So your mocking of Moshkito in your sig isn't enough, now you're accusing him of being a drunk.   

Really?

Marillion's first 7 albums were all different from each other imo and possibly the next leap to Brave was an even bigger change than the one preceeding it.

True, and Afraid of Sunlight was different from Brave. 
Radiation was different from This Strange Engine
Anoraknophobia was different from marillion.com 
etc.

They always tried something new. Smile

HI,

Haven't had a drink in 30 years ... just not me. And I don't do any herberies, either ... so I guess that is something that is odd and unusual for the folks here! Confused (Been clean for over 40 years!)

I'm glad I'm not the only one that is crazy around here! Tongue

Pedro survived the Summer Of Love in Frisco in 67.... So if his often overlong  posts are always a bit difficult to comprehend, there aren't spelling many mistakes or stutters that would lead anyone to think he's drunk.

He might still have not come down from his last LSD trip (whenever that was), but he's not drunk.

Hawkwind....PXR5 to Levitation
With the departure of Bob Calvert to the re-entry of Huh Lloyd Langton all sound structure differed and the writing style of Bob Calvert was vanished from Hawkwind leaving that role to Dave Brock and Hugh Lloyd Langton...and creating several albums that presented a kind of Metal affect and fused with Michael Moorcock's writings..its obvious that it would be a drastic change from Calvert ..."Uncle Sam's On Mars", "Spirit Of The Age" had a different style of its own.
The following albums :

Levitation
Sonic Attack
Church Of Hawkwind
Choose Your Masques
Chronicles Of The Black Sword
Live Chronicles
Xeon Codex
...were only reminiscent of the past regarding the lyrics and story idea of Warrior On The Edge Of Time. Again we had songs about dragons and wizards...warriors and spells...or magic...gone were the 20th century Calvert stories about the Cold War and espionage.

From Space Bandits to Electric Teepee....a huge change in structure by returning to more of a Space Rock style of jamming. Gone was the Metal oriented style and they returned to repetitive Space Rock jamming ...though it differed from the Space Ritual sound because of new keyboards. It is The Business Of The Future sounded more Electronic. Sometimes I didn't even realize that I was listening to Hawkwind. As time progressed they began to have more consistency...but from 1976 to early 90s they sometimes sounded like another band completely...or perhaps not the band they were before or earlier and the transitions were sometimes extreme...

One of the single biggest changes happened between Goblin's 1980 soundtrack Contamination and the disco-fueled pop rock of their studio LP Volo two years later. Its sole instrumental, "Est," was a leftover they later used again for the Notturno soundtrack.

That's a strange one indeed, but i guess Goblin split in two in the early 80s, just check the line-up for Volo and that of Tenebre OST. I like the Tenebre soundtrack. Smile

Hi,

Well there is a reason why I like the GD's long cuts ... hahaha ... but honestly ... I gave up drinking and toking when a California Governor said something that really got me mad ... "let them get stoned and I will win all the elections" ... and while I'm all pro this and that, somehow that comment really hurt ... and we don't get it, and make some comments that are ... well ... they can have their "objective" comments!

I always stand for the music and its history ... and "song" is something that became an issue only with POPULAR music, not "serious music" in the history that is taught in all schools ... so a lot of folks not helping the music be better and more important, is an issue for me ... changes are what the 20th century was about in the arts .... but most folks here don't care to hear that, because it interferes with their favorite choices, and the idea that they might not have heard enough music to know the difference. I'm not sure that is the main issue, but it might be one of them. And that is not to say that anyone is incorrect, but it is a slight challenge to many of you to improve your listening ability ... I think that all the Special Collab's in PA have that ability to a good/great extent, though sometimes seeing a posting leaves your head going ... what??? ... but a large thx to Sean and a couple of others ... I know that I am only trying to help the music ... we have to get better at that, in order to make a point in the history of it all, otherwise it will be just another moment lost in time ... like smoke in the wind ... dissipated ... and the next bird goes right by it looking for food!Confused

This came to my mind as well!  

For Yes, I'd suggest "TFTO" to "Relayer."  Both amazing and evolutionary albums! Clap

Hi,

I think of Electric Tepee as a sort of ambient acid rock ... it has some very hard materials that recall some of the Space Ritual stuff. AND, the end thing that I think might not be quite understood ... the last cut ... Electric Tepee was a "pow-wow" just like Space Ritual was ... and there was a comment here way back when that it was the stupidest thing they ever heard!

Again, I see it as a continuation of their ambient sound, though this was much softer than the previous album, which was a very good and loud album.

I find these 2 albums really good and a great listen ... and the only thing that bothers me, is them using the Rolling Stones song to fill out the IITBOTF album ... I know it was a benefit that they had given a lot to, but to me it broke the feeling of the album.

Return to Forever: Light as a Feather to Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy. Both classics. Light as a Feather is mainly acoustic fusion that includes instruments such as the flute, saxophone and double bass as well as vocals.

Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy is melt your face electric fusion in the mould of the Mahavisnu Orchestra.

Indeed, Simonetti, Morante and Pignatelli created Tenebre, but Pignatelli is also on Volo.

Yes I agree. It definitely broke the feeling of the album. By the time they release ALIEN 4 they had already hired Ron Tree who was a fan of Robert Calvert and he did pursue that Calvert role by re-recording "Death Trap" and also through live performance on LOVE IN SPACE, however my personal preference was in the deepness of Bridget Wishart. I liked her costumes ...her theatrics...her masks!! and renditions of Robert Calvert songs. I really liked her emulation and original style the best. She could role play characters and her stage presence was unique in Hawkwind.
