#NowPlaying: John McLaughlin: Mediterranean Concerto. 1990. A fortunate find in a charity shop some years ago, an excellent work

#NowPlaying: @jahwobble.bsky.social and family: Guanyin: 2021.

#NowPlaying: Renaissance: Scheherazade and Other Stories: 1975. It's an epic album from a band that I simply haven't paid enough attention to over the decades.

#NowPlaying: Brian Eno and Harold Budd: The Pearl: 1984. A beautifully chilled way to start a Saturday morning.

Good morning everyone, enjoy your Saturday

#NowPlaying: @jahwobble.bsky.social and Deep Space: Five Beat: One of three CDs I bought at the recent Newport gig, giving them all another spin this weekend.

#NowPlaying: Deep Purple: Who Do We Think We Are: 1973. Last one from MkII until the reunion in 84. I'm listening to the 2000 remaster with a few bonuses

#NowPlaying: British Sea Power: Sea of Brass: 2015. a 2015 release by British Sea Power, featuring a selection of songs from earlier releases re-recorded by the group alongside brass bands. First time I've heard this one.

#NowPlaying: The Utopia Strong: Doperider: 2025.

#NowPlaying: Soft Machine: Seven: 1973. My cd comes in this Original Albums set, which is is great value

#NowPlaying: Jose White: Violin Concerto. From the Black Composers box set, which I occasionally rattle on about.

Good morning everyone, enjoy your Friday

A certain political party (light blue) sent me a letter today asking for my views, with a prepaid envelope to send my response. I've just spent a joyful hour writing a detailed response explaining why I would never consider voting for them, and I don't even have to buy a stamp to post it! 🤣

#NowPlaying: the Best of Deep Purple: 1987 Telstar compilation.

#NowPlaying: Tchaikovsky: Romeo And Juliet: Orchestra/conductor unknown. Budget classical box set

#NowPlaying: Neil Young: Harvest: 1972. Some epic material on this one.

#NowPlaying: Pink Floyd: Live At The Brighton Dome 1972. I bought this a month or two ago, it's interesting for its embryonic versions of DSOTM material, sound quality not great.

Good morning everyone, enjoy your Thursday

#NowPlaying: Can: Kamasutra: Vollendung der Liebe. Another early soundtrack from 1969. The film is mostly lost I believe, which is probably for the best 🤣. The soundtrack was released in 2009. Never heard this before

#NowPlaying: Curved Air: Retrospective: Compilation released 2010

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.” AAARRRGGGHHH

#NowPlaying: Violent Femmes: Add It Up: 1981-1993 compilation album. I was a fan of their first couple of albums at the time, it's been a long time until this revisit. Might be a while before it happens again...

Good morning everyone, enjoy your Wednesday

#NowPlaying: Allan Holdsworth: Sand: 1987.

#NowPlaying: Can: Agilok & Blubbo. Soundtrack from a 1969 film, the band were called The Inner Space at the time. Never heard this before, streaming on Youtube, I didn't;t even know it existed until recently, much the same as the one I'll be playing tomorrow. #CanAthon.

#NowPlaying: David Bowie: Low: 1977. First from the Berlin era, lots of Krautrock influence to be heard here, and of course it became a hugely influential album in its own right

#NowPlaying: Pat Metheney: New York November 1979. Unofficial release recorded for broadcast on WLIR-FM and WRVR-FM

#NowPlaying: The Beatles: Revolver: 1966.

Good morning everyone, enjoy your Tuesday

#NowPlaying: Can: Prehistoric Future: Released in 1985 this is a recording of their first ever performance in 1968. I don't own a copy but I found it on YouTube. It's an improvised jam and the recording quality is not great, but even so it's worth a listen.

#NowPlaying: Can: The Singles: 2017 compilation: This is the last CD in my #Canathon, but there are a couple of soundtracks that I don't have and I'm going to chase them down on the choob later.

#NowPlaying: Wishbone Ash: Argus Then Again Live: released 2008. A radio broadcast album, the whole of Argus live, plus a few extras

Good morning everyone, enjoy your Monday

##NowPlaying: Can: Anthology: 2CD compilation originally released 1994. #CanAthon.

Good morning everyone, enjoy your Sunday. Out for lunch today with the family to celebrate Mrs L's birthday(whichever last Thursday 😀)

My easy method to make sure I don't buy Any AI music is only to buy old stuff! 🤣 (not entirely true, but for the most part...)

#NowPlaying: Queensryche: Operation Mindcrime: 1988. Prog metal pioneers or whatever? it's not bad...

For anyone who's interested in #ModelRailways, here's a short video of my layout when it was in our @n-gauge-newport.bsky.social exhibition last year. #Railway #Trains #Ngauge

If anybody here is local to Newport please come and join us at St Julians Methodist this morning for Warm Spaces. We're on Caerleon Road opposite the Spar

#NowPlaying: Curved Air: Second Album: 1971.

#NowPlaying: Can: Rite Time: 1989. A reunion album which included original vocalist Michael Mooney, the final studio album, but I've got a couple more comps and whatnot lined up for the #CanAthon

Excellent set from Curved Air last night, they were on top form. Special mention goes to violinist Grzegorz Gadziomski. One more gig for me this year, after which I will do my annual round up thread.

morning everyone, enjoy your Saturday

Obligatory pre gig shot

#NowPlaying: Curved Air: Aircut: 1973

Penultimate gig of the year this evening; Curved Air at the Earl Haig in Cardiff. Never seen them before so warming up with a few of their albums today. #NowPlaying: Air Conditioning: 1970.

Mrs L and I went to see Fiddler On The Roof in Cardiff last night. Not my usual cup of tea at all, but I have to say it was an excellent show, great musicianship and it's a gritty story about changing of culture and tradition in the early communist days of Russia. (not my photo)

#NowPlaying: Can: Can: 1979. Even though Holger has little input into this album, it sounds much more 'Can-like' than the previous album. This was the last studio album until Rite Time, ten years later. I'll be spinning that one tomorrow.

I'm starting a band called Safety Curtain. When we tour provincial theatres we will have a premade backdrop 🤣

Obligatory pre gig(?) shot
