Quote from: ultralinear on March 09, 2024, 08:44:56 AMYes I saw them play that set around the same time, including a 20-minute Interstellar Overdrive as an encore. This may not have been their original intention, however when they came out for the 2nd encore, some guy in the audience started shouting "INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE! INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE!"  - over and over, very loud - clearly wasn't going to stop - until in the end Roger Waters shrugged, and shouted back "WELL IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT...!" ;D

Apparently Tangerine Dream used to play that nearly every night in the late 60s. Which I can well imagine having listened to Electronic Meditation 8) .

Quote from: AnotherSpin on March 09, 2024, 06:25:09 AMNo, there is no direct connection with Schubert's cycle. Maybe the mood is similar, melancholy and despair.
I thought that by looking at the titles that it might be about a relationship maybe forming and then dissolving and perhaps a person looking back.  Then again, I didn't listen to much of it.

Do you know why he named the album that?

    In 1970 I went to see the Tony Williams Lifetime in Portchester, N.Y in a small theater. I was baffled by them since my larval concept of fusion was Larry Coryell.

Good anthology for folks like me, who like their hits but don't feel like digging into the individual albums. 80 minutes of proggy goodness!

Archaic Torso of Apollo

Quote from: Karl Henning on February 19, 2024, 06:52:39 AMI still remember my excitement on seeing Discipline in the record store. "They're back!"

Going back to Discipline for a moment. Listening to the title tune, I thought: "This would make a great keyboard piece." Turns out I wasn't alone in thinking this; I got on YouTube and found:


But hey, that wasn't all. There's a great version of this for percussion too:

Opens with a superb cover of Richard and Linda Thompson's "I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight" and includes an equally fine version of "Barbara's Song from Threepenny Opera. And I was gladdened to hear her do Kate Bush's "The Kick Inside".

I have not heard of her before, but it sounds like she might be right up my alley!  Is this a fairly recent album?  And does she play by herself or has a band?

For those on phones that it is The Jesus and Mary Chain Glasgow Eyes.

This is her second album from 1978 - the same year as Kate Bush's debut, from which she covers. There's also a Kate and Anna McGarrigle sone which would also have been a recent release, and interesting choices of songs by Sandy Denny and John Lennon.

Its with a band, but with multiple guest musicians on each track it has a wide variety of band sound.

Listening to the first CD from that 50th anniversary boxed set of the Beatles' Abbey Road (which was remastered by Giles Martin).  Sounds great to me though I don't have a CD of the original A.R. to compare it to.

This might be my favorite song of hers - she is, I feel, a seeming embodiment of freedom, and her voice is out of this world (superb control).

Followed by maybe the perfect album to represent the alternative/grunge movement: Pearl Jam's Ten:


An album, back then, you could have recorded off the radio, as all these tracks were played with great consistency.
