Skeleton Crew! Embryo!

Fewer Features this week, probably a good thing! Finding the Skeleton Crew LP was a stroke of luck, though, and many thanks to Bijon (Host of the Mind Melt) for Supplying the Embryo LP!
Start with something from ex-Bureaucrats' bassist Grant Bukosky, and his current project, Burning Squirrel. It then starts to get a little strange, leading up to...

Now time to stretch out with some more Friuth Madness and a lengthy track from a re-formed version of the band Massacre (2007, with Bill Laswell on bass and Charles Hayward on Drums)!

Now hitting some great, straight-up acid rock with a great rendition of the Ventures' 'Walk Don't Run' as interpreted by...

Ur-Whales
Space Debris - Elephant Moon
Stay Dead, Lazarus
The Spirit of Christmas - Lies to Live By Canadian
I have always loved Embryo, and once owned 'Father, Son and Holy Ghosts'... but sold it about 20 years ago in a fit of poverty. Finally it makes it's way back into my hands via the munificence of Bijon (Host of the Mind Melt). So a public thank-you is in order!
