Gotta love the symphonic touches on the title track and the slightly pastoral feel of the second side. I'd probably have it tied for first alongside Animals for my favourite Floyd album. I'm not a huge Floyd fan, though, so I haven't really taken the time to look into their solo careers. Any albums in particular you'd recommend I'd start with? Camel - Mirage Van Halen - Fair Warning Van Halen - Women and Children First Rush - Caress of Steel Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath SBB - Pamiec Charlie Cawood - The Divine Abstract

Well, I have been huge Floyd-fan soon almost four decades, but a long time only solo album I`ve listened was Rogers Pros and Cons (not even any Gilmour albums). When Roger released his new one and Gilmour put out Pompeii, I decided to listen all the solos I can get. I think you just waste your time with them, none of them are not even close to the greatness of Pink Floyd albums (quite recently listened a Final Cut after a long time and it sounded much better than I thought, it´s better than any Rog`s solo). If you really want to try some, then listen Roger´s Is This the Life We Really want? If you like what Wright has done on Floyd, then Wet Dream will be your choise too.

It's a more surreal, off-kilter, demented nursery-rhymish take on post-punk by a guy and gal duo. And of course, there's always the scratchy, psychotic no wave of DNA or James Chance and the Contortions.

Just listened that Lemon Kittens album, it´s really great! Going to listen the Big Dentist too. BTW I believe you are familiar with Boys Next Door/the Birthday Party?

Fela Kuti - Zombie

Was visiting and at hospital today so only managed three albums but what joy!

Peter Hammill - From the Trees
Threshold - Legends of the Shires
Gandalf's Fist - A Day in the Life of a Universal Wanderer

Going to listen the Big Dentist too. BTW I believe you are familiar with Boys Next Door/the Birthday Party? Oh cool, where'd you find either album? I haven't found The Big Dentist anywhere myself (although I prefer to buy albums beforehand, so I may just be shooting myself in the foot; there's a good chance it's on Youtube). I know of The Birthday Party, and I've listened to selections from Prayers on Fire, but I wasn't really all that impressed. As for Red Krayola, I've heard Parable of Arable Land a few times. It's great in concept, but the execution leaves me hanging. Perhaps it's just the sound quality; if nothing else I like a few of the Free Form Freakouts.

Both Lemon Kittens Album are in youtube. Found there many rare full albums that are not in spotify. I really love Prayers On Fire, but it´s the most produced BP-album. If you find them somewhere, listen their Boys Next Door-stuff, Hee-Haw e.p. and album that is first named just "Boys Next Door" then soon changed "Birthday Party". They´re much rawer than Prayers. About Krayola, they´ve made really many albums. In the end of seventies they released Soldier-Talk which is as great as those postpunk albums same time (Pere Ubus members play into it). Later albums Hazel is really great, although they´ve not made an bad album.
