Glad to hear it. It's very old and as you'd expect. But soem tasty riffs/hooks

Enjoying this thread, listening to a lot of stuff I would never otherwise hear via your mentions and youtube. My (rather conservative) votes go to Monster Magnet - Mastermind Dragontears - 2000 Micrograms from home Motorhead - The World Is Yours Hawkwind - Blood of the Earth Best Reissue Uriah Heep - Salisbury

The band name and album title give me thrills before I've heard a note. You're enjoying The World is Yours then? Me too! Some filthy bluseyness and bottom end grooves going on there I think. Dirty riffage and even some stuff like if early Quo met Lemmy in an alley and he dosed em with something nasty!

I found out about Dragontears from a mention on these boards. Kinda like a "Monster Magnet" Lite - crap description, but I don't know what else to say their myspace is here http://www.myspace.com/dragontears2000

I'm struggling to put together a list for this year. I've bought a lot of music, much of it has been old stuff either remasters or filling gaps in my collection. From those new sounds this year I have liked the following (no particular order) Spaceship - Out of Time's Abyss Wooden Shjips - Vol 2 MV & EE - so many to choose from this year, but probably "Liberty Rose" cos it's just perfect and the live "Trossachs" set from glasgow, cos it was a great show to be at. Swans - My father will guide me up a rope Neil Young - Le Noise - almost didn;t buy this, but glad i did Joanna Newsom - Have one on me VA - Deutsche Electronische Musik PTV3 - Alien Brain vs Maggot Brain Moon Duo - Escape Probably add David Wrench Ploughs/hoes etc although it's not an easy listen, but i do love his voice.

I never listened to Uriah Heep on a good system, regarded them as a kind of Deep Purple light though when I think about it now there aren't really many similarities.

I never listened to Uriah Heep on a good system, regarded them as a kind of Deep Purple light though when I think about it now there aren't really many similarities. They are probably more of a special band than their perennial 2nd division status might imply. It's only relatively recently I've got into what might be termed 'classic' Heep, i.e the early David Byron era and I have to say I was blown away by the mix of primitive but potent riffing, Queen style vocal histrionics and harmonies (surely an influence on Freddie n co really) and Hammond power. But, also, the gentler side of things has it's own attraction too - deffo got that UK prog whimsy of its time going on. I've got a couple of the 80's Pete Goalby fronted albums and they are pretty good in a melodi-rock kinda way, and they still keep those big harmonies going. The recentish "Wake the Sleeper" album is an utterly fab melding of classic Heepisms and a more contemporary hard rock edge. A properly great rock album should you be inclined to have a listen.

I'm still trying to digest and assess the 50+ new release albums I've acquired this year- not counting old stuff, or the promos I got sent but decided weren't for me and took to a charity shop after one listen. There's also a whole load of stuff- most of the stuff raved about by people on here and on other respected music sites- that I haven't even heard yet. At the moment though, Phantom- Smoke and Mirrors Sound Carriers- Celeste Wolf People- Steeple look unlikely to be dislodged from the top 3 spot. Will post more fully when I feel able.
