Glad to see some Petrol in there. Very under rated but a very good and superb live band!

White Hills - S/T
Gets even fabber with more listens.

Teeth of the Sea - Hypnoticon

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Pronto Monto
Dug out the vinyl. A fantastic LP this, makes me very emotional listening to some of the tracks here.

Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood, War Child
SFTW is really growing on me now. War Child makes me leap round the room if I'm in the mood.

Grace Jones - some greatest hits comp thing from the library.
Great to hear some of her stuff again, espesh Nightclubbing, Private Lives, Use Me and a couple of others. Some of it doesn't appeal at all, but hearing the good ones blasting out this weekend was great.

Oneohtrix Point Never - Rifts
Still enjoying this, even if it doesn't quite live up to the hype. Or perhaps it does, it's just that I won't admit it! It does sound very atmospheric late a t night.

Madness - Liberty of Norton Folgate
Enjoyed hearing this again in the car yesterday.

Dr Feelgood - Stupidity
Also good in the car. Surely one of the best ever live albums. I remember the excitement when this came out. Dr Feelgood in their element.

Greenslade - S/T
I think I'm beginning to prefer this to Bedside Manners Are Extra. Some lovely stuff on this.

Yes - Fragile
That sequence of tracks on what was the 1st side of the album still sends tingles aplenty.

Coil - Music To Play in the Dark 2
Haunting and lovely.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Deep Purple - Fireball
Led Zep - IV
Budgie - In For the Kill
Status Quo - Quo

I was in a rock sort of mood on Friday :-)

Stephen Stills - s/t, 2. "Manassas" & "Stills"
America's answer to Stevie Winwood. In a good way.

Roger Winfield - Windsongs: The Sound of Aeolian Harps
Jimmy Page - "Lucifer Rising" bits n bobs from the unused soundtrack

The Dead - Live Dead

Mahavishnu - Apocalypse
McLaughlin - Thieves and Poets

LZ - Houses of the Holy

Steve Vai - "Reak Illusions" Sounds like a cross between early Bill Nelson solo / Red Noise, Utopia and The Tubes. Art Rock or should that be Art Rawk?

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

(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 or the intro to In The Light with synths and theramin and chaos noises and some vocals of some sort. It's very scratchy audio quality vinyl>cassette>cd by the sound of it but servicable enough. No drums, no band sounds of any description. The other versions are very different. More rock-band-playing-spooky-tunes.

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.

Skygreen Leopards- Disciples of California (found this pretty dull- came from the local charity shop, going straight back there)

Mick Harvey- Intoxicated Man (still the standard by which English language covers of Serge Gainsbourg songs are judged, for me)

DM Stith- Heavy Ghost

Baby Dee- A Book of Songs for Anne-Marie

Baby Dee- Little Window

Scientist- Crucial Cuts volume 2

Dub Syndicate & Lee 'Scratch' Perry- Time Boom X De Devil Dead

Dr Alimantado- In The Mix part 2

The Gun Club- Pastoral Hide and Seek

The Chesterfield Kings- Where The Action Is (mostly very faithful 60s garage covers by this ridiculously-coiffed 80s outfit- pretty pointless but good fun)

Neil Young- Harvest

Cream- The Best of

Queen Elizabeth- S/T.

And both White Hills / Pontiak and Baby Dee live over the weekend!

sounds like the 20 min version is the one, thank god for the internet, in the 'good' old days you had to purchase an overpriced boot to find out that Kenneth Anger had seemingly employed a midwest lounge band to soundtrack his film and then be told that your mate has an equally dodgy boot that sounded like primary level recorders playing Stairway backwards that was also the OST

Mislabelled Zep boots is a whole new can of worms, and one I, shall not open at this this point, other than to say if I had a time machine I would travel back to a record fair in Scotland 82 and tell myself it is too good to be true.

LP’s

BRAVE THE ELEMENTS – Lost Idol
If I mention that the opening track is called Lightwerk, with that all important ‘e’, it should give you an idea what it sounds like.



Don't think that opening track is really representative of the whole album though, myself, although it might be the best thing on it! I wondered if it was a deliberate parody, kind of like, "I can do a kraftwerk pastiche with a few early 80s electro touches in my sleep, if that's what's hip at the moment!" The rest had more of an Air / Massive Attack feel I thought.
