Not exactly sure where to put this thread, anyway... I'll start off with these three albums: Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom Gong - Shamal Steve Hillage - Green What is the link between the three? And no, that they are 'Canterbury' isn't it.  ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

Produced by Nick Mason, but already mentioned above.
GREEN is an excellent album and beautifully recorded. SHAMAL is better than we give it credit for, because we tend to like Daevid's antics a little more than not. ROCKY B is an interesting album, but a musical tradition that not many folks here can appreciate from what I see, because it is not always about "melody" or any "design" that conforms to some ideas as to what we think progressive or crap is. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Before anyone else says it- ''crap''? ELP's and Yes albums were their last studio releases (barring compilations) on Atlantic records. I don't think Hackett was on Atlantic though.

All three had about one fine number that was as good as it got for the particular artist (guess which one). |

^no idea except they've all got less than a 2:50 rating on PA. How about this? Altrock Chamber Quartet - Sonata Islands Goes RIO Present - Triskaidékaphobie Aranis - Made in Belgium Sorry if we're supposed to wait until someone gets it right.
If you look at the chart on the front page Rock Bottom is actually the 52'nd most appreciated album on PA. 528 users give it a 4:30 rating. Ratings and such isn't everything but its an album treasured by many here and a personal favorite of mine. |
