    Being played Rush to by a mate whilst on a bit of a smoking sess'. First time I heard working man blew me away, I was a zep head at the time. And it was the first track I heard other than spirit of radio (which is probably the only uk chart single and I was about ten or eleven when that was released and not that into music then).

  3. Hi all, (mr Lyndsey G here). Can't do links but there's a five part interview on music radar on the recording of c.a. Just google music radar geddy part 1 (2,3 etc) There's also a written interview with nick, the producer. Sorry if it's already been posted but Lyndsey wasn't aware of it so I thought I'd actually make a post on the forum.
  4. After careful consideration........ Never Enough
  5. I was really into the Ozrics throughout the nineties and have kinda lost touch with what's going on.( Tbh it's since I stopped smoking the herb ). Really need to catch up with the last three or four albums. Seen them many times, small clubs, festivals and their legendary allnighters which had some great line ups. Through the Ozrics I got to see eat static (obviously), system 7 with Steve hillidge, gong, senser (highly recommende and recently reformed) the levellers, fun da mental, oh alsorts of bands. Very happy days indeed. I do remember reading a review of a show many years back in kerrang magazine. It was basically this, "grass grass grass, I thought I was in a meadow. The ozric tentacles are the ostrich testicles, see them now !" (another offshoot, sort off if you can find it is Seaweeds earlier band "the thunderdogs-thundermental. Hmm, punky-ish, levellers meet the ozric without the folk influence. Top track, the LSD conspiracy). Oh man, just looked up if they're touring (no ) but got linked to other gigs. Banco de Gaia still going !!! That takes me bank some. (yea did I enjoy the ambience thing).

  7. The mrs, LyndsyG and myself were discussing great album titles. Not neccesarily bands you are into, just titles that catch your eye of just prod your curiosity enough to investigate the band further. So I've got my top album titles lined up. Modern life is rubbish - Blur The correct use of soap - magazine Stop making sense - talking heads Press the eject and give me the cassette - Bauhaus Come on people, what are your fave album titles
  8. Tbh I've not spent a great deal off time with TD but am a big Ozrics fan so maybe a biased vote. Did try to get into TD but found the Ozrics a bit more "organic" but that may be the guitarist in me. I do enjoy Hawkwind a lot to so theres a common link with preference in tripy music. (besides, a band that's named after an imaginary breakfast cereal, that's way to cool)
