It’s a wonderful album. Not sure it receives the acclaim it deserves. Not sure any Feat album does tbh but Dixie Chicken is the one that seems to get most of the attention. Sailin’ Shoes my particular favourite but all the George albums are essential for me. I still miss Lowell. A special talent.

Roxy Music - Deluxe
The debut album with the John Peel sessions making up the whole album except Bitters End but with Virginia Plain.
Great to hear the album in stripped down radio sessions form in contrast to the dodgy Pete Sinfield album production.
A Mrs Jagger on the cover.

Sielun Veljet (“Brothers of Soul”) was a highly influential post-punk band of the 1980s. It was formed in 1983 by singer/guitar player, Ismo Alanko, and lead guitarist, Jukka Orma, from the remains of the successful new wave band, Hassisen Kone (“Hassinen’s Machine”). From 1979 to 1983 Hassisen Kone had evolved quickly from melodic three-chord punk to a rock band with more progressive tendencies. After audiences started demanding only the band’s early hits at concerts, however, Hassisen Kone decided to call it a day, and Sielun Veljet was born soon thereafter. Alanko and Orma recruited a rhythm section in order to perform new songs live in concert. Percussionist Alf Forsman had played with many superstars of Finnish music in the '70s, but bassist Jouko Hohko was a newcomer. The band also included lighting technician Hannu Viholainen in its lineup. The sound of the newly formed band was intense, propulsive and funky, and concert performances would become legendary. They had no intention of taping new material in the studio at the time, but that decision would soon be reconsidered.

Tangerine Dream | Reims Cathédrale Notre Dame | 1974
One of the Tangs very finest gigs, playing disc one of two from Volume 30 of The Tangerine Tree. This gig and recording has now turned 50 years old and remains a wonderful snapshot into what was a great evening in such a magnificent setting. Well played Edgar you set the pace.

Listened to the concert off YouTube by the pool this afternoon. A lot better than is often made out. Amazing only 3 instruments and a voice. Whole Lotta Love gets quite funky.
Now calming it down.
