Went to this gig last night. I'm not overly familiar with Allan's solo work in comparison to his work with Soft Machine, Gong and UK. However it was an...
Hi everyone, I forgot to mention this, but the same day I sent Paul Robinson my inquiry I had also sent Jeff Clyne and Pepi Lemer (no answer from PL yet)...
OK Rattloids-- Last night, I saw Rachel Unthank and the Winterset at Jammin' Java, Vienna, VA. They were simply sensational, everything you could want in a...

I wonder if any Rattlers might have a copy of the 'South Bank Show' from 1979 which featured the making of Neil Ardley's 'Harmony of the Spheres'? I know it's...
Hello, Is anyone in the group going to be at the Peter Hammill show this coming Tuesday in Chicago? Best wishes, Andrea [Offlist replies only please - A.]...
I saw him this summer at Nearfest in PA and as much as I love this man's body of work (to be fair, I¹m more of a fan of his Virgin Records catalog than his...
An almost similar experience for me seeing A.H. in Manchester. I'm not overly familiar with his solo work but thoroughly enjoyed the gig. A reasonable...
I saw him at Kendal brewery a few nights earlier. That might have been the first night of the tour. Allan was delayed. Chad and Ernest were waiting for him on...
For fans of Nik Baertsch's Ronin discs on ECM (Stoa and Holon), his reedman, Sha, has his first album out, and it's absolutely a part of Baertsch's Ritual...

This may be of interest and in support of a good cause. Carol sang with Delivery in the late 60's (with Phil and Steve Miller, Roy Babington and Pip Pyle). And...
Actually, Allan didn't do so many albums after "Wardenclyffe Tower", which is maybe my favorite album ("Sphere Of Innocence" is maybe my favorite tune of...

Hi folks, A review of the recent Isotope archival live recording set, with guitarist Gary Boyle and ex-Soft Machiner Hugh Hopper on bass. Wonderful! ...
That may be a wonderful album but it's a pretty poor review. He's said absolutely nothing about the tracks - merely listed a history, a number of dubious...
Hi everyone, Hi all, I've just received the Blue Notes box set yesterday, and all I can say is...HOLY ****!!! I mean the box is worth every penny to hardcore...
Greetings! I believe that the original question was which Holdsworth discs to check out. I've been a fan since I picked up the first Tempest album in a cut-out...

In the past two years I've caught Holdsworth's live act a couple of times. Every spring he plays the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA, just about. Each time it's...
