#np "5th Season"

#np Ensemble Contraste - "Miroir(s)"

#np "Blues Pills" Debut from 2014, there's a lot of "Then Play On" era Fleetwood Mac here, and it's none the worse for that 😎

@glenwotherspoon.bsky.social post yesterday of the Year of the Cat and the reference to Peter Lorre made me think of this. #np Jon and Vangelis - "The Friends of Mr Cairo" I wonder how many other Maltese Falcon, Bogart, Greenstreet, Lorre references there are out there 🤔

#np Drifting Sun - "Alice" Very nice EP from these guys.

#np Roy Wood - "Boulders" I don't play this often, but it's an interesting mix of styles, including tracks that could well have been left off the first ELO album. Introduced to me through "Dear Elaine" being on one of the Harvest samplers.

#np In Continuum - "Acceleration Theory" One of Mr Kertzner's many projects😎

#np Happy The Man - "3rd: Better Late..."

Having a Procol'ish afternoon .... #np Procol Harum - "Exotic Birds and Fruit"

#np Procol Harum - "Procol's Ninth"

#np Gary Moore - "Blues for Greeny" Not exactly the most prepossessing of covers, but "it does what it says on the tin" very well indeed.

#np Albinoni - "Oboe Concerti Vol 1"

Whilst I'm ambling about in the formative years of "Canterbury" I thought it only appropriate to play this ... #np Soft Machine - "The Soft Machine"

#np "Caravan" Debut from this bunch of musicians, who at various times had been part of the Wilde Flowers, prior to establishing their reputation as one of the seminal "Canterbury" bands.

🤣😂

@primarilyprog.bsky.social playing "Spring" this morning made me think of this..... #np England - "Garden Shed"

#np Steve Hackett - "The Tokyo Tapes" The collaboration between Messrs Hackett, Wooten & McDonald, to say nothing of the other musicians, here is simply amazing.

#np IQ - "Frequency"

#np "Quicksilver Messenger Service"

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

#np David Bowie - "Heathen" An often overlooked and underrated album it seems to me. Don't forget to keep your head warm

#np Porcupine Tree - "Signify" Hard to believe this is 30 years old this year!

#np David Bowie - "The Next Day"

Some more British Blues/Rock #np "Steamhammer" (often wrongly titled "Reflection" which was actually the label)

Time for some good old early 70s British Blues/Rock #np Trapeze - "Medusa"

#np David Bowie - "The man who sold the world"

#np Peter Daltry - "The Life and Times of Blue Larry and the Huguenot Kid"

#np Fairfield Parlour - "From Home to Home" Late for the 60s Psych boom (issued in 1970) but none the worse for that.

#np Trader Horne - "Morning Way"

#np Jethro Tull - "Aqualung" The album that marked the definitive shift away from the more blues based material of the past.

#np Spock's Beard - "Snow"

#np "Mark Hollis"

#np David Bowie - "Heroes" it seemed only appropriate 😎

#np David Bowie - "Low"

#np Peter Gabriel - "Full Stretch"

Time for a little Norwegian Folk/Jazz/Rock #np "Elds Mark"

#np Tom Waits - "Closing Time"

#np "Buddha-Bar - Winter Sessions Courchevel"

#np The Nice - "The Thoughts Of Emerlist DavJack"

#np "The Youngbloods" Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now

#np Dantalian's Chariot - "Chariot Rising" Interesting oddity from the 60s psych catalogue, featuring Zoot Money & Andy Summers. Recorded in '67 but never fully released until '95

Such a brilliant and evocative and photograph 😎

#np Lars Frederik Froislie - "Gamle Mester"

#np Spock's Beard - "The Archaeoptimist" It's taken a little while, but this is begining to grow on me.

Obligatory pre-gig photo

#np Pink Floyd - "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" All movement is accomplished in six stages And the seventh brings return.

#np Pink Floyd - "A Saucerful Of Secrets" The first Floyd album I bought 😎

#np Gong - "Unending Ascending" A late entry in the Gong catalogue for a change.

#np Ozric Tentacles - "Lotus Unfolding"

#np Patter-Seeking Animals - "Friend of all Creatures"
