Quote *whispers* I think it was a joke, Iván...

I suposed that (Specially after the 5 laughing emonticons) Trouserpress.

But it's always useful.

The opening breaks up - don't remember that ever happening with my original Harvest LP. The CD has been reissued (remastered by Harvest?), and have you any idea if the track suffers the same problem on that?


I have the Harvest edition (but not the vinyl, so I can't compare) and I've just checked the start of the song... It doesn't really "break up" but I might be listening to an identical track to you. Could you rip it as an mp3 and send it to me so I can do a proper comparison?

Good addition, Trouserpress! Now people had better get rid of the meaningless Queen discussion and give some effort for reviewing this outstanding artist!
(Unfortunately I heard only Joy of a Toy and Bananamour so far... I almost forgot that someone named Kevin Ayers even existed! Thanks for reminding!)

Speaking of bananamour, is Daevid Allen (other than Gong) here? He has an album called "Banana Moon", including renowned canterbury musicians (Robert Wyatt, to name one). I believe this album (and the rest, if any, and if appropriate) would be excellent addition...
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

Anyone who writes a song called "Shouting in a bucket blues" deserves to be here without a doubt. Also, his use of a duck on "Oh wot a dream" is genius. I'm going to go home and listen to Bananamour tonight so I can review it.

Solo work in a Hopper, Hugh page. Other bands to be listed seperately. I plan on adding the Wilde Flowers soon... just as soon as I hear some!

Your discography must be comprehensive, and as Ayers is integral to the first Soft Machine album you strictly should include that.

And what about the Nico Eno Ayers + one other live (Cale???) album released by Island in the 70's?

I've thinking along the same lines that  Hugh Hopper should included as a "solo artist", but the headache is the large number of groups he's been a member:

Wildeflowers
Soft Machine
Isotope
Stomu Yamashta
Gilgamesh
Hugh Hopper Band
Caveman Hughscore/Hughscore
Soft Works
Bone
Soft Machine Legacy

His solo albums include the notable 1984, Jazzloops
and session work, e.g with Kevin Ayers, Syd Barrett, Robert Wyatt.

I know Hugh would react on inclusion, as saying it's 'groovy'.


The discographies need only cover solo works (though I did include that Nico Eno Cale jobby (June 1st) so you know) as he's being added as a SOLO ARTIST. His work in Soft Machine is covered in both biographies, and that's enough, surely?

I think I'm limited to one mp3 per album and a maximum of 5 over all. I sleep on it.

I saw Kevin Ayers about 10 years ago backed up by Liverpool prog/jazz supremos the Wizzards of Twiddly. I also briefly met the man - he & the Wizards were rehearsing in an arts centre which I was helping to run. I opened the door one morning, saw a tousled blond guy standing there and said (with great presence of mind and that ready wit for which Liverpudlians are so famous) 'Fookin' 'ell it's Kevin Ayers!', which was a bit of a conversation killer. I got on pretty well with some of the Wizards, and they played a storming set at the Lomax with some of Ollie Halsall's guitar solos played by the trumpeter. Great addition, and I look forward to your reviews and bio Mr Trousers.
'Like so many of you
I've got my doubts about how much to contribute
to the already rich among us...'

Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom

Snow Dog's probably joking, because somebody asked if Robert Wyatt was here

 

ADD YES!!!
