Hopeless Causes and Impurity are total winners (especially Fate) but my number 2 NMA soft-spot has to be Ghost of Cain. I can't think of a better 3 or 4 minutes than 51st State meself.

pretty west coast sounding jams. 1st lp Malesch is very arabic influenced including soundbites recorded over there. think they must have taken a trip to North africa cos there's a video of them somewhere there. 2nd has become more completely instrumental. Very nice blissful stuff well worth checking out. I think those were the only 2 recordings released at the time. think the band split in about '74 then a French label stuck out Last in '76. 20, possibly 30 years later Garden of Delights put out a few titles of material discovered in Radio station vaults and label archives. I haven't heard these but they seem to be highly regarded. Stevo

Alice Coltrane - Ptah the El Daoud This has really grown on me. One of the best jazz albums I've heard in yonks. Can't wait to play it to my dad, I think he'll love it. Tubular Bells is wonderful, as indeed Ommadawn. Don't play them much these days, but when I do.... Yes. Mike gets full coolness for those two albums regardless. And Ptah is simply one of the greatest albums, ever. :-) I actually quite like Hergest Ridge too. I don't listen to them very often either, but I do get the urge every now and then. Should I check out Hergest Ridge then ? I prefer Ommadawn to TB, because I love the celtic mystic vibe. Woodehenge sounds nice and pagan-y. That would be right up my street. What do you reckon. ( When I hear TB, funnily enough, I don't think of 'that' film like a friend of mine always does, and a lot of others I imagine. As we know, it was conceived and recorded comnpletely unrelated from, and before the film. Mike Oldfield had no personal involvement in the decision behind it's use in a film soundtrack whatsoever. It reminds me of the many awesome and inspiring facets of Nature -I recently saw an Old Grey Whistle Test B & W promo clip that depicted skiers etc. which re-affirmed that feeling ) Whenever I hear Tubular Bells I think of Blue Peter.
