[Music] Best 70s Music

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

This album is a neglected gem, and as this is an Alan Holdsworth CD, basically, I feel I still have an earlier-soft-machine-track card left to play

Haven't listened to that for years. Crikey...it's good. If you like prog jazz rock.

Another of the earliest albums I bought and, yes, this track jumped. I was never able to hear it properly till I bought the CD.

You may recognise one of the voices (later into the track) is the voice of the original 'Kites', the 60s hit by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound.

This track exemplifies the head-******* that was beginning to appear in the early 70s. And....yet....I still love it.

Man.

Edit, sorry, listen to this one first. This was played in a school music room when I was 12 and I nearly ****ing died and went direct to heaven.

Remember, few of us had heard a synthesizer before. Let alone one used like that

And one from another one of the first 10 LPs I bought.

Just listening to the opening stanza and the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

And then.....the....well I won't spoil it. This is epic. Some smashing tunes around in the 70s, and some amazing iconoclasts. RIP fellas.

You're really selling it.

Since you brought up Allan Holdsworth though, tge other day I came across this track from an abandoned Tony Williams album with him and Jack Bruce and, erm, some other presumably excellent people.



The parts featuring Holdsworth are excellent, and fill the overwhelming majority of the run time. The other parts are forgettable, in so far as I can't remember anything about them. Somebody does some singing, there may or may not be a keyboard solo at one point.

Cheers.

I think that's one that Frank Zappa would have described as 'jazz noodling'

Talking of Zappa. . . . I'm going to post an instrumental to die for. It even has tubular bells! In fact this came out the year before Mike Oldfields tedious dirge.

Couldn't have been Brooks in a prefab

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It is surely just the way my tiny mind works but I'd gone right off them by the time this came out. Perhaps because some of my school mates (the very uncool ones) were all over it. I'm sure [MENTION=37530]monty uk[/MENTION] can explain what we were listening to by then . . . .

Love that. They had been around a looong time by then

I Deffo heard Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd in Brooke's music hut. It was my form room in, errrrr.....70-71 (2L)....or 71-72 (3L). Not sure which year was which. All in the right frame, yearwise....

One of the leading music gurus, so I recall, with albums for the music hut experience, was a bloke called (Graham?) Pexton. A year above me. Keen attendee at the Hungry Years.

I come back to this track again and again . . . . .

Yes, Hammill again....it won't be the last time. One of the great British musical auteurs along with Bowie, John Cale, Mark E smith, Ivor Cutler and Edward Ka-Spel.
