Pierre, I heard that Tortilla Flat one a few years back and remember it being quite good! Might have to look into it, I'm pretty sure Greg Walker/Syn-phonic got either a CD or vinyl reissue of it in stock a while back? :)

No, Michael, nothing ... nowhere. I'm gonna kill myself. The other album (SWF Sessions (1973) sounds terrific too.

And speaking of bassoons, here's a trio of tracks from Lindsay Cooper's "Rags" soundtrack. Love this soundtrack.

Charming, charming album from Lindsay and Co. I've often wondered if Sally Potter was the late, great Nic Potter's sister (whose name is Sally....??).

If anyone has watched Henry Cow footage, notice how Chris Cutler drums ............

- I've never seen anyone drum like that !!! And he's bloody marvellous........

He's self-taught and took a fairly unorthodox approach to drumming - but the result is marvelous indeed. Approve

I got it !! Cutler drums like Tinkerbell on meth

. He is quite incredible - unorthodox music requires unorthodox behaviour

I wonder what kind of organ Tim Hodgkinson plays ???

To answer my own question - it appears to be a Farfisa Compact Duo, but he heavily manipulates its sounds so it's totally unique. Trivial for sure, but I like to know these things (must be OCD........)

Is there any Kevin Ayers' fan in?

I love all his albums until Sweet Deceiver.

Whatevershebringswesing is my favourite one.

Andrea, I've never known which albums to start with for Kevin's solo ones, any recommendations you can suggest? :)

I didn't read all the posts, but why is Henry Cow discussed in a Canterbury thread (Henry Cow are RIO).

Anyone here heard about the belgian band Pazop ?
Vocals can be annoying but the music is astonishing.

That they are, but the early stuff has Canterbury moments.

New album!

Vol. 1 of the HC box set is very, very Canterbury.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I'm a big Ayers fan. Sweet Deceiver's actually my favorite, followed by Doctor Dream.

This is the compilation that did it for me. Such a wonderful intro. It was the second Ayers I ever bought (Bananamour was the first, which was good but not great). It's better than any of his individual albums, and is one of my desert island discs! It benefits especially from having some key singles which didn't appear on albums.
