what are you listening to at the moment?

Hmmm. Elements of Jean-Michel Jarre sprang to mind

Wot , mad and French 

They remind me of the sort of act I used to see at down at heel jazz dives in parts of Germany.

Likewise.
I'm in the train room for a bit tomorrow  morning doing aa bit of tidying up so a good chance to give that little lot a listen.

@Newportnobby    @Moonglum  @port perran   It's a very varied mix of stuff, I hope you'll like some of it - some you probably won't   

fyi I was the drummer for track #2 Space Muck Mother, which was a live gig recording back in 1997. Not sure if I can still play it at that speed now - not without a lot of warm-up first anyway!   

A couple of the other tracks I know from bands contemporary with us back in the 90s, but the vast majority are new to me

@ntpntpntp , I did briefly listen to track 2 and noted the very open and forward hi-hat in the mix at the beginning! I am no drummer though - didn't realize that you are!

When I listen to something new (en masse), I tend to give each track about 20 seconds and if it hasn't grabbed me by then I move on to the next one. So, we shall see how it goes in due course.

I have though now listened to all of track 2, bit Hawkwindy in places...

That guy in the beginning was very talented to get that conch to sound like a french horn....

That's a blast from the past @kusojiji ! I recall Roger Whittaker appearing on the TV a lot during the 60s/70s and he only died in 2023. I quite liked "Durham Town", a bit cheesy by today's standards...

He had an interesting past and life story.
