovely listen, must dig it out

Jimmy Page - is there not some dispute about the Lucifer Rising soundtrack-

according to the Cabala bootleg

Lucifer Rising

Recorded live in November ’73 at Boleskine House, Lochness, Scotland

(Godwin doubts source or even if this is Jimmy Page)

(Received reliable confirmation that this is indeed not Jimmy Page. It is instead Bobby Beausoleil and the Freedom Orchestra soundtrack to “Lucifer Rising”. For more information visit these web sites http://www.beausoleil.net/bobby.html and http://www.whitedogmusic.com/)

I have four versions of the LR soundtrack. Two of which sound like they could be Page and two that really don't sound like his work at all and those go under the Freedom Orchetra banner. Has a similar track listing to the one you reproduce above. The maybe-authentic stuff sounds a lot like Tangerine Dream playing No Quarter. No drums, no band sounds of any description.

I forogt you had given me the Roger W album. What a great record that is. Thanks!


I'm pretty sure I got the Roger W from Seb Hunter, so together we can form some sort of wind driven hummimg triangle

Do the other Jimmy Page soundtracks go over the 28 mins or so that Page delivered to Anger, I have a copy of that,it sounds more Pagish than the Cabala set, but it still a bit formless IIRC, sounds like it should have Dazed & Confused bolted on each end


The one I have that sounds most like Page clocks in at 21 - 22 minutes. It's the most musical in that there is some rhythmic sophistication to it - some interesting woodwind noises and low horn tones. It sounds like someone has thought about it over a period of time and tried to make a single entity of the ideas like a tone poem. Also sounds like the work of someone who has worked with orchestras and has a talent for layering instruments.

The other stuff switches radically between styles and genres and sounds more like a mid level new agey prog jam band with some fairly ho-hum lead guitar duelling that resolves into a "eastern" melody at one point. Definitely not Page as far as I can tell, just doesn't have that touch of genius. One of the versions of the presumably non-Page stuff has LOTR oriented track titles - "Gollum's Bane" etc.
