Curved Air eh Seltz...not bad.

Isildurs Bane - The Voyage - A Trip to Elsewhere

Gorgeous, very mature symphonic progressive rock (violin, piano and cello up the wazoo) that sounds so elegant you feel you're standing on the sky when you close your eyes. There's some sax and brassy interludes here and there which flow so well with the classical stuff I had to hear it to believe it. An absolute essential for those who love classical and jazz, and I wish I had discovered it earlier.

Gong - Angel's Egg

Its Gong, its Steve Hillage on guitar, and a space rock classic. Need I say more?

I got these in the post today, each compiles an EP and an LP from the short-lived music incarnation of Linder Sterling. Reissued in 2002 after being out-of-print many years. Beautiful artwork courtesy of Linder. Think jazz/post-punk, although to be honest they don't really sound like anything. They produced themselves but Peter Hammill and Martin Hannett tried to get a piece. raaaaaahh. I already had the Visit/Seduction on mp3 but amazon lured me in with their super-saver deals. I regret NUSSING.

Gong rule. Isildur's bane = LOTR reference, it's the ring I believe. Sign of the times isn't it really

Was trying to copy give Jackhammer props for Coltrane - A Love Supreme at the bottem of his list, but with that quote and and my own pic it was too many images. But yeah...Good cd though!

For me:

Some awesome, dark dubstep.
Got it a few days ago and listened to it 7 or 8 times already...lovin it.

reasons to love Ludus no.245
Hacienda show 1982

Recalling the show to Ian Greaves in 1997, Linder said: "At the same time at the Hacienda they were showing lots of soft porn, and they thought it was really cool. I took my revenge. I was a vegetarian, I got meat from a Chinese restaurant, all the discarded entrails... The Hacienda was still this male preserve. They were panicking - "It's going to mark the floors!" And they withdrew the Bloody Linder from the cocktail bar."

Prior to the Ludus performance, Naylor and Carroll decorated every table in the venue with a paper plate, on which sat a red-stained tampon and a stubbed cigarette. Dave Formula: "Tony Wilson came in and just went fucking spare. He went completely bananas. I've never seen him lose it like that before - he's normally the urbane Mr Cool, you know. He was incredibly shaken by it, meaning they put them all away. But then Linder came up with the trump card of The Dress."
The Dress was made of discarded chicken meat sewn onto layers of black net, pulled aside during the last number (Too Hot To Handle) to reveal a large black dildo. As a response to Bucks Fizz losing their Eurovision skirts the previous year it drove home one of Linder's central themes (the cultural expectation of women) all too well, but the gesture was unlikely to launch the group far towards the mainstream.

Whipping aside the meat dress certainly had a dramatic effect on the Hacienda crowd, as Linder recalled: "I remember the audience going back about three foot. There was hardly any applause at the end. And that was a crowd who thought: nothing can shock us, we see porn all the time, we're cool. When that happened, when they stepped back, I thought, that's it. Where do you go from here?"

Yeah, its a reference to the ring, but this particular album came out in 1992. So...not really a sign of the times. xD

I don't think it's dubstep at all, more like vagrant garage or something UK garage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. But yeah I'm always happy when this album pops up. I went back and got the first one later and I can't say it had the same impact
