Another vote for Heldon's masterpiece Stand By. Man I love that album to pieces! Remember when I first started listening to it, I was living on the outskirts of Copenhagen besides a big forest called Hareskoven(The Hare Forest). Walking amongst the huge trees down by the lake all to myself with Bolero playing in my ears had an almost spiritual effect on yours truly - even making me caress the bark of the trees with my fingers as I passed them. I know..... sounds like something out of a hippie Barbra Cartland novel, but to me it was real, and still is. I tried making the same voyage last time I went there on visit to see my friends of old, and the magic was still there in full force. Ever since I can remember, we used to go down to the lake, down besides an ancient ruin, where this lonely tree spread its branches in all kinds of scary images. We called it Drømmetræet(Tree of Dreams), as it magically changed with the seasons and for some reason always felt alive. Like really alive. Funny thing is, that now when I am older, I always go to see it with Heldon's Stand By in my ears - and a huge smile. It isn't frightening anymore.
I think you should have been a hippie in the late sixties David. Cool story though.

Hmmm....GonG or Henry Cow. I'll go with the Cow on this one.
Oh yeah your not big on that Magma album i forgot, i remembered it wasn't one of Greg's favs either. Leg End is pretty awesome although i still rate Western Culture as my favourite Cow record.
Western Culture has always been my favorite. I really need to get Leg End... I bought it when it first came out on CD, but didn't really like it. I even got rid of it, during a period when I was broke and needed quick cash. Then I heard that the mix they released for that pressing was really terrible and it's since been fixed. I've still never heard the "fixed" version. If it's anything like Unrest, I should definitely get off on it.
Thanks to regrettable purgings like that, I've pretty much vowed to never get rid of any of my albums. Never know when I might want to give them another shot.

As per usual you've got my number John
I would've loved to have experienced Woodstock, although some of the hippie nonsense rubs me the wrong way(kumbaya). The music however - how it was praised and pursued, man I can dig it - and get down with it from here on to the ends of the earth!

Well i can relate as i've gotten rid of some(not many) over the years and have since realized that buying stuff twice doesn't make a lot of sense. Because our tastes do change and what i might not be too into today might be something i cherish 5 years from now. Lesson learned.
