[Music] Your favourite track that HWT would hate :wink:

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Going against the theme, but this is the the main track off of the album, Pawn Hearts, by Van der Graff Generator that at 17 no one I knew shared my love of it. I think HWT would approve along with most of what Peter Hammill has produced over the years,


But I will confess to listening to Close to the Edge by Yes, whilst cooking dinner tonight.

OK. You win. You get a double ten for those two pieces of rich entertainment

If I ever meet you, though, I very dare you to look me in the eye and swear that this is the sort of tomfoolery that floats your boat



Edit - my son (age 36) is round for dinner and says.....he has a couple of their albums....'I can't imagine it could be your thing' he tells me

I’m only a couple of years older than your son so I’d imagine there’s plenty of other ‘music’ that we would enjoy that possibly wouldn’t be to your taste.

I have everything PH ever released, much of it on vinyl, all of it recapitulated on CD, including a recent massive and expensibe (>£100) box set with massive photobook.

Seen him live several times (+/- VDGG).

In weft, he's a bit like Legendary Pink Dots and Velvet Acid Christ - absolute meat and potatoes for some people on the aspergers/autism spectrum, while most other people hate them. I could wax lyrical about Hammill till the cows swim home.

When VDGG struck up the first bars of Gog Magog at the Barbican some years ago, there was quite a lot of shit lost among the audience, I can tell you

But you can shove you Close to the Edge up your arse.

I not only love Rock Bottom, but when I was 15/16 my band did a couple of UFO tracks when we performed live (Clair Hall in Haywards Heath, couple of venues in Burgess Hill)

Strangers in the Night is a superb live double album. I remember the record shop I bought it from in 1979 - down the road from my from my first full time job. I also remember having to take it back and exchange it as it jumped in a couple of places. If memory services me correct, the next copy did the same - so maybe it was an issue in the pressing. I kept that one anyway!

From an era when we did well in Eurovision.

I could believe you can like that. But I suspect you can't.

Don't be silly. I love early Atomic Rooster. Death walks behind you.

Octopus was one of the first bits of vinyl I bought.

You aren't very good at this, mon dude.

I genuinely love this. It brings back memories of my Mum's parents who weren't from anywhere near Liverpool (Crowborough actually ) Neither went by the name Lou.
It almost brings a tear to my eye.
