Waht is Faithlift like? I too like their earlier stuff (I think Dougie
MacLean actually plays fiddle on one track on either their first or
second albums -- and of course that made me track them down...)

Hmmm.. I'm not sure I'd say I'm "into" Spirit of the West but I
thin "Faithlift" is a decent album. I'd be hard pressed to describe
it, though, in any way that would give a decent impression of the
album. I bought it on the strength of the two singles I'd heard
on 89X (gotta love those CanCon laws..) and found the album to be
pretty consistently OK to good but not outstanding..

Well, is Faithlift more like folk music or rock? They started out a lot
more folky, wiht some GRAEAT traditional songs, and some not-bad
originals, but then they seemed to slide into uninspired rock -- which
always seems a tragedy.
Erm, tv is on now, but earlier was listening to oldies on the radio.
Is _Riders on the STrorm_ really such a classic? I mentioned
that I hated it, and Bruce acted like it was sacrelige.

Fripp/Eno "Evening Star." It sounds sort like the what I imagine the inside of
a CPU would sound like highly amplified.

re #197: I'd say probably more like rock, though better than average.
also re #197: I guess I've moved out of the stage of my life in which
I could stand to listen to Jim Morrison and the Doors but I agree with
you about "Riders on the Storm." On the other hand my opinions about
music don't coincide very well with those of the general populace so
perhaps we *are* the ones whose opinions are heretical.

RE #197 & #199 "Riders of the Storm" was the Doors' big hit when Jim Morrison
died, which may explain the cult following of that number.

"Walter Carlos' A CLOCKWORK ORANGE;" tatty 25-year-old vinyl getting
an airing now that I have *finally* gotten my turntable to sit level
on this creaky old floor.

Orinoco in #202: "Walter Carlos' A CLOCKWORK ORANGE" is Carlos'
presentation of all the music Carlos worked on for the film,
whether it was used or not. It has been out of print since its
initial release in 1971 (?),
presumably due to legal wrangling. The Carlos LP includes an
original composition, "Timesteps;" two movements from Beethoven's
9th Symphony, the Second (Scherzo) and an abridged Fourth (Choral);
Purcell's "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary"; and Rossini's
overture to the opera "The Thieving Magpie." This is all early
Moog synthesizer stuff, of course.
There is also an official soundtrack recording which includes only
portions of the Carlos performances.
NP: more vinyl: Malicorne, LE BESTIARE. French folk-rock from '78.

Five Hand Reel, debut self-titled LP from '77. More ticky vinyl.
Scottish folk-rock band which ranks with Steeleye Span in quality,
but which never got any US marketing.

The disc just arrived from an acquaintance in Australia this week.

Fairport Convention "Leige and Leif" just finshed on the CD player. probably
the classic British folk/rock album. This album has great singing, great
fiddling, and Richard Thompsom on guitar, highly recommended.

Plus, with the addition of that Leif fellow it's even better!
Listening now to U2's "Zooropa" album and mourning the fact that the
follow-up album is so awful. Granted I'm biased in favor of Zooropa
because (thankfully) it's almost more of an Eno album than it U2 but
the singles from the new album are just appallingly bad.
C'mon: "over me and over you / stuck together with God's glue /
gonna get stickier, too"? Is the whole album that bad or is there
some reason the low point has been singled out for incessant air-play?

Annelin Neadit, SKEAKIT. More Sami (Lapp) music. I am probably
mangling the spelling.

Actually, Mike, I personally think that the new album is excellent. Of
course, reluctant U2 fans of old have some trouble with the first two
singles.. but I don't have the problem of being an old U2 fan, I can actually
listen unprejudiced.
Staring at the Sun is one of my least favorite songs on the album... I don't
know why people obsess over it. "Do you Feel Loved" is much better, and it
sounds a bit like old U2. "Miami" is different, but I like the plodding pace
of it and the general feel.
Freak, Silverchair (I dig calling myself a freak)
