Third is just awesome, I first had it in '81 I think, never tired of it even though I've listened to it alot. The combination of early prog, jazz, and tape looping at points is really unlike anything else I've heard, pretty unique unto itself. I really |

Yeah, I'll pick this one up too. I have Bundles and The Land of Cockayne, strickly to feed my Holdsworth jones. So tell me, where and whom started the Jazz/Rock fusion movement. Many sources give the credit to Miles Davis "Bitches Brew." < |

Bringing this thread back... I like Third. Facelift is a rather weak track, but the rest is impressive. I especially like Slightly All the Time. Volume 2 is a little better though. |

Please don't think me antagonistic, but I have tried a number of times to understand the attraction of this album, but to no avail. I first heard it around the time of its release, and thought it to be unstructured and boring. I bought it on CD |

Interesting points Dick, I've no idea what they're playing as trad jazz in Scotland, since, as you rightly surmised, I don't like jazz. To my untrained (jazz) ear "Third" sounds very similar to any jazz I have heard in the past. Undou |
