Requests 1: Amrakus Space Opera, Gianni Bonfiglio Luci Spent etc., Basil Kirchin Don't lose your cool, Sheriff [Sensations Fix], Sven Libaek Grass the Musical, Id Where are we going

 









That cover for Id's Where are we Going? from 1977 (recorded in 1975 in NYC) is just priceless, isn't it? And of course quite pertinent and topical for our times too, given the new directions we have taken in worldwide politics this year. On top of that I've always loved that album dearly, with its crazy psychedelic, almost outdated sound (in the late 70s) thanks in part to the mellotron and the hippieish naivete of the lyrics, in some place too reminding me of Yeti's Things to Come. Sadly a one-off from this band.
For Sven Libaek, who was and is a Norwegian-born Australian composer I posted the very library Solar Flares from 1974 which is great listening too, recalling the great Hawkshaw in places even.

  4. Wow!!! Looks like Christmas came early this year - Thank you so much Julian!!! I would've been more than happy with just a couple of my requests, but here are all 6 :) :) :)
    The winter solstice is a happy day now, and not just for myself but for the entire musical community....most of these I've not seen posted and shared before, and if they were it was long ago and the links are long dead...
    Listening to the ID album and it is great, yes one of those hidden classics where the cover art is as good as the music and they complement and strengthen each other!
    Really looking forward to sampling some Grass,
    only heard a few tracks from that Lp and was always intrigued to hear more :) ...and that's so awesome you included Solar Flares too! Its going a long musical night of happy listening :)
    Santa Julian making the season bright,
    Thanks again bro, you made my holiday with this.
    Merry Christmas!
