#NowPlaying Main Street by Roy Wood and Wizzard. The long lost third album from 1976 which appeared 24 years later.

#NowPlaying Red Queen to Gryphon Three by Gryphon. An album that is always rockier than I'm expecting.

#NowPlaying Temple Of Transparent Balls by The Black Dog. This CD was sent to me freebie in 1994 by Wayne Archbold, the boss of General Production Recordings. He sent quite a lot of CDs and LPs, kindly, after something extraordinsry happened...

#NowPlaying Phallus Dei, the first and best album by Amon Düül II. This cover art isn't as good as the Sunset reissue, but the music is so Gothic!

#NowPlaying Peradam by Soundwalk Collective with Patti Smith, featuring Anoushka Shankar, Tenzin Choegyal and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Inspired by a 1940s novel by René Daumal 'Mount Analogue: A Novel of Symbolically Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing'. Interesting.

The cover of Blast by Centrozoon is a real beast to photograph. Even out of the jewel case, it reflects every nanosqueak of light.

#NowPlaying MOI by Faust (curated by Jean-Hervé Péron). One of the four Faust solo albums released yesterday. A band that changed my life and, for all of us that were at The Garage that night, nearly caused a mass asphyxiation.

When I was young, Man's 'Live At The Padgett Rooms, Penarth' was one of those rarities you just never saw for sale. But the CD has twice the music, so it all turned out nicely in the end #NowPlaying

#NowPlaying Symphonies 2 & 3 and Cello Concerto by John McCabe. Performed by Raphael Wollfisch (cello), BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra - Kenneth Woods (conductor). A cracking recommendation by Dancing Monk, thank you.
Not a great photo of the CD but I'd had a few attempts and couldn't hold my phone still enough (the meds don't always kick in so early).

An album I wish would get a reissue is Neptune by Celluloid. From the early 80s, it was performed entirely on Mellotrons.

Animals is my second favourite Pink Floyd album (after Piper). I got this 2018 remix when it popped out but haven't heard it since. Dunno why, 'cos it's really good!

#NowPlaying Live Frogs set 1 by Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. This includes decent versions of Thela Hun Ginjeet and Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Set 2 is a cover of Animals and is excellent too.

#NowPlaying Mark Of The Mole / Intermission by The Residents. I'd never heard their music, then one day in 1983/4 I heard "Shorty's Lament" from Intermission. It sounded exactly how I expected.

I don't have a lot of stuff by the Grateful Dead, I think I always thought they'd be a lot scarier or something. I do like their mid-70s era though, particularly Terrapin Station and this, Blues For Allah.
