The big feature tonight is, of course, the new Swans 3xLP finishing the show (I was very slow in procuring it - it came out some months ago - so no 'big scoop', but it's certainly worth the profile!). Since my usual S.O.P. is to start out heavy, I am reversing the concept and starting out with the proggy/jazz-rock stuff and getting louder as the eve progresses!
| Starting out with a healthy dose of Canadian prog material, but finishing up with one French early-70's release to make way for the zany antics of Etron Fou. |
| People Dillinger - S/T 
|
| Skyclimber M.K.M. - Orchid Island
|
| Alarme a L'Oeil Contraction - La Bourse Ou La Vie
|

| Getting away from the prog-side with 2 tracks from the 1st LP from France's Etron Fou Leloublan, 'Batelages' ca. 1977 - a recent reissue I wanted to play for you... |
| Madame Richard/Larika Etron Fou Leloublan - Batelages |
| Histoire de Graine Etron Fou Leloublan - Batelages |
| A Little diversion into some more 'compositional' material, then into a bit of Rock... and the First appearance of the Swans! |
| The Blackboard Phil Ogisoin - The elopement
|
| A-2 Circle - Triumph |
| Lullaby for Harkit Karen Foster - In Formation Go The Heard
|
| Medium Kim Salmon and the surrealists - Ya Gotta Let Me Do My Thing |

|
| And thus begins the look at the new Swans LP! We now get into the Thick of Things with a 40-minute sampling of the bulk of the album. It is a 3-LP set, so it's by no means the full LP, but it deserves a good long profile! |
