Just been listening to 'North Circular' by The Bevis Frond -
triple LP from 1997. It was my intro to Nick Saloman when it came out,
and I've always thought it boasted a daunting number of superb
songs. It's never had much recognition even with BF fans, and I've never
understood why. I just listened to 'The
Strangers Mirror', and the guitar solo at the end just destroyed me.
The whole song is great, but plug in at about 8:15 for that solo. Edited by Braka1 - July 11 2020 at 00:20 |

North Circular is my one and only The Bevis Frond album. I was introduced to the album by "The All Music Guide To Rock" book which I got during the mid-to-late 90s (this book also introduced me to Gentle Giant).

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I’m a huge fan of the Bevis Frond - though North Circular is one of the few albums I haven’t acquired yet. Working on it though!
I think my favorite album is Hit Squad. That sucker rips! |

I just listened to that, excellent! Yes, that guitar solo was inspired! I knew of the band's name, as I knew that Nick Saloman was a Tom Rapp/Pearls Before Swine fan. In an interview with Tom Rapp, he'd mentioned having played at Terrastock 2, back in the late 90's. Just never had the opportunity to give them a listen. Am going to listen to more, now. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Here’s a favorite, from White Numbers (2014, I think).
