| Delirium Records released a double sampler of their bands as Pick'n'Mix, for a remarkably cheap price. I don't think you can go wrong but get a copy and check out a lot of 90's British bands - Sons Of Selina amongst others caught my ears as new space rock. |

I saw that the first 4 Can albums have been remastered and reissued very recently- and got reviewed in the Times on Saturday, with Tago Mago getting the maximum 5 stars there. |

...and I should think so! The 1st 4 Can albums are still blinding - absolutely timeless, rhythmic mayhem that everyone should listen to... Thx for the heads-up on the re-masters - must track them down |

Peter, You'll be recommending Mario Lanza next - or Alan Jones (I think). His Donkey Serenade seemed to get featured most Sunday afternoons in the ancient movies on TV in the 60's : There's a song in my heart, don't you hear it senorita... don't write lyrics like that anymore...................... |

well...everything from the german scene is highly recommended the Berlin Scene: Ash ra tempel, Mythos, Cluster,Agitations free (for long space electronic & psych rock jammings) The West scene: Kraftwerk, Neu!, Floh De Cologne...(for political, minimalist industrial but sometimes space compositions) The Munich Scene: Popol Vuh, Amon Duul, Gila, Embryo...(for psych, folk ethnic & free jazz) -------------

Actually Camembert is more in the spirit of Soft Machine and the subsequent Canterbury scene. Gong's space period really began with 'Angel's egg' and ended with the following opus : 'You'. After these releases, they turned towards jazz-rock. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

Check out 'Synchronicité', not a french version of Police's album but Patrick Forgas' last album. It was released on Musea, a label devoted to (re)release (mainly) prog artists. It can be seen as "ambient" music but it has a slighty jazz feel to it. If you want some more infos on this album, read my review of it on this site. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

| Of course Hawkwind. In search of Space, Space Ritual, Space Bandits etc. But for me it's Grobshnitt Solar Music Live. I attended this concert in Manhiem, Germany in 1978 and it has to have been the spaciest concert I ever witnessed. The studio version can be found on the album Ballerman see the archives. |
