Went to a record shop, saw Zeit, cheapest one and a double,RESULT! more bang for my buck. Then I took it home and put it on. WTF! where are the riffs, where is anything approaching a song, what the hell is this, obviously it was cheap because it was a load of old nonsense. But I went back because I'd paid my hard earned paper round money for this, it's on Virgin they wouldn't put out any old rubbish and although it made zero sense to me it kept pulling me back, slowly as i repeatedly listened it opened up and made me see there was more to this music lark than I'd realised.


We were lucky. That is an experience that is so firmly of that time. It was my doorway into lots of things I didn't like on first listen. The economics of album buying meant you actually had to do some work. That was certainly my experience of Crimson and VdGG and Beefheart and Coltrane among many many others. That age is long gone ....
