This Nightwatch, in stark contrast to last Nightwatch (which was almost ALL feature, in one form or another), this is a 'no feature' show (as will the next one likely be) - just 3 hours of neat music.
Starting in the heavier, structured vein. Interesting to note that the Gordons went on to become 90's alternative-noise-sters Bailter Space. Also, another track from new O-town band Dead Wrestler! |

Finishing with a track from one of the best, most 'live' sounding LPs ever, The Aints' SLSQ. Now, I said I wan't much of a 'Top-releases-list' kinda guy, but this deserves a special mention - Hawkwind's 'Onward' LP. |

Moving deftly from heavy rock, thru prog, we get to a bit of jazz-rock, wending our to a bit of a reggae-dub feel in the next set - I'm trying to work into playing the 2nd side of the Can 'Live' record. |

And now we've got the kraut-rock craziness going, onto a bit of Out of Focus! |

Moving from rom the Kraut to the more recent materia, we move into the Zeuhl style with something new, a great band from Chicago called Ga'an, and then we finish the Nightwatch with a classic of the genre, Magma, Live in 1975. |
