Glad to be at the helm of the Nightwatch - a good consolation for having the Hawkwind show in Toronto cancelled! I was going to be away from the Nightwatch for that event; many thanks to Mark Keill of Infinite Ceiling for promising to do the show - I may call on you again!
Starting the show on a sad note - Hawkwind's tour of North America has been postponed because of health problems. Main mind Dave Brock has been having some issues, and we here at the Nightwatch are sending thoughts of good health over the aether to him. |
Assault & Battery/Golden Void Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time |
London Town Girl Epitaph - S/T |
Gypsy Uriah Heep - S/T |
Dance The Mutation Simply Saucer - Cyborgs Revisited |
Had to mix the Epitaph and Uriah Heep numbers - they were too similar to not give it a try. Now on to Feature #1 - a new LP by Residual Echoes, a great L.A. neo-psych/punk band, and their 10th anniversary release. |
A Marriage Residual Echoes - Middle Path |
Might as well follow up one 'Feature' with another - a side from the second and latest LP by Brooklyn psychsters 'Nymph' and the LP 'New Millenium Prayer'. |
Beyond Battle Funk Nymph - New Millenium Prayer |
Raag Mon Nymph - New Millenium Prayer |
From Nymph to a forgotten still-active Canadian band - GUH, and their 1999 LP 'We Are Sunburning'. |
Mango GUH - We Are Sunburning |
Patron Bentley GUH - We Are Sunburning |
Shickendance GUH - We Are Sunburning |
I had promised last Nightwatch that you would be hearing more from the Swans' 'Swans Are Dead' 2xCD, and I'm as good as my word: this time we'll hear a cut from the 'Final Tour 1997' CD - sorry, not two, time's tight!. |
Feel Happiness Swans - Swans are Dead |
New York Girls Angels of Light - How I Loved You |
Now an abrupt 180-turn from the doom-folk and post-punk... let there be no confusion, this is a profusion of fusion! RIP George Duke, earlier this year. |
I C'n Hear That George Duke - Liberated Fantasies - 1976 |
Nuclear Blast Brand X - S/T - 1975 |
Part II - Venusian Summer Lenny White - Venusian Summer - 1976 |
Water Rhythms Aptmospheres - Voyages to Uranus - 1974 |
Finshed that set with one of my favourite new puchases (the rest of the Aptmospheres LP is as amazing, and now we're finishing with a full-LP listen to an unlikely 'fusion' contender - Canadian band FM - their 1st release was a 2-side-long-cuts LP, and reflects more fusion/improv/prog than in any of their later LPs. |
