A Forest of features and special bits - new tracks from Amoeba Starfish, Muffler Crunch and Mark Alexander McIntyre, 'mini-features' on David Thomas & The Pedestrians, Second Hand, Jackal, and Maneige.

Artist Album Track Label  
Time start the Nightwatch in fine form with a few new things - a new (and heavy!) upload from Amoeba Starfish (Toronto), and something from the new Muffler Crunch (Ottawa) CD. Then a new purchase (older LP - '85), a collaboration between Dave Thome\as (Pere Ubu), Chris Cutler (Henry Cow, many others), Lindsay Cooper (H.Cow, Comus, etc.).

Now to take a break from the features for a reg'lar old proggy set. I was never huge fan of CANO (aka Coopérative des Artistes du Nouvel-Ontario), but their 1st LP has a few neat cuts!
Van der Graaf The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome Chemical World    
Ashton Gardner, Dyke & Co. What a Bloody Long Day It's Been.... The Falling Song    
CANO Tous dans l'même Bateau Baie St.Marie   Canadian
Now, a quick tour through the 1st 2 LPs from Quebecois Prog band 'Maneige' - a bit more 'symphonic-prog' than is typical for the Nightwatch, but good Canadian muse deserves a home!
Maneige S/T A Year Without end   Canadian
Maneige Les Porches Les Porches de Notre-Dame   Canadian
Since we're headfirst into the instrumental world, I see no reason to stop - we'll just jump into something a bit more jazz-oriented, and work our way towards some more challenging material, a bit more present-day, too. Next week a feature on Blandbaden...
Gilgamesh Another Fine Tune You've Got me Into Darker Brighter    
Soft Machine 7 Penny Hitch    
Bill Frisell Have a Little Faith ('93) Live to Tell    
Bland Bladen I grévens tid ('03) I afton trans    
We'll finish up on a grinding note with some classic Elliott Sharp.
