The presence of a new Hawkwind LP sets the stage for a completely self-indulgent feature, playing nearly the entire LP. This is Nightwatch Heaven.
Those who know either myself or The Nightwatch will understand (and hopefully forgive :^D) the fervour with which I greet each new Hawkwind LP. This new LP is no exception - it's very good. |

Since we went on a bit of an acoustic slant, I thought I would play a recently-discovered Comus track from '72 - it's featured on an LP with (wait for it) three NEW Comus tracks! I will play the new tracks as a feature on next Nightwatch, 2 weeks hence... |
The Malgaard Suite Comus - Out Of The Coma |
Now, back to the Space-rock, this time from a band that was made from ex-members of 'Second Hand' (see last Nightwatch's playsheet)... |
Yes! We Have No Pajamas! Chillum - Plus |
El Nino Amoeba Starfish - Oceans Older Than Life |
Playing a few tunes from what's turning into my favourite 'new' Canadian band (though the members might bristle at being referred to as 'new') - if you want more, it can be had here. The CD will be available soon. http://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/ocean-older-than-life/id534506200 |
Super Moon Smoothy Amoeba Starfish - Oceans Older Than Life |
I Afton Trans Bland Bladen - I Grevenstid |
And, to Finish, a bit of improv-jazz-esque material from Norway. Once again, Nightwatch has fulfilled a quanta of it's duty to the music-sphere. |
