Definitely a neat Nightwatch - a lot of features, new releases, nifty old stuff...
| Starting Out With a Preview of some yet-to-be-released tracks from one of The Nightwatch's favourite local bands, Death Cake! |
| Apparatus Death Cake - Unreleased! 
|
| Youth's Last Luxury Death Cake - Unreleased!
|
| Also note: They're playing this Friday (Feb 28th) at Cafe Dekcuf with Destroy Clocks, The Glorious MoonRockets, The Gutter Rocks and Amalgamation! Time to delve into some latter-day Atomic Rooster - recorded in 1980, but never released (and, IMHO much better than the 1980's material that they DID release), it finally got re-mixed by guitarist/vocalist John DuCann in 2005, and released on Sireena Records. |
| Watch Out Atomic Rooster - Atomic Rooster - Sireena |
| In the Shadows Atomic Rooster - Atomic Rooster - Sireena |
| Seven Streets Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You |
| Dwarf The Clown Tokyo sex Whale - Feed The Beast
|
| Le Fou Idee Du Nord - V/A - Naked In The Marsh 10"
|
| Now, a bit of self-indugence - the last 3 'proper' studio Hawkwind LPs have been seeing my turntable in the past few weeks, so I thought I'd play a track or two off of each of them as a set on it's own. |
| Wraith Hawkwind - Blood of The Earth |
| Prometheus Hawkwind - Blood of The Earth |
| Southern Cross Hawkwind - Onward |
| The Flowering Of The Rose Hawkwind - Onward |
| All Our Dreams Hawkwind Light Orchestra - Stellar Variations |
| Instant Predictions Hawkwind Light Orchestra - Stellar Variations |
| Feels good to lay out a good whack-o-Hawkwind! Now a bit of Canadian psych and post-rock before the Zombi Feature! |
| Mole Machine Simply Saucer - Here Come The Cyborgs
|
| 'Piphany Rambler Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra - plays 'Kollaps Traditionales'
|
| Time for the feature on Zombi's 'Surface to Air' LP - a great band from Pittsburgh... but now located in Chicago, they've been around since the early 00's and have 6 LPs out ('Surface to Air' being their 2006 release)... must track down more! |
| Legacy Zombi - Surface to Air |
| Night Rhythms Zombi - Surface to Air |
| Time's running short, and there's much to get to, so this set gets truncated - I had planned to play some 70's Quebec Prog... but next time! |
| Supertzar Black Sabbath - Sabotage |
| Light at the Speed of Sound High Watt Electrocutions - Desert Opuses
|
| A Bit of an 'impromptu mini feature' - certainly different than much of what gets featured on the Nightwatch, a few tracks from Texas Band Midlake's 2013 LP 'Antiphon'. Very smooth, reminiscent of late-70's Camel, with an '80's pop appeal. It's stuck in my head and won't leave! |
| Ages Midlake - Antiphon |
| Vale Midlake - Antiphon |
| Provider Midlake - Antiphon |
| And now, a final track - a band called Aphodite's Child from France, who released 3 LPs in the late-60's/early-70's, and featured the keyboardist who went on to be known as 'Vangelis' (remember the 'Chariots of Fire' theme?). |
| All The Seats Were Occupied Aphodite's Child - 666 |
