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.

After careful consideration........ Never Enough

Great expectations

C'mon everybody

Plethora

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).

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

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)

Cheers all.

Still doing using it to. Pretty sure he was involved in it's creation. (I think one derivative is called a "soul kiss" but I may be wrong.

Had to do this when LyndsyG and I bought the narrowboat to live on. Problem I have with the music is I want to physically own it, not have a file that could corrupt. (does this make sense, buy an album rather than Itune it). What we did is loose the cases for album for all the CDs and DVDs and put them in folders. The big problem is the one hundred plus audio tapes I've been hoarding. Would free up some space and there is some embarrassing big hair eighties rock going on in that lot!

Both are great, and the Allman Brothers are one of my all time favorites. I can't get into the Grateful Dead though. I've tried listening to live shows on XM, but I don't really get the appeal. Try Ozric Tentacles, they're a bit too complicated to simply call them a jam band I think, but they're certainly in that ball park... Ozrics earlier stuff were definatley Jammed but you are quite right in saying that they are far to composed to be considered as a jam band. Have a lot of difficulty deciding which style I prefer. At the moment I've been pretty much listening the Spice Doubt album exclusively which a "reworkings" album. Myriapod, Disolution(the clouds disperse) and Sploosh, gez, you wouldn't have thought these tracks could of been improved upon !

Theiving magpie intro is great but I prefer Stravinksy Rite of Spring on Suouxsie and the Banshees Nocturn. Just the way the banshees go straight in with "Israel".

Loads of "lesser" festival/raves dates which in all honesty I probably never knew the names of most of the acts, let alone been able to remember them. I'm sure I had a good time though

QUOTE (Storm Shadow @ Jun 15 2011, 10:03 AM) Not a huge fan, but I like Hawkwind. Every band needs a Stacia. Too true

I did the Hawkwind bit too. Not really kept up with them since the early to mid 90's though. I do love the 1980(?) album "levitation" which holds some great memories of festivals. Think the last album I got into by them was "electric teepee" from I think 92 which was a bit more towards the alternative club/dance sound we hearing at the whirligig raves. Saw them a few times, always a good night apart the tour when Beautiful People supported doing the "if 60's were 90's" album. (Hendrix trancey dubby thing. Dated now but really cool at the time). Just such a hard one to follow as you knew what was getting with the Hawkwind.

Me and LyndseyG live on a 65foot narrowboat. After washing that the car is lucky to get a quick blast with a jetwash! ( I tell a lie, haven't washed the boat for a bit as we are part way through a repaint. A chore that is taking far to long as we are doing it out in the open rather than dry dock. Never again ).

It was seeing New York Dolls at CBGBs that lead Malcolm McClaren to form the Sex Pistols. I don't know enough of the bands listed to really make an informed opinion. (Big Star? Is it Cos I'm a Brit?) I like what I have heard of Velvet Underground and really need to explore them further, hear a lot of their stuff in "indy" bands and a lot in talking heads. Iggy and the Stooges Raw Power is the album that I go back to a lot in regards to high energy rock and "grunge". (I actually hated that term) so I voted for them.
