A Forest of features and special bits - new tracks from Amoeba Starfish, Muffler Crunch and Mark Alexander McIntyre, 'mini-features' on David Thomas & The Pedestrians, Second Hand, Jackal, and Maneige.
| Time start the Nightwatch in fine form with a few new things - a new (and heavy!) upload from Amoeba Starfish (Toronto), and something from the new Muffler Crunch (Ottawa) CD. Then a new purchase (older LP - '85), a collaboration between Dave Thome\as (Pere Ubu), Chris Cutler (Henry Cow, many others), Lindsay Cooper (H.Cow, Comus, etc.). |

| Now to take a break from the features for a reg'lar old proggy set. I was never huge fan of CANO (aka Coopérative des Artistes du Nouvel-Ontario), but their 1st LP has a few neat cuts! |

| Baie St.Marie CANO - Tous dans l'même Bateau
|
| Now, a quick tour through the 1st 2 LPs from Quebecois Prog band 'Maneige' - a bit more 'symphonic-prog' than is typical for the Nightwatch, but good Canadian muse deserves a home! |
| A Year Without end Maneige - S/T
|
| Les Porches de Notre-Dame Maneige - Les Porches
|
| Since we're headfirst into the instrumental world, I see no reason to stop - we'll just jump into something a bit more jazz-oriented, and work our way towards some more challenging material, a bit more present-day, too. Next week a feature on Blandbaden... |
| Darker Brighter Gilgamesh - Another Fine Tune You've Got me Into |
| Penny Hitch Soft Machine - 7 |
| Live to Tell Bill Frisell - Have a Little Faith ('93) |
| I afton trans Bland Bladen - I grévens tid ('03) |
| We'll finish up on a grinding note with some classic Elliott Sharp. |
| Marco Polo's Argail Eliott Sharp - Split LP w/ Carbon - Dossier, 1985 |
