I agree 100% - it could be problems with the pressing, with the distribution, or in fact hundreds of things that are completely out of control of the band itself. I am sure that the band would not delay the release themselves - they want people to hear their work.

Behold the Man for another early book (but controversially religious). Read a Jerry Cornelius - any. Cure for Cancer, The Final Programme and The English Assasain are all still on my bookshelves. There are many alter-ego variants of Jerry Cornelius - Jherek Carnelian is one (if memory serves) and that basic character seems to haunt all Moorcock's books while other metamorphosed characters keep emerging in transmuted forms in other series. Warlord of the Air transposes Victorian and recent histories and there may be other, more recent, series that do this as well - all of them embracing a Fin de Siecle (End of an Age) atmosphere. I've almost entirely avoided any sword and sourcery books and though I did read the last Elric 'Revenge of the Rose' (dare I say this?) I found it strangely boring. Brothel In Rosenstrasse has plenty of the erotic (as you might expect from the title) combined with "stream of consciousness" writing style and I can't remember the book (either Rituals of Infinity or Entropy Tango) that has The Mountain Grill with various Hawkwind Band members sitting at all the different tables but the band also gets a brief mention in one of the Jerry Cornelius books. But I'm sure other people will offer you a completely different selection!

EQUALLY FRUSTRATING..despite all the legal wrangling, of a hundred record co changes and a hundred members coming and going...and the limited "sellability" factor ..why the heck cant Hawkwind sort out their back catalogue of studio CDs AND GET THEM RELEASED??Theres virtually nothing post "hall of.."available..Even the pretty awful "distant horzons" is already deleted, and fetching a packet on Ebay.(They managed the EMI released triple cd of studio material, covering ALL phases of their lengthy career..so it MUST be possible)..but.. All thats available are pages and pages of mainly pretty grim "live this, live that"..and the "wierd tapes" collection..Woopee.. Then they moan about Rock Fever, and Sunrise Records..Personally,im rapidly changing my viewpoint about these illegal cds..At least they look professional and are making the material available..and fans really want to complete their studio cd collection(ok, ive got everything on vinyl up to about "palace springs")..then the rest on cd,but.. those missing years between "hall" and when i started buying cds..nitemare! .. AND WHY SHOULD WE PAY EXTORTIONATE AMOUNTS ON EBAY??..but the likelihood of anything post '74,studio released AND official looks evermore unlikely..(and p.s.- this studio stuff isnt even available on "pay"download sites for you young peoples ipods and mp3 players- :-)!)

Perhaps he can at least be directed to the Roadburn stream (which ought to still be up). That said, even if Hawkwind *wanted* to provide some MP3 samples of older recordings on their Web site, they might have legal problems doing so. The obvious samples to include would be stuff from the EMI remasters; who, actually, has the rights to that stuff at the moment? The best bet may be to rush off to iTunes Music Store, the UK version of which (at least) has quite a lot of vintage Hawkwind available in standard iTMS-style 30-second samples.

Message-ID: Easy - at the time, they owned it all - now, they don't! Normally a release of material that the label owns cannot come out unless someone to do with the band approves it first. In this case, that was done. If the band representative(s) refuse such a request, then the item does not come out. I'm not sure if a label that owns tracks can issue compilations of those tracks without prior notification or approval from the band or their representative - some little voice inside me tells me that they can, but generally, don't.

BOC headlined the ents24 stage on the saturday night. It was the shortest set I've ever seen them do but they looked like they were having a great time and they were really good. It was a sort of greatest hits set. I can't remeber the complete order (end of the day, rather alot of cider etc). But they played: Red and Black OD'd on Life Burning for You ETI Shooting Shark ME262 Cities on Flame Godzilla DftR No encores I think that was about it, although there may have been another song (was anybody else there?) Buck did a really great solo at the end of Shooting Shark. The two new guys were great an fitted in really well. My only slight criticism was that due to the limited time it might have been nice to have another song instead of the bass / drum solo slot at the end of Godzilla - although I would point out that it was easily as good as the slot has been with previous rhytthm sections. I'm really looking forward to the Astoria gig (and I might go to Southampton) - is anyone else going? .......Charlie. (CtGB).

He played a lot of tide of the century and mentioned he's very ill. He didn't go into what's Up but the show brought tears to my eyes. Richard Chadwick was watching at the front barrier. Great to see that. Dunno if Dave or Alan saw it. Hawkwind? Well. another peak I thought! They started with Ejection - S of the east...then the memory failed me. I just followed my wife Andrea to the front barrier. Oh Yeah! Uncle Sam's on Mars Blew the sky away! PSI Power? I nearly wet my pants! Not many slow numbers...Out here we are-Love in space-7 by 7.Brainstorm with Upside Down (very pogoish!) in the midst and Paradox. Lord of Light was a joy to behold! Alan thrasing bass! Dave was very animated...Spirit of the age set the place on fire!! Dave looked so content and into it! The gig went very quick, the curfew was at 11pm sharp. I was compleatly draind. Like I'd been, I dunno...through a porthole and flung back to reality witha crash! The crowd was baying for more....Andrea was...I've never seen her go so mental !! Me? I was totally blown away (again). During the sat afternoon I'm sure I saw the infamous Pete Docherty Slipping backstage. Must have gone to learn from the masters!!!!!!! I hope they filmed it! Love to see what you all thought! Alan. Oh yeah...the security were the toughest (putting it very mildly) bunch of nasties I've encountered in a good whike!! Very luckily, I read the small A4 sized notice Oon the caravan athte gate to the Arena. Many others didnt. I saw one guy have his 12g pack of bacci gone through. They found his stash.

I don't know what he does during the day for the rest of the year, but I wouldn't be surprised if he were the logistics director for a multinational. The sheer vision, energy, diplomacy and co-ordination that went into Eastern Haze were clearly monumental. I had a brief chat with him on Sunday as he flitted around the site and was impressed by his good humour. The festival site, camping and car parking covered several large fields. There were several stages and a multitude of stalls. The stages had been set far enough apart so that there was no sound pollution between one and the other. The stalls consisted of a variety of food vendors, alternative therapy practitioners, the Hare Krishnas (from whom I had a very palatable vegetable stew), sculptors, tarot readers, clothiers of various kind, etc. etc. Numbers attending probably disappointed the organisers - at a rough estimate I would say maybe 2-3 thousand, but that's just my impression. We travelled down from Cheshire in two batches - a camper van hired for the occasion piloted by me with the wife, sons Matthew and James (guitarist and drummer) and a couple of their friends conscripted as roadies. Singer Tim, guitarist Craig and bassist Tilly came down with the gear in a hired van that looked as though its last hirer had used it in a stock car rally. This was the first time I'd driven anything larger than a saloon car - so a 7 hour journey in a 5 berth camper van through some of the narrowest roads in Britain was something of a challenge. I was pretty relieved to finally reach the site at 9:15 on Friday evening. Senser were playing as we wandered around the site - proficiently played and those watching seemed to love it, but not my style - but my style isn't that of many either! Senser sounded to me like a sort of spacey Beastie Boys. I was sorry that we'd had to miss others, such as Tarantism whose blend of celtic rock and techno really impressed me at the Hawkfest three years ago. The real ale tent was most appreciated - we discovered 'Gone Fishing', which has an ABV of 5.0%, and all the characteristic earthy heaviness of a real ale that I knew was going straight to my waistline - it's still in evidence as I type this on the sofa. Clearly the local council had felt they'd stuck their neck out having this event. A pair of policemen ambled around the site from time to time and licensing restrictions were vigorously enforced by an army of t-shirted security of various size and shapes - mainly large and daunting. However, the atmosphere was such that the local power should have no hesitation in running such an event again. I saw no trouble whatsoever and everyone looked as though they were having a thoroughly great time. The crowd covered a wide social span - from the clearly occasional festival visitor to the dedicated alternative lifestyler. Friday morning came, and we had been scheduled for 11am. So I climbed onto the stage at 9:30 to be greeted by a young gentlemen who asked me if I were a pimp. I explained that this could be clearly discerned from my hugely expensive wardrobe. Pleasantries out of the way, he promised to see who he could find to set up the sound, but explained that everyone had gone to bed very late the previous night. Craig and Tilly plugged in a 10 and started to warm up by playing a spontaneous blues number. They were promptly hushed by the stage manager who explained that the licence in fact stated that there was do be no music before 12 - so we were delayed an hour. We went back to the van and enjoyed the sun, chatted to 'Womble' who was running the local security, then at 11:30 went back to do the sound. As we were first on, much of this activity consisted of the soundteam getting the house drumkit right. Then the soundteam asked a question which I shall remember for a long time: 'What do you want in your monitor?' 'Er, everything?' I retorted. So at just after 12 we started - first time on a stage anything that size - and all I could hear were my keyboards blasting out of the monitor and much less loudly the bass from the stack and in the far distance a bit of guitar. I couldn't hear Tim singing at all. I must confess this threw me; I'm used to rehearsing in a small area to a balanced sound and I found this strange mix very daunting indeed. However, Craig kept us all on track; he's an astonishingly professional, proficient and cool musician. In the gig photos my face is screwed up as I'm desperately trying to listen to the rest of the band, and Craig is jumping around animatedly as he keeps us all in line. Anyway, people clapped after each song and no-one wandered off. The wife, Bernadette had not buried her head in her hands and one of our friends who'd come all the way from Bournemouth to see us and who took the photos was still smiling. So we finished the set with a new one 'Dynamo', which I think went of quite well, and I was pleased to see Rob Dreamworker write in his gig review 'good effort', if not his kind of music. Talking to the other bands and technicians, it seems that there were problems with the monitors throught the day - it was certainly a learning experience for me. Playing at this event was a fantastic experience for us all, and especially for drummer Matthew who was celebrating his 18th birthday. What could be more memorable than this? I'm very grateful to Vinny and his team for making it all possible. Anyway, gig over, Tim and I decided it was time to Go Fishing big time. Paul 'Bloke from Gloucester' introduced himself and joined us and a convivial and, in the spirit of things, hazy afternoon was passed in the beer tent, around the stalls and listening to the music. We visited the 2nd stage which was placed for some reason well away from the rest of the site. The tramp across the barren wasteland of corn stubble left me reluctant to go again - which turned out to be a shame because I believe there were some very good bands playing. On the mainstage, these stick out: Shom sounded excellent as we packed away our gear backstage Nukli were very good indeed. Obedientbone, very enjoyable. I'd heard a lot about Dream Machine and they lived up to expectations - very proficiently delivered instrumental space rock Tim Blake delivered an excellent set. Beautifully played and some of it, in the light of his court case, very poignant. I hadn't seen Here and Now for 28 years, and enjoyed their set - although, as others have said, far less animated than I expected. I wonder if this was down to on-stage sound problems? Hawkwind - a very good set, similar to last year's tour with the exclusion of Psychedelic Warlords and Angela Android. Perhaps the best version of Uncle Sam's on Mars I've heard in over 20 years, with guest Mr Dibs intoning the original Calvert lyrics from the PXR5 album - more relevant today than they were 30 years ago. The Chaos Illuminations lightshow, always spectacular, excelled itself with the backdrop to this song, combining shots of the martian landscape with an advancing Uncle Sam. 'We're looking for life - to stamp out - we're looking for life to grind out - we're looking for life, so mind out.......we put stripes on the stars....' Indeed. Having been on that stage myself I have an enormous respect for these seasoned musicians - not only Hawkwind but many of the other bands who gave an outstanding performance. Speaking of outstanding performances, Sunday was brought to life by Spacehead - perhaps one of the best sets of theirs I've seen. Many Spacehead standards, including my favourite, Dark Star (I have the Krel tape). They also did a storming version of The Right Stuff, within which was embedded Song of the Gremlin. For the few who haven't heard the originals by the lamented Bob Calvert, try and get a hold of Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters. A classic and once again, very prescient concept album dealing with arms sales and the seduction of the technology of death. Other bands I saw - Litmus - astonishing. Very good indeed. I've seen them several times now, and this was the best. A cracking, and sadly of course, timely version of Astronomy Domine was one highlight - but there were several also from their own material. Underground Zero - very good indeed. Grooveweird, fronted by the ubiquitous and versatile Vinny. How do they do it? An amazingly good set. We were waiting to leave to catch a couple of hours of daylight for our journey home but by popular request stayed to the end of this. Overall, a great weekend, great fun rehearsing for it, logistically challenging as it was so far away, and I'm looking forward now to going back to some studio noodling. Be nice to bands at festivals. They work really hard.

Musical high points (apart from the obvious one for me) were: Grooveweird - stunning, aggressive, dancey space rock. Dream Machine - lovely; excellent sounds for a hot afternoon Underground Zero - great to see them storming it up on a big stage Here & Now - especially the wonderfully improvised "Steffi Changes a String" Tim Blake - a moving and thoughful set Other high points: Everything that happened in the Big Brother Gazebo (especially the various visitors who popped in over the weekend - big "hi" to Harvey, Joie, Jon, Richard, Kev, Chris etc). Big Dave producing a perfectly made gin and tonic from the depths of his tent for me:). The nice, pleasant attitudes of nearly all the bands towards people taking photographs etc while they were on stage. Gary locking his car keys in his car boot; after 6 hours the guy from the garage still had not been able to open it! Low Points: The utterly farcical sight of certain people being deemed a "security risk" and asked to leave the back stage camping area and go to front of house when a certain band were playing. The band that tried to stop people taking pictures of them on stage. All in all, an excellent time:). Colin Eastern Haze Hats off to organiser Vinny.

Anyway, FBFOS played a killer set including The Right Stuff by Calvert but no Hurry on Sundown like the last time I saw them. I guested on Synth on the whole set so it was a bit more spaced out but they played a great show, 77 mins. All was recorded. Next, the OSC (Oresund Space Collective) played a second set. We played a 50min set before FBFOS. Our show was great and we had a really good vibe and feedback from the crowd who were getting more and more drunk and stoned as the night went on and we played a very psychedelic set. Synths are very high in the recording so it makes it more spaced out.... Great night.. you can hear the whole thing on the internet. The whole OSC set...

Eventually he got used to it and I got down to "The usual..." and he'd just glance in my bag and wave me through. My guess is that the festie wants an easy licence next year and instructed the security to be polite but firm, which was pretty much how it was except for the occasional prat who made a swearing match out of it. For my money I reckon that once their bar runs out of real ale, it should be fair game to bring in your own, but there it is. > Very luckily, I > read the small A4 sized notice Oon the caravan athte gate to the Arena.

As far as I could tell, it'd have been easy to place a package under the fence from the outside, out of sight of security, and then go collect it once inside. The whole country knows that we can't even keep drugs out of prison, and they have total control there. It's impossible to stop any mildly determined person from getting something into a festie without going for the whole Stalag 13 setup they have at Glasters, and that is VERY VERY expensive. Good festie, but they badly need the Germans to teach them how to deal with the toilets. Hoover 'em, hose 'em and polish 'em every hour, 24/7. It's the only way, and I know more people who won't come to festivals because of the toilets than for any other reason. If they want profits, they gotta shovel some shit.

Don't know about London or Nottingham, but EB didn't play that much keys at Manchester; I think they're avoiding the keyboard-heavy stuff. Don't forget that Allen (when well) probably spends more time on guitar than keyboards anyway.

Kicks a lot of life into a 32-year-old song :) Late to the party as so often these days, but since I've finally got round to listening to this, I have to chime in and say, this is a far stronger set than I would have hoped for if I'd managed to get to Roadburn myself. Rearrangements of several well-worn numbers, especially `Right Stuff' but not just, and a mercifully short `Assassins'. Generally it's just a full-strength high-impact performance and one the band could justifiably be proud of, one of those special sets we're lucky to have captured like _California Brainstorm_. If this does come out on CD there'll be songs here that haven't been recorded live since 1973 or 1974, too, which is a definite bonus. I also have to champion Real Alternative, which I found here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm Running as a browser plugin, that took me about a minute to install, there's only 10Mb or so of it, and it it `just works', instantly, no reboot required. On my creaky old machine Real Player's always been a no-no partly because it's proprietary, but mainly because it's bloated, huge and wouldn't run fast enough to be worth using. No such problems here, so that's me happy. Yours, Jon -- "When fortune wanes, of what assistance are quantities of elephants?"

Mychael was a founding member of San Francisco space rock and psychedelic band Melting Euphoria. He was the drummer for their 1994 self-released debut ?Through The Strands of Time? and their entire CD catalog on Cleopatra Records. He was also the drummer for all their live appearances, including opening for Ozric Tentacles at San Francisco?s legendary Fillmore Theatre. In 2002, Mychael started Fireclan with two former Melting Euphoria members. They released ?Electric Sunrise, Acoustic Sunset? in 2004. From 1999 to 2006, he contributed drums and percussion as an ongoing crewmember to three CDs by the Spirits Burning space rock collective, and as a guest on CDs by Weird Biscuit Teatime and Quiet Celebration. Music was the core of Mychael?s life and his drums not only defined his personality, but also brightened the lives of young and old for many years. Mychael?s music and his drum therapy classes in Marin and Sonoma brought joy and respite to more people than he would ever realize. Mychael?s many years of teaching preschool in the two counties brought him the greatest fans ever ? the very young and his fellow teachers. Mychael is survived by his wife Jessica, their son Jace, and his three stepchildren ? Robert, Michael Austin, and Emily. Mychael is also survived by his grandfather/pop Gene Merrill and his mom Linda Giacomini, stepbrothers Andrew and Antony, and stepdad Gary Giacomini.

Message-ID: (This is it, boys and girls. I figured I had no right to be stingy with the adjectives for a concert as rare as this'un. Enjoy. Feedback always greatly appreciated. - Jason) 3 hours before the show I was sitting in a restaurant's patio dining space with my parents. The table to the right of us had five people gathered 'round it, deep in reminiscing-mode about the bands they saw in high school. My ears zoomed in like radar as soon as I heard the words "Albert" "Elks Club" "Joe" "Regal-Tones" became a part of the dialogue. That was really cool, im my mind, 'cause the where/when of my youth didn't have anything similar besides CDs and LPS of strangely named groups like BOC, Popol Vuh, Procol Harum, and the like. Appreciating Albert and Joe's musical efforts was always a game of 'catch-up' or, in the case of the Brain Surgeons, something like commuting. I have to come out of the capital district 'burbs to the big city of NYC on my ownsome. But the Regal-Tones,by way of this eaves-dropped conversation, made what I love (music) have a context in which said passion could be at ease. Or in the lingo of the spirit of the age, it was 'A Happening'. The Barn Dance was just that.History and the present merrily dropped their temporal facaded to BOOGIE ON DOWN. Some faces familiar to me from the crowd at BOC/tBS shows were in attendance, as was Deborah Frost. 'Twas good to catch up with Albert and Deb in the pre-show glow of anticipation. As Albert said, "It's gonna be a wild night," and boy was he right. An opening band played a satisfying brace of Cajun-inflected Blues, like "Caledonia," to a small but dancing group of women and men on the dance floor. A good omen! Punctually, the Regal Tones took to the stage, ready for battle with Pendleton-styled, buttoned short sleeve shirts. Joe predominantly played keyboard, alternating to the guitar as needed by the song. More importantly, he acted as the impresario for the night. His command of the stage impressed me immensely, as I've only watched Joe in action at the Billy Hilfiger Memorial Show. Maybe it was the setting and show type (that was more of a 'festival' of different acts), but I think having a proper band and set for the entire night gave Joe the chance to charm the audience with his song introductions and tales of Regal Glory. This is the best guess at the set. In my mind, it fell together thematically. True to the times in which the found inspiration, they played several instrumentals: "Sleepwalk," "Walk, Don't Run," "Tequila," "Raunchy," and "Green Onions." What impressed me 'bout these was how well the two guitarist sounded in unison. The sax in "Raunchy," too, had an appealing force to it. Excellent. Albert's faithful atomic-clock-backbeat in :Green Onions" made time tight. The songs with words were many and they were raucous. "Louie, Louie" was happily performed with Albert steppin' out on lead guitar and vocals while the band's other guitarist manned the drummer's stool. Very cool. "Bonie Maroney" (is that spelling right?) had Albert on lead vocals while drumming, too. The first set's undisputable highlight, WITHOUT A DOUBT, was the band's run through "What'd I Say (parts 1 and 2)." The Crowd danced and moaned itself into the rock'n'roll moment. On the stage, Joe's riffage on the 88s was worthy of Ray and Albert swung a Big, Bad Beat. In the latter third of the set was the group's Beach Boys trilogy. Joe's explanation of diggin' the similarity in their personell to the Regal Tones(brothers and cousins), mutual enjoyment of rock and roll, and affection for the warm Clayton sun helped me see why the 'Tones popped some Surf into their sets. They played "Californian Girls" (with the symphonic intro done on guitar!), "Surfing, USA", and a song about T-birds. (I should know the name of this song! Argh! Alas, I've never been a Beach Boys fan. That came in handy, since I took the time to be merciful to myself by resting for Act Two). Also in the tumult the Immortal "Johnny B Goode" made an appaearance. Joe definitely played the guitar like he was ringin' a bell. Oh Yeah! And earlier in the set, he also gave The Killer's"Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On" that wasn't fakin' at all. By the way, they closed the first set with "Burning For You." It was TIGHT and heavy and poppy and great. I can now say I've heard all the members of BOC play the Big 3 live, in one configuration or another. The crowd's on flame with rock and roll and Joe's fretwork adds fuel to the fire during that gem of a song. The song bounced with attitude I've missed in other live attempts. I had sweat away several pounds of life by the time they took a bow after "Burning For You." In the interim, it stuck me that the crowd gathered at the front of the stage might well have been the entire arena. It was huge.

Is that something previously recorded with the old guitarist, or something from the "new" band (forget the name already), I wonder?

LSD Bedouin was the band founded by long time Hawkwind bassist Alan Davey. The drummer in the band was Danny Thompson jr. also another member of the Hawkwind family having played drums for the band on a number of releases and tours. The band was named following the release of Davey?s debut solo album Bedouin in 2003. The album was recorded and released during a short break from Hawkwind by Alan Davey. Having released the album the band hit the road on tour. The band wee dubbed alternatively a Psychedelic Motorhead or a straight ahead rock band with Arabic influences. Whatever the description the band were a popular attraction on the live circuit. This live album was recorded in 2003 and features the full set from the band which is loaded with Hawkwind favourites including Urban Guerrilla, Orgone Accumulator, Sonic Attack and Silver Machine. This previously unreleased live album will be followed by another studio album from Bedouin. In the meantime Alan Davey continues to be a core member of Hawkwind and has taken part in the recent successful albums released by the band and has also contributed to the forthcoming album from Hawkwind in the summer of 2006. Extremely Live 2003 will no doubt appeal to fans of Bedouin but also the large and devoted Hawkwind fan base which stretches across the world ...and beyond. --------------------------------- See the all-new, redesigned Yahoo.com.

You understood what it was all about.? Blue Oyster Cult?s knowing asides and smirking glances at each other indicate that they are all too aware of how open to parody they are. Their thinking must be: if anyone?s going to make money from it, it might as well be us. It?s difficult to imagine when you look at the embarrassing richness of theme and genre in popular music today, but once Blue Oyster Cult were considered cutting-edge. Kind of like an American riposte to Black Sabbath, they married a few meaty guitar riffs to some luddite goth poetry and sold by the barrowload. Nice work if you can get it, but when does such youthful foolishness grow tired? Apparently never, at least for longtime Blue Oyster Cult members Eric Bloom, Allen Lanier and Buck Dharma (or Donald Roeser as his mother named him). Another tacitly accepted truth of classic bands is that the most successful look least like their own road crew. So, while you couldn?t imagine Paul McCartney or Mick Jagger getting their hands dirty, Bloom and Dharma are hard to distinguish from the guys tuning up onstage before they appear. Only with their sunglasses on ? The Ferry has exterior windows, but we?re hardly blinded by the glare ? do the Cultists make a stab at adopting a rock-star persona. Their much younger bassist, Richie Castellano, follows their lead with the facial furniture and plays while wearing a retching expression that suggests he may have food lodged in his throat. Despite the urge to offer a Heimlich manoeuvre, his gurning, duckwalking enthusiasm is a nice balance to the elder members of the band?s seen-it-all-before nonchalance. As for the music, it takes a sense of humour to appreciate. Then Came the Last Days of May, says Bloom, is a true story about some guys from New York who rented a car and drove out west to buy some drugs. There, he says, they ?met a fate they didn?t deserve?. It?s an appropriately foreboding song, but with stumbling lyrics such as: ?They all had the money they had/ Money they hoped would take them very far.? This Ain?t the Summer of Love includes the line, ?This ain?t the garden of Eden/There ain?t no angels above?, and it?s one of many references to angels, demons and fantastical tableaus that wouldn?t appear out of place in a Michael Moorcock novel. For those not overly impressed by such dope-shrouded musings, the music outweighs the naff lyrics by at least a 2:1 ratio. That?s thanks to the customary five-minute guitar solo at the end of every other song, as Bloom and Castellano hilariously strafe the crowd with imaginary machine-gun fire from their instruments. Truly, Blue Oyster Cult world is a boy?s playground. Still, Godzilla is at least meant to be humorous ? with its meaty ?there goes Tokyo? chorus ? while the obligatory (Don?t Fear) The Reaper was Blue Oyster Cult?s one stumble across a great song. In the pompously titled Golden Age of Leather, however, another dodgy lyric stands as the most revealing: ?Raise your can of beer on high/And seal your fate forever/Our best years have passed us by/The golden age of leather.? I?ll drink to that.

This guy clearly doesn't have any interest whatsoever in the actual music, he only cares about style and attitude, and lyrics that are deeply symbolic of man's struggle against his socio-political environment. This 'review' is typical of the groupthink of British music journalism. It's the reason anything with any depth of musical content is marginalised in Britain. It's the reason there's huge exposure to pseudo-intellectual poseurs like Franz Ferdinand, or self-destructive idiots like Pete Docherty. It's the reason why many British bands that actually produce good music are more popular in The Netherlands than they are in Britain.

What you really hope for is that the band would maintain the enthusiasm for music and performing that they had as a young band. I sometimes think that one of the things that drags down bands who have had giant monster hits, is the resulting virtual enslavement to playing those songs night after night for years on end.

The enthusiasm and performance in the Regal Tones' 'Burning for You' blew away, for example, A Long Day's Night's rendition. Given the increasingly large guitar solo spots, I think they might do well to revive "donovan's monkey" and things like that from SWU as it fits that 'jamming' mode moreso than the present "Then Came the Last Days of May." It loses focus to me with two soloists (Lanier n' Roeser). A fun fact-speculation: Has BOC EVER played a show (post Agents) without Reaper during past 25 years. J.

BOC have the 'advantage' that they've only had three hits (in Britain, it's only really one), which, combined with a strong back catalogue of album tracks, means they've got a lot of opportunity to mix things up to prevent things getting too stale. On British shows they could quite easily get away without playing 'Burning for You', since it was never a hit over here. Not even sure whether they put it out as a single. OTOH, a band like Journey with many more standards solved the problem by going on lengthy hiatus multiple times.

Sandy Robertson of Sounds was a big fan. In the late 70s Sounds was actually worth reading as it wasn't punk uber alles like the other rags were at the time.

I noticed that as well, after I had finally bothered to closely read through what I had just posted. :) And that started to make me wonder why it also said "Disc One" for the tracklisting I forwarded from the original Voiceprint page. Perhaps it is to be a two-CD package with the HW 'covers' on Disc Two? Nope. Perhaps it was planned (?), so that the description was referring to the intended second disc, but it is clear from the following site that it will only be the single CD. http://www.kadu.demon.co.uk/pages/bedouin.html Grakkl --------------------------------- How low will we go?
