Ahhh... the day of the Community Record Show! It was a great one, and the listeners of The Nightwatch will benefit... for two shows worth of features! This show highlights the harder-rocking/psychedelic and proggier side of the purchases... the next Nightwatch, in 2 weeks' time, will lean more heavily on the jazz/fusion finds!
| Lots of great music to go on this program, starting with a few tracks from a re-issue of the Carol Grimes and Delivery LP 'Fool's Meeting' - great early Cantebury vibe before we start working to the anarchic Rock-in-opposition of Cassiber! |
| Miserable Man Delivery w/ Carol Grimes - Fool's Meeting |
| Home-made ruin Delivery w/ Carol Grimes - Fool's Meeting |
| The Wrong Time Delivery w/ Carol Grimes - Fool's Meeting |
| Now a set of 'general music', to set the stage for something a bit more abrasive, starting with a track from Hawkwind main-man's latest solo LP, 'Looking for Love in the Lost Land of Dreams'. I don't actually have the CD, but found this track on the compilation that came out with the magazine 'Prog'. |
| It's Never Too Late Dave Brock - Looking for Love in the Lost Land of Dreams 
|
| Personal Magician Dead Wrestler - 6-Song EP 
|
| I said Pushkins - Inviting and Invading
|
| What a Russian spy (Buddha Laundromat) Spiny Anteaters - Last supper
|
| Now a few songs from Cassiber's 1985 LP 'Beauty and the Beast' LP - since it's led by Chris Cutler (Henry Cow, Art Bears, etc.), it's definitely prime Rock-In-Opposition, and may be one of the more aggressive combinations he put together... |
| Ach Heile Mich Cassiber - Beauty and the Beast |
| Haruspices Cassiber - Beauty and the Beast |
| Trendre la Lune avec Les Dents Cassiber - Beauty and the Beast |
| At Last I am Free! Cassiber - Beauty and the Beast |
| After the Cassiber assault, we move away from jagged and angular, to get towards the Hard rock, Kraut rock and, eventually, jazz, that lies in the future of the Nightwatch, starting with perhaps some of the final works of little-know but long-lived, and, in some circles, legendary improv/experimental Ottawa Band, Jaws of the Flying Carpet |
| Track 5 Jaws of the Flying Carpet - Recordings from 2000AD
|
| Anticipate Phil Ogison - Reverb Nation
|
| Berlin The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol - Scrappy Little Jaw
|
| Now for the hard rock - but a band without a gutar, just Organ, Bass, Drums. British band that released one LP in 1970 - Quatermass |
| Post-War Saturday Echo Quatermass - Quatarmass |
| Make Up Your Mind Quatermass - Quatarmass |
| Laughin' Tackle Quatermass - Quatarmass |
| Time is running out, so I eschew the 'connecting set' of music, and am jumping right into the Next Feature - one of the Kraut-rock greats, Birth Control. Their Live 2xLP is considered a high-water mark. |
| The Work Is Done Birth Control - Live |
| Gamma Ray Birth Control - Live |
| Yes, the Birth Control tunes are long... but it just might be the crowning find of the Record show, so deserves a good chunk of air-time! Now a few tunes before the final Canterbury-drenched final track! |
| Flossing With Buddha Mahogany Frog - Senna
|
| Om Zanka Magma - Ihedits |
| We will be hearing more from that Magma LP next week - I wanted to play at least one track today, just because I am excited at having that LP back after having sold it in the mid-90's... but it will fit well with the more jazz-oriented theme of Record-con purchases in 2 week's time. Now, tho, we finish off the Nightwatch with the side-long track from the self-titled debut LP from a less-heralded Canterbury band, Egg. |
| Symphony #2 Egg - Egg |
