Well, great at the start and finish but some wonky moments in the middle. I notice that the recent reissue includes their cover of White Rabbit, which I only heard once in the distant past but I'd like to hear again. Wasn't side 4 a collection of live tracks? For some reason I ended up with the reissue consisting of just the studio tracks (no curtain call) in a Beatles syle embosssed black sleeve. >Curtain Call - their 18-minute epic - contains the words "suddenly - like a >fly in a cup of tea"...

Surely that's from something on Phantasmagoria. >Kaftwerk In the irretrievable past is a version of The Model performed by my brother on a variety of mono synths. Unable to afford anything fancy like a portastudio we had to multitrack using two cassette players and a mixer. Problem was that only one machine would record and ran a tad faster than the other one, resulting in the earlier tracks getting slower and sludgier as layers were added. Whenever I hear of the The Model this is what comes to mind. A bizarre musical experience this year was a set of Kaftwerk pieces performed by a percussionist (electronic xylophone thingy and conventional drum kit) and a string quartet. A little too close to disco in a few places but fantastic in many others.

Soft Machine 2 is more jazz-rock, though less so than subsequent records, as Robert Wyatt is still singing some of the early material.

Another notable example of their eccentric behavior was reported to Johnny Marr of The Smiths by Karl Bartos, who explained that anyone trying to contact the band for collaboration would be told the studio telephone did not have a ringer, as during recording the band did not like to hear any kind of noise pollution. Instead, callers were instructed to phone the studio at a certain time on the dot, whereupon the phone would be answered by Ralf H|tter, despite himself never hearing the phone ring. H|tter: "The telephone is an antiquity  you never know who is calling, there is no image, it is an outmoded product which constantly disrupts work." (interviewed in Liberation, 1991) (...) There is an anecdote about Johnny Marr, of The Smiths fame; Marr wanted to hold a recording session in the studios, and after several fruitless attempts to call the studio directly and mailing to them, he was told by the record company to call at a precise time on a precise date. The phone was answered immediately by a member of Kraftwerk, without showing any sign of ringing. Pure genius, that. I think their first two albums are their best. They're raw, naive, and have lots of that bloopy, "let's see what happens when we put this patch cord in this input" analog sound-generator-generated, Raymond Scott, hippy/proggy vibe. I think one of the last great explosions of musical expression and creativity occurred in the late 60s/early70s when the hippies got their hands on newfangled technology and synthesizers -- Silver Apples, 50 Foot Hose, Kraftwerk, etc. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 11:34:46 -0400 From: wojbearpig Subject: pittsburgh and toronto robyn shows on ticketmaster http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/16003D320499A3C5 Robyn Hitchcock Rex Theatre, Pittsburgh, PA Mon, Nov 13, 2006 07:45 PM Event Details ELKO CONCERTS PRESENTS ROBYN HITCHCOCK & VENUS 3 PLUS PETER BUCK OF REM REX THEATRE OVER 21 MON NOV 13 2006 7:45PM US $17.00 Internet Onsale Info Onsale to General Public: Fri, 09/22/06 10:00 AM EDT Get a Text Message Reminder Get a Text Message Reminder http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/10003D33F0A6ED61 Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3 Mod Club Theatre, Toronto, ON Fri, Nov 10, 2006 09:00 PM Event Details ATG PRESENTS ROBYN HITCHCOCK & THE VENUS 3 MOD CLUB - 722 COLLEGE ST LEGAL AGE 19 YRS FRI NOV 10, 2006 DRS 9PM CA $20.00 Internet Onsale Info Onsale to General Public: Thu, 09/21/06 10:00 AM EDT ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 09:38:00 -0700 From: "Spotted Eagle Ray" Subject: Re: One last batch ;) On 9/19/06, Eb wrote: > > Thoughts? > > Gene Clark-Roadmaster The most ragged and patched-together of Gene's three masterpiece records (as in it shouldn't be as good as it is... it's sort of patched together, the polar opposite of No Other) but I'd call it underrated.

Sorry if I was unclear... the reunion record is largely below the benchmark maintained by the White/Battin/Gene-but-not-that Gene Parsons-but-not-that-Parsons Byrds. There are good songs and great playing on a lot of those records, although some of the material is slight, and I really despise the live side of "Untitled", with the side-long, bass-solo-having vivisection of "Eight Miles High". I actually like Byrdmaniax, which gets a bad rap for overproduction, and Dr. Byrds pretty well. They all have their moments. > Did The Byrds-Byrds get a re-issuelately?

Oh joy! I felt that way this morning, after a fashion. And I'll tell you why. I drive towards Lake Michigan most every morning around dawn, and with the right weather conditions a layer of clouds the /exact shape/ of the lake below will exist into the first couple hours of sunlight. Usually grey and of variable thickness and definition, I'm still surprised how many mornings it is there in some form or another. This particular morning under a startling blue sky there were banks upon banks of fluffy, sparkling white clouds. Maybe only a few thousand feet high but extending across much of the horizon left to right. Clearly defined, pure white, folded in row after row in upon themselves so a great sense of distance was conveyed. Sky mountains, dotted with shadowed valleys and shining white peaks. In several places the interstate climbs gradually, and in those brief moments the road seemed to climb straight into a white, glistening Valhalla. The surrounding buildings and cars faded away. I felt young again. Anyway I couldn't decide on what music to put on that would match the occasion, so I threw on some classic Rush instead. I'd like to say I fired up a big fatty as well, but alas...middle-aged life and all that.
