I remember when "Dark Side Of The Moon" came out. I also remember how many of my friends gushed over it. To me, it was alright, but I never thought it deserved all the accolades it got. I thought it was just a metaphor for all the cool kids to let you know that "Yeah I smoke weed" but will keep it on the down-low and listen to DSOTM. I still think "The Wall" is overrated when you consider it's a double album with about six actual "songs" I do love "Wish You Were Here" though. I like the "song side" of "Meddle" but never listen to "Echoes" (not enough time) Which brings me to "Atom Heart Mother" it is still my favorite PF record. My favorite cut on AHM has to be "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" from the first time I heard it I loved it. I can smell the bacon frying, the sound of the corn flakes being poured into the bowl, and of course the faucet drip, and from what I understand original pressing's of the vinyl have the faucet drip go on into infinity if you did not have an automatic turntable. I'll bet right now somewhere there is some acid casualty, sitting with his headphones on, who is now a pile of bones, still wondering what is leaking??? That brings me to this boot. It is not of the sound quality that I normally try to post. But in a way it's kind of a historical document. When you read the scans you'll see it is the only time they performed it live and captured on tape. (Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast) One other thing I don't see this posted a lot. I know over at "The Wagon" my last post was yet another PF boot, but hey it's always been about you and what I think you're looking for. However on numerous occasions I post what I like in hope that you'll listen to it and hear what I hear and like in it. SEE SCANS
Billy Cox´s Nitro Function - self titled -1972 Studio recordings @256 Out Of Print
Produced by International Artists supremo Lelan Rogers in 1972, and sporting an early Roger Dean cover, this is a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, from his old army pal & Band Of Gypsies bassist. Featuring lashing's of great Hendrixy guitar from Char Vinnedge, with bass & drums backing ala The Experience.This is mindblowing stuff!
Reissue of one and only album by Nitro Function, a post Hendrix project by Billy Cox (the gypsy) who used to play in Hendrix's Band Of Gypsy's. Musically obviousely very very Hendrix influenced especially the guitar parts.
Noel Redding was the better known of the 2 bassists that appeared alongside Jimi Hendrix during his brief recording career of 1967-1970 (due to the fact that he played on Hendrix's most acclaimed recordings), but Billy Cox had known and played alongside Hendrix longer. Cox originally met Hendrix back in 1961, when both were serving in the U.S. Army, and stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Cox was taken by guitar playing he heard coming from inside a 'Service Club' on the military base one day, which turned out to be Hendrix, and soonafter led to the pair holding jam sessions.
Both left the military at around the same time, which led to the duo forming the R&B outfit the King Kasuals, and subsequent steady gigs on the 'Chitlin' Circuit' (the black club scene in the south). Hendrix had decided by the mid '60s to try his luck elsewhere, and relocated to New York City, where he was discovered by ex-Animals bassist Chas Chandler. When plans were made for Hendrix to put a band together in England, he phoned Cox with an invite to go along with him, which Cox politely declined - opting instead to back R&B acts passing through the area. Hendrix went on to become one of the late '60s most successful rock artists, but by 1969, had grown weary of his musical direction (and the public's desire to constantly focus on his showmanship rather than his playing).
This resulted in Hendrix breaking up his band, the Experience, and setting out to form an multi-member ensemble. Hendrix's first choice for the newly vacated bass position went to his old friend Cox, and this time around, Cox accepted the invitation. The new group (Gypsys, Suns, and Rainbows), congregated in upstate New York, and consisted of rhythm guitarist Larry Lee, ex-Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell, plus percussionists Juma Sultan and Jerry Velez, in addition to Hendrix and Cox. Despite a memorable, set-closing performance at the Woodstock Festival in August of 1969, the new group failed to remain together long enough to record an album.
Hendrix decided that his next outfit would be more streamlined (both musically and set-up wise), as he returned to the trio format - retaining Cox as his bassist, and welcoming onboard drummer Buddy Miles. Although the new group (the funk-based Band of Gypsys) wouldn't remain together long either, they did manage to record a self-titled live album on New Year's Eve 1969 at New York's Fillmore East. With Miles' exit from the group, Hendrix phoned up old pal Mitchell once more, as the trio of Hendrix, Cox, and Mitchell began recording tracks for Hendrix's oft-delayed fourth studio album overall, at the guitarist's recording studio (which was still being constructed at the time), Electric Lady. The summer saw the trio play a steady stream of festival and arena dates in both the U.S. and in Europe, with plans to finish off the aforementioned album (with a working title of First Rays of the New Rising Sun) by the end of 1970.
But on September 18, 1970, Hendrix died tragically in England, a couple of months shy of his 28th birthday. In the wake of Hendrix's death, Cox played with others, including the Charlie Daniels Band, as well as session work and live dates. Cox continues to play to this day, including a Hendrix-tribute outfit called the Gypsy Sun Experience, which also includes former bandmate Mitchell on drums and Gary Serkin on guitar (Cox was also the recipient of his own model bass, when the Cort guitar company issued a Billy Cox "Freedom" model bass in the late '90s). In addition to the Band of Gypsys release, Cox's bass playing can be heard on such posthumously release Hendrix albums as South Saturn Delta, Live at Woodstock, Live at the Fillmore East, and a reconstructed version of First Rays of the New Rising Sun, in addition to such homevideos as Live at the Isle of Wight 1970, Live at Woodstock, The Dick Cavett Show, Rainbow Bridge, and Jimi Hendrix, among others. ~CGR

Inspiral Carpets - In Session w/Peel & In Concert 1988, 1989, 1990 &1992
FM/soundboard sources @320 & @128
After the Rock Roses and Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets were arguably
the 3rd most widely used band to emerge from the past
due-’80s/early-’90s Madchester scene. Just like the Charlatans UK, they
weren’t quite as innovative because the city’s two standard-bearers,
relying much less on the modern dance golf club beats that became
Madchester pop’s determining signature. They do, however, talk about a
desire for trippy psychedelia, specially the Farfisa organ-drenched
audio of Nuggets-style garage area rock from your ’60s, which arranged
them aside from their peers. In addition, it enabled these to tinker
making use of their audio after the Madchester trend had approved, as
well as the group continuing to score strikes right up with their
middle-’90s separation. Inspiral Carpets and rugs were created in the
higher Manchester city of Oldham by guitarist Graham Lambert — who’d
been experimenting the region since 1982 — and vocalist Stephen Holt,
who quickly both recruited drummer, Craig Gill. The group started to
choose a long term lineup in 1986 when Farfisa organist Clint Benefit
became a member of up, before bassist Dave Swift arrived to the fold the
next year....MORE HERE

All About Eveis an 80's British goth rock group
with a unique, folk-rock-influenced take on the style. The creative core
consists of Julianne Regan (vocals) and Andy Cousin (bass guitar), with
other members changing over the years.
Julianne Regan, a former
journalist, played bass for the popular rock group Gene Loves Jezebel
for a little while. The initial core of All About Eve was Regan,
guitarist Tim Bricheno, and bassist Andy Cousin from Aemotti Crii. As a
three-piece (plus a drum machine), they released a series of independent
singles starting from 1984 including "D For Desire", "In The Clouds"
and "Flowers In Our Hair". After Julianne sang backing vocals for The
Mission's God's Own Medicine album, the band received greater attention
and were signed to Phonogram. Drummer Mark Price was added around this
time.
Their self-titled debut album was released in 1988 and
produced the UK hit single Martha's Harbour. Drawing much of its lyrical
material from hippie ideals, white magic and dreamlike fairy tales, the
album's gentle folk rock-inspired pop sound won the band many fans
(nicknamed "angels"). Although often falsely lumped by the media under
the label of goth rock, little (if any) such inspiration actually played
a part in the band's music after around 1986, any "goth" connection
being drawn not from the music, but from the previous and future
engagements of the band members in the musical scene of the time.
In
a well known incident, the band later performed a dubbed version of
Martha's Harbour on the BBC1 television show Top Of The Pops, but, owing
to a studio technical error, the taped vocals were broadcast without
the band being able to hear them, resulting in the TV audience hearing
the recorded version of the song, while the band members sat motionless
on screen waiting for their cue to begin. By way of compensation the
band were invited back on to the show the following week, and this time
their performance passed off smoothly.
The following year, their
second album Scarlet And Other Stories was released, and the band toured
around the UK. Widely prevalent on this album were Regan's somber,
highly melancholic moods. Painful chance encounters with love also
appeared on the lyrical front, and it is this motif (and period of time)
which was to greatly paint the picture for the future of the band as
well.
