Kiki Dee 'Loving and Free'. I first bought this album back in 1973 and I played it to death. I regularly listen to it, just a lovely collection of songs delivered in Kiki's own laid back style.

The Trials of Cato's new release Gog Magog.

And I just noticed that six of the tracks are all the same length - 4:42.

Bought a copy at the concert I attended the other day. Polly brings a different dynamic to Will but it still works well so it's another fine release.

Love it - a remarkably good quality recording from the time , so many early Soft Machine live recordings from around this era have been digitally rescued from the mud.

Yes it's  a good one. So much energy in the performance . I was smiling as I remembered reading Robert Wyatt I think saying they used to play deliberately loud so they couldn't be booed!

I found a sticky label from work I'd scribbled on.
I must have heard this on the radio, but I don't remember.
Looked it up on the toob, now I have it on repeat :

A rare, entirely free day. The weather forecast was lousy but at the moment there are clear blue skies and sunshine. A perfect opportunity then to begin my end year "review" of all the new albums that I have bought this year before they get crowded out with seasonal music next month. Starting with:

Moonage Daydream - David Bowie
Ghost Stories - The Whitmore Sisters
One Hand On The Starry Plough - Ian Prowse
Charmed Life - The Divine Comedy (the third disc of new material)
The Tipping Point - Tears For Fears
Read The Sky - Oysterband

Anything to do with football team setups, I wonder?

Perhaps the 433 lineup so beloved of footy coaches was inspired by a John Cage composition....  Wink

If you're into your later Canterbury these downloads (totalling 6hrs+) might be worthy of your ears...some great stuff on them.

Yes, one thing leads to another, and before I know it I'm delving into Wyatt, Ayers etc.

Thanks  David - will check it out looks like a rich seam of entertainment!

I love the later Canterbury stuff , but my personal passion lies in the more  psychedelic Robert Wyatt Soft Machine era and the various off-shoots from that, like Gong and Kevin Ayres . Not quite as keen following the Caravan turn-off from the original Wilde Flowers band but still fond of some stuff  like Hatfield and the North.
