Three releases, RUBYCON, NO PUSSYFOOTING and RAINBOW
DOME MUSICK, all from the 1970's, were not only among the
core group of albums which helped define the premise upon
which STAR'S END was founded, they have also been a positive
influence on nearly every artist working in the spacemusic genre
ever since. These albums were not the first of their kind, nor the
pinnacle of each artist's career, but listening to the music
released 10, 20 or even 30 years after, one can still trace the
influence of much of today's modern ambient music back to
these essential and enjoyable releases. They also were among
the first to bring some mainstream attention to the then nascent
genre of "spacemusic".
Tune into STAR'S END this weekend for music from three
classics of Spacemusic: RUBYCON by Tangerine Dream, NO
PUSSYFOOTING by Fripp & Eno and RAINBOW DOME MUSICK
by Steve Hillage.
