I was there but could only stay for the first two sets. Alex Maquire's sextet(not 'quintet' as Jon Newey insisted on referring to it as, although admittedly it...
Prog at the BBC is worth a quick view. Once you get past the bombast of Emerson Lake and Palmer, up pops Mr. Ratledge explaining his use of Echoplex. This...
... I thought the documentary was good too, with contributions from Robert Wyatt, Richard Coughlan and, of all people, Mont Campbell! Also interviewed were...
I thought this was a good programme although there have been similar ones on Prog Rock (an older version was screened last night on BBC 4). Mont Campbell was...
... I share the same thoughts. I have to say, though, that seeing a subject line this week with just the word "Hugh" on it scared me as much as a subject line...
Hi everyone Of all the people interviewed, Mont Campbell was the only one whose name I didn't recognise. After the programme, I looked him up in Wikipedia, and...
I agree with Roger re Egg. I was fortunate to see them play in a church of all places (ie nave/apse etc, not a church hall) in Redhill, in 1969 --- the vicar...

Yes, definitely the same guy, although I was surprised to see the long hair and beard which aged him somewhat. I'm surprised he doesn't admit to being in Egg...

While BELLS are the topic, and my old original vinyl is shot, dare anyone recommend a version, whether the original or later, on cd? It can sound corny but I...
Hi everyone This last week has been a real trip back in time for me - my Mum used to really love Tubular Bells when I was a kid, and on top of the Prog...
There have been a number of revisions of the original TB but as I'm no audiophile, they all sound great to me. Tubular Bells 2 is a stunner but avoid Tubular...
Here is something for you all..... There's an mp3 free download for this track on Manzanera's Expression Records site: THE UNKNOWN ZONE (Wyatt/Eno/Manzanera) ...
Do you know anything about Robert Wyatt's music for a film by Artur Aristakisjan called "Mesto na zemle" (aka "A Place On Earth")? I've just read that this...

Hi Alessandro, I found snippets of the film at youtube and in one part there was clearly a part of 'Alifib' listenable. Seems there is no special wyatt...
OK, Rattloids: I'm listening to Jeff Morris Tepper (ex-Captain Beefheart guitarist)'s "Moth to Mouth" CD and "Out and Down" has a VERY Hugh Hopper-ish fuzz...
